holding up your passport with all the passport number front and centre on live tv is enough for me to judge this man’s intelligence

[sarahblaquiere]

What makes anyone think that it's a "myth" that someone won't take advantage of self-ID? Bad actors exist everywhere - why give them more opportunities?

[pearlspiers]

Age 3? Willoughby is a joke! Alleging that a THREE YEAR OLD knows their gender… ridiculous!

[ReenieGUK]

What a slap in the face for Willoughby’s son and his mother

[dyoung]

Regardless of his passport, India Willoughby's openness as a trans woman means that everyone know that he's a man! He uses the word preposterous countless times in this interview and should probably look it up. His entitlement to trample on the rights of women to feel and be safe is yet another example of how preposterous this movement is. The patriarchy in stilettos is what I heard someone call it which I thought was very apt!.

Interesting... India does not consider being trans an illness or sickness. Presumably, then, India would agree trans people should not receive hormone treatment or gender reassignment surgery on the NHS. After all, why should anyone expect the NHS provide treatment for anything that isnt an illness.

If you have to self ID to call yourself a woman…its because you’re not one. 🙋‍♀️

[haemka]

When you make a new law you always have to take into consideration that there will be psychopaths who will take advantage of it.

[venicekyoto]

He doesn’t care about vulnerable women.

I am a cleaner in a professional adult learning environment yet i have to undertake compulsory safeguarding training for those between 18 and 25. How can these same adults be accepted to full democratic responsibility? And then suggesting it should be extended to children as young as 16?

[donnyskinglongliveme]

Those presenters can barely string a sentence together cause they have to analyse every word before they say it cause it's so unnatural and counter to the way we all think and feel. They basically have to contort their thoughts before it comes out of their mouths. Ridiculous!

The prefrontal cortex does not develop until around 25, so no we can’t make a decision like that.

[Sardinianheart]

10:55 not a single case, huh? That didn't age well 😂😂😂

[doreenmaurer]

Good luck making all countries of the world validate that passport.

[friendly-nemesis]

And once again, analogies fail the one who employs them; water doesn't cease to be water because a drinker has a reflexive aversion to the taste.

So you could change your gender, but your not old/responsible enough to get a tattoo....

[ArseniyaBlackMetal]

16 is too young, and I am a transwoman. Young people do experience dysphoria but many grow out of it in their 20's. Why not make it easier for people older then 25 to transition?❤

[johnbatson]

I agree with Leggo Head, 16 is definitely too young to make this life altering decisions

[jonsmum]

When he says “we don’t want anyone impersonating me” lols. says the guy larping as a woman. The irony.😅

[joeewell]

ONLY IF THE AGE 16 IS TOO YOUNG TO GET MARRIED, and yes, 16 is too young to change legal gender and get married.
