    On the letters page. A sad story of a transgender being abused/belittled by Barnsley fans in Hitchin. going round the pubs selling a newsletter. Prior to the postponed Stevenage game. (He/she does admit it's not a barnsley phenomenon) What a sad indictment. They should give their heads a wobble. Why can't folk just be nice to one another.

    Can't even start to imagine the levels of abuse and discrimination they face on a daily basis.

    Transgender or cross dresser? Didn't he say he only dresses up as a woman on one day a week? I wonder if he writes to every local newspaper after the football fans have been in town. Something didn't sit right with me when I read the letter.

    Sorry mate only got round to reading it this morning. I wasnt aware it had been discussed, I must have missed it. Abused maybe ott on my part, but definitely belittled (snigerring etc) I'd have posted a link if I knew how.

    It wasn't a good read. He wrote a good letter without slagging anyone off. Just how he felt with the atmosphere created. And disrespectful attitudes.
