The debate rages on, I see. There's sort of a point to it I suppose, like getting white folk to play black people or vice versa.

Or like getting a man to play a woman.....

Happy transgender day of visibility to all forum members who celebrate!

Maybe they could change the name from acting then as well.

Imagine that!   

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Pity it doesn't also mention the tenor of the majority of those mails. Tbh, I don't know whether it's more likely to be mostly trans defenders or critics.

[astfgyl]

Ah stop missing the point on purpose

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Ah yeah, I get the point it's ridiculous that people, for whatever reason, care more about this than care about others facing the threat of evictions. Sorry, had smoked, that was more mind wandering than anything 

[astfgyl]

Deed tis grand. You're probably right that a fair percentage of the emails are not in support of the trans issue. The eviction ban lifting is probably going to cause trouble going forward if any of the newly emptied properties are rented by foreign nationals even if they pay fair and square with their wages from working here it'll be fair fodder for the protest crowd. Dunno if an eviction ban would ever have worked really because there would always have to be an end to it at some stage. Tough one

Well go on, someone defend this madness

How about the Dalai Lama? I'm hearing in some cultures it's normal to ask a child to suck your tongue...
