Viewers accused a Good Morning Britain guest of ‘breath taking stupidity’ when she was trying to make a point on the show. The UK’s first transgender newsreader India Willoughby was appearing on the show today (Jan 16) to discuss the issue of children being able to change the sex on their birth certificates at the age of 16, which is happening in Scotland.
In making her point, India brandished her passport at the screen twice - prompting host Susanna Reid to quickly step in to try to stop her. Viewers had their heads in their hands as she held it open with all her details potentially visible for criminals to steal.
Susanna Reid said: “Let’s take that specific example if you’re a boy, it’s a single sex boys school, but you feel very uncomfortable you want you do choose to change your gender. Do you stay at the school as a girl or do you then go to the girl school? What do you understand would happen in that circumstance at 16?
