An article in which Jeremy Clarkson criticised changing attitudes towards transgender people has provoked a storm of criticism on social media.
The self-proclaimed "equal opportunities loudmouth" used his weekly column in The Sunday Times to argue that parents who "indulge the whims" of children wanting gender reassignment are living "lunatic lives".
He also commented on the recent focus on high profile transgender cases, writing: "We must now all turn our attention to the plight of people who want to change their name from Stan to Loretta. As far as I was concerned, men who want to be women were only really to be found on the internet or in the seedier bits of Bangkok."
According to Metro, Clarkson's "rant" took "specific aim at parents of trans children, saying that they were 'poisoning the minds' of their kids by indulging them".
The 55-year-old TV presenter gave the anecdote of a child who was born a boy but took a girl's name and started wearing girl's clothes at the age of three and, later, went to a girls' school.
"And her parents had simply indulged this whim."

I love this guy.
Well, he’s right.
it’s the under 30s who have been brainwashed and cant think for themselves that are bashing him on social media.
it’s amazing how things just change to WAY WAY WAY past the point of insanity, like the 250k fine in NYC for calling a guy who wants to be called a girl, a guy, and we just keep going on with our lives.
would like Trump’s and Ted’s opinions on this insanity too.
OMG!
Did you make that image?
Well done...lol
Even money s/he has a bigger dick than Count Zero.
Of course... :)
Better image work than I can do...
My stuff is just simple manipulation using the basic tools in the free IrfanView program.
another guy who is not PC, good for him.
No stick shift trannys chicks
Pedophiles and perverts are pushing this child ‘transgender’ agenda. It serves them well.
Someone has to make a public stand and speak on behalf of the innocent.
It's FREE!
It's what I use. I use it for animated GIFs too!

Jeremy Clarkson ping. I wonder if this will put Elen off “Top Gear” reruns. She’s very offended by the contention that transformers are mentally ill.
I don’t really care whether they are or not if they’re adults, but he’s right about three year old ‘transgender’ kids in either case.
Yep.
Did you see the new makeup commercial Ellen DeGenerate is in? She looks like a man now. No wonder she’s for transsexualism.
I’ve seen magazine photos. She is quite masculine in appearance. She always had rather neutral features, and of course aging makes a impact.
I like Clarkson but people whose analysis concludes with “...well it’s not the end of the world is it”? Are effing stupid. The irony here may be that if the twitter verse can pull him down it WILL be the end of the world for him, unless operating a car park somewhere is living, in his mind.
