There are opposing views but the majority of people I have met are very much in favour of not splitting up a family. I have two children. I am not sure about the Minister of State. I love my two children who have forgiven everything I have ever done to them. They have forgiven every mistake I have ever made and every decision I have ever taken. The children of one transgender person in this room have stuck by her through thick and thin. We heard an e-mail earlier from that woman. That is the issue. All the rest is only fluff and window dressing. At the end of the day, it is about not breaking up a family. I ask the Minister of State to bear that in mind.
