Ha ha Jakdaw, I was just going to say that. I was this first of my friends to have a tranny as my brother was in the navy and brought one back from Singapore before you could buy them here.

Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull is perfectly free to spend her £700 as wished - I feel she could have done a little more good in her community with that amount.

Modified men aren't women. They just aren't - and they never will be. Absolutely preposterous.

[jim360]

How very pleasant of you to refer to the modern definition of tranny as synonymous with a "freak".

[jim360]

"Never" is a looooong time to be so confident, N. Especially when history and language moving in the other direction.

[naomi24]

Jim, Although you make efforts to go around the houses to justify this, language isn't the issue and neither is history. That sign is accurate and shouldn't have been removed. LGBT are offended? I'm offended by modified men who insist they're women. Where does that leave me? However you want to dress it up (so to speak) they are not women.

Really Naomi? I thought you were much tougher than that! I’m shocked.

Total nonsense. Naomi is bang on the button. Why cannot people accept the simple fact about what distinguishes M from F. Penis versus uterus springs to mind. How the heck will history and language change that. The mind boggles.

I'm not going round the houses to justify anything. I'm saddened that you're offended by other people's identities, but it doesn't change the fact that gender identity is a real phenomenon that Western society is finally coming round to acknowledging.

Naomi is a woman, these perverts are not. Check out the bloke in prison, ex paedo assaulting female inmates.

I would be offended if I was a "real" female.

[jim360]

Sparkly -- I've already referred you to "hijra" people in South Asia, or the four genders in the Deneh tribe of North America.

Go and read about them before joining Naomi in being wrong. Gender is not about what's between your legs.

Absolute nonse nse a few misguided halfwits perhaps. Address me as "croaky" now, I have identified as a frog.

jim: "Gender is not about what's between your legs", quite right it is defined in every cell of the body, no amount of dressing up and surgery can change that.

It absolutely is. Forget this carp about some stupid uneducated tribesfolk.

[jim360]

IT's not about genetics either, TTT. That's what determines sex (with a few exceptions: "XX men" are known to exist, for example). But gender is about one's role and identity in society.

In the long run, anyone who disagrees with this as flatly as N, TTT and Sparkly are doing are, at the very least, ignorant.

[jim360]

And, given that last post, bigoted and offensive to boot.

I'm sorry you feel so threatened by the modern world that you need to insult "tribespeople" (actually, the entirety of South Asian culture these days) in order to justify your views.

[naomi24]

Jim, you haven’t answered my question. If these people are confused enough to believe they women, and the rest of society is supposed to accept that, where does that leave me?

Additionally, you can father a child. I can’t – and I can’t because I’m a woman. Likewise I can become pregnant and give birth to a child. You can't - because you're a man. The whole thing is utterly absurd.

How rude, my memories of playing doctors and nurses proved to me that there are only TWO sexes. I have enjoyed that difference all my normal life. This ridiculous rubbish about hundreds of different genders is a load of old pony.

[naomi24]

Jim, //In the long run, anyone who disagrees with this as flatly as N, TTT and Sparkly are doing are, at the very least, ignorant. //

No Jim. You're confused.

[Jackdaw33]

Does jim360 have a vested interest in all of this?
