Grey Market is a new one on me. When did this come about? *Genuine question*.

Who gives a fuck?

It seems like Chinese transgender people have fairly good rights but Sky News still tries to portray it as if it's the worst country in the world to be transgender. Try going to any islamic country in the world and see how they are treated maybe?

Why do I need this information💩?🤔🤔

Who cares!!! If they want to change gender, get on with it, we don't want to see this rubbish.

and sky gets the award for putting peoples lives at serious risk
