Absolutely (to be clear, if anyone genuinely is seeking to explain it to their children, but is uncertain how best to do so, then I applaud that and hope they can find the advice they need - but that's so rarely the case).

The only thing I can think of is if someone they know has decided to transition, but that is also.....not difficult to explain.

Whenever I see a minister (or backbench Labour MP) give some weak response, I just want to scream the following at them:

YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY WITH AN ENTIRE COMMS APPARATUS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS - USE THE BULLY PULPIT TO SAY “RACISM BAD.“ ALL DAY, EVERYDAY, ON EVERY AVAILABLE OUTLET

Very much the kind of scheme you'd expect to be offered by a much more reliable railway.

Wonderful.

Exactly - very frustrating for those trying to make it without the connections.
