This worrying obsession: Eddie Redmayne may look divine in a dress, but the glorification of the tiny minority who feel born into the wrong sex has troubling implications, says SARAH VINE

Born Einar Wegener, Elbe first slipped into the role of a woman when his wife (also an artist) needed a female model for a portrait sitting.

It was then that he realised that his true gender was female, and Lili was born, or so the story goes.

It must be incredibly traumatic and confusing to feel alien in one’s own skin, to want so desperately to be something you are not.

I cannot imagine that anyone would undergo gender reassignment surgery or pump themselves full of hormones unless their suffering were genuine. It must require both courage and conviction to make irreversible changes to one’s gender.

But the sheer force with which the transgender agenda has been pushed to the forefront of the cultural discussion has been quite remarkable. As has the aggression used by various lobby groups to promote what we might call the transgender case.

Quite simply, we seem to have spent most of this year being told that it’s not good enough for us simply to accept transgender individuals as a small but perfectly valid community: we must also embrace and praise them as though theirs were some sort of heroic achievement on a par with the discovery of penicillin and not, at the very core of the thing, just a rare and often traumatic condition.

Indeed, the crescendo of noise around gender issues is particularly surprising when you stop to think how small the transgender community really is.

It's the DM... not surprising

The comments are no better:

I sometimes wonder if there are any heterosexuals living in the UK now. I don't care what sexuality anyone is, I'm just fed up with hearing about them.

Quote:

What people do in the privacy of their own home, is up to them, but please don't force it down my throat.

Quote:

Really, in the modern UK the only thing a person is REALLY expected to be ashamed of is that they're normal and believe in traditional values.

All with thousands of upvotes. The Fox News of Britain.
