It cannot fail, and I challenge everyone to post this same simple piece of text anywhere and everywhere that they see snowflakes, media commentators or anyone else waving the 'offended' flag.

"Article 19 - Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."

If Twitter, Facebook, Governments, or anyone else attempts to restrict freedom of speech they are in direct contravention of Article 19. Simple as that.

The whole agenda is being driven by attention seekers, and by constantly commenting on their comments, all that we are doing is perpetuating the insanity. We are feeding them with what they crave.

Long hair does not make a man a woman. Woodstock Festival was full of guys with long hair.
Dresses do not make a man a woman. In many cultures the men wear robes.
Trousers do not make a woman a man. Plenty of women wear jeans and trousers, they are proudly female.

Take all of that away and what are we left with, a bunch of guys with hippy hair, and who wear a dress. That's all, nothing else. They could equally appear that way and describe themselves as a banana, they do it to get attention, to make people talk about them, it is why they do it, and like sheep every media outlet jumps on their bandwagon, as if we all want to know about it.

Starve them of attention and the whole thing will go away. I am fed up with listening to comment on every last little thing that these  people say and do.
