00:00 My tweet back in March was regarding a 12 year old who was doing it in front of adults
00:06 and it just upset me because I saw a kid, a little kid, a 12 year old, doing something
00:14 very over sexualised and I didn't think it was right.
00:17 Personally speaking I don't think 12 year olds should be performing in drag shows in
00:24 overtly sexual ways because they're 12 and they need a childhood.
00:29 It's nice for kids to have a childhood and grow up and find that out when they're old
00:35 enough to really understand it.
00:39 And that was my tweet.
00:41 I didn't associate it with the trans community nor would I associate that with the trans community
00:49 because I think they're two separate things.
00:52 I'm not transphobic.
00:53 I'm not a transphobic person.
00:55 I am a firm supporter of the legitimate trans community.
01:01 I always have been.
01:04 I think they have been infiltrated by some people who want to cause damage and want to
01:11 cause trouble and pit people off of each other and cause as much harm as possible.
01:20 But I would support any trans person who is feeling persecuted or not listened to or not
01:32 seen.
01:33 Of course I would.
01:34 I'm not a nasty person.
01:39 I'm really not.
01:40 I mean anyone who knows me knows that I'd give you my last tenner if you needed it.
01:46 I'm not a hateful person.
01:49 And I support the trans community.
01:52 I also support women's rights and I support the importance of women within society.
01:58 And I think those two are being really pitted against each other.
02:03 So I'm sorry if you feel like you need to boycott Strictly.
02:07 For a tweet I made about a drag show.
02:11 But I don't think 12 year olds should be doing overly sexualized drag acts.
02:18 That's my personal opinion.
02:19 That's all.
02:20 And I'm not pushing anyone else.
02:21 I'm just saying that's how I feel.
02:24 It upsets me when I see kids feeling like they have to do that.
02:28 That's all.
02:29 But I didn't associate it with the trans community nor would I.
02:33 I'm an ally of the LGBT community.
02:40 And I'm an ally of women's rights and I'm an ally of kids being kids.
02:45 And I'm an ally of just living, let live and making sure that we all look after each other
02:50 and hold each other up.
