OK so we know that less than 1% of people are TG, right? so who is spending all their time scanning the airwaves for even the slightest dissent on the "prescribed" view on the subject? An MP is subjected to abuse and threats and sacked for merely stating "women are adult human females" - gawd, they've made me side with an SNP MP!

mushroom - // // Donald Trump pretended to be president //

actually he was president - which is what was scary as he had the power to take his country to the brink of war. what he pretended to be (I think) was a statesman. //

You are quite correct - what I intended to type was 'politician' rather than 'president' since he was clearly the latter and equally clearly never the former.

A long afternoon wrestling with a difficult music feature about a band I don't know at all has left me somewhat confused - off for a cup of tea and an episode of 'Life On Mars'.

Do you have to pepper your posts with pointless profanities?

As an atheist it means nothing to me, but several of our AB'ers are devout Christians, and your careless use of language may cause upset, and maybe you should think about that for future posts.

@16.12.But what if the transgender male was to shave off his long beard and put on a long blonde wig on his bald patch would that make you change your mind about these poor souls going into female toilets with your young daughters?

16.34. Good grief!

Sparkly. I’m with you. I’m sick of people pretending to be what they’re not too - and even more sick of people who expect the rest of us to lie to support their fantasies. A bloke in a dress is a bloke in a dress - no matter what he imagines.

Hi naomi, as always the voice of reason.

A man who 'self-identifies' as a woman is a man and not a woman. A hampster who self-identifies as a crocodile is a hampster.

your cup of tea is getting cold Andie
and that episode of Life on Mars is melting before the log fire or something

and yes I will think about it sometimes and when I do I will think of you, ( atheist andie, and yet bravely carrying nay forwarding christ on a cross to re-assert christian rights like constantine at Milvian bridge 298 AD) - er as if the christians here arent vocal enough as it is

[Paigntonian]

Would be grateful to the politically correct if I could ask to be recognised as a women on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and as a bloke on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Saturdays and Sundays I would want to be treated as a transexual and as transgender. As I am self-identifying I trust that this will be OK.

[mushroom25]

I self identify as a twelve year old. now trusting that Avanti West Coast will respect that and my half-fare twelve year old's train ticket to London.........

[Mamyalynne]

No problem as far as I'm concerned Paigntonian - I treat everyone as a fellow human being so you'll not notice any difference.

// Any posts asking or discussing why a post or thread was removed or closed, or why a member was banned or suspended, will be removed. //

This has been a rule for a while, Bigbad. As to your post yesterday, I can only suggest that you email the editorial team if you have any queries or complaints.

[Bigbad]

Well, Jim.
Contacting the team over a removed post seems a bit petty and, “miss, miss, miss” to me.
But I still fail to see why the post was removed yesterday, or what rules it broke.
Funnily enough, it was a reply to you!

[Bigbad]

Do you think so, bednobs?
But you obviously get away with the “let’s put another poster down rule” on a regular basis.

[bednobs]

lol I have no idea, because your post was gone, so I have no idea what you said. The don't be a dick rule (ironic given the theme of the post) usually applies to all removed posts though. I wasn't calling you a dick (how would I know?) but perhaps that is the reason (as it usually is)

Glad to see that they are not completely bonkers across the Atlantic. The Women's Liberation Front( me neither), WoLF are demanding and have petitioned the US Department of Education demanding that the department make a rule to change regulations to ensure the rights of women and girls are preserved in all education activities, including sports. They have condemned Biden’s executive order that removes any legal recognition of the two sexes and eliminates crucial protections for women in the federal government and beyond.
WoLF is requesting that Title IX(Under Title IX there are no sport exclusions or exceptions) be enforced on the basis of “sex,” i.e., biological sex, in accord with a memorandum from the Trump Department of Education.

I am a wimmins libber.
