Who is Billboard Chris? The 'gender ideology' protester visiting the UK

BILLBOARD Chris — known for counter-protesting liberal demonstrations across Canada and the US – has come to the UK.

He visited Ireland, Wales and England before heading to Scotland.

Chris Elston is known for travelling around the world with a billboard carrying messaging warning against the "errors of gender ideology", particularly in relation to children.

In Ireland, the protester was stopped by the police after walking near a Disney store resulting in several people contacting the authorities. 

On his website, the protester says: “I’m a father of two girls and I decided to take a stand against gender ideology. Children should be free to be who they are — not indoctrinated to believe they were born in the wrong body.”

The activist has recently been in Scotland, where a group of three women took the protester on in Glasgow's George Square over his claims against trans healthcare.

In a video filmed by the protester, the women question why he cares so much about trans bodies and whether he knows any trans people.

The women cite the NHS process of transitioning whilst the protester claims children are being sterilised.
