Craig and Charlie Reid, who make up the beloved Scottish rock duo The Proclaimers, best known for their 1988 hit “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles),” denounced trans rights while promoting their new album, claiming the movement for equality is merely “the Left losing their collective mind.”

The 64-year-old twin brothers discussed their new and staunchly political album, You May Offend, with The Telegraph earlier this month. While the songs express several views that veer left, they made clear in their interview that they do not support trans rights.

I don’t understand why so many people give such a shit what someone else does with their own body. Less than 1% of the population is even trans. The majority of these people don’t even know a trans person. There are so many things happening in the world that actually affect your life directly to pay attention to that people ignore. There’s nothing about a trans person existing that affects the people around them other than their own discomfort at choices they don’t understand. It’s so petty and pointless to fight against - let people be who they want to be. No one is pressuring you to do the same or force that culture on you. Unlike religion or anti-trans crusaders.
