Haven't we grown up in some ways.. [View all]

..Watching X Factor and Felix was just on the stage - a transgender chap of 20. No one blinked an eye. Remember back to the day of Pop Idol and Will Young, when he had to do a controlled interview because one of the red tops was going to out him? And then we all thought he would lose cause he was gay....

Last decade shock at the gay guy ( I wasn't shocked of course but I live in the London bubble)
Fast forward to today and no drama about a trans chap trying out for the show.

For all the bollocks of Brexit and the right being on going wankers, at heart we are a Progressive nation, and we are progressing nicely, thank you very much. Bloody marvellous!
