I note that this is way, way better than I typically expect the Guardian to be on the topic of trans* people (and wish I weren't so cynical about the fact that they're being ~this good~ because it gives them a chance to have a dig at the Daily Mail).
... however, I also note that if they are going to insist on getting a vox pop from a token straight cis white professional dude in his early 30s? They should maybe think twice before quoting his surname as "Mudkipz".
