Where Are We Going To Find Enough Common Sense?

...for a whole country full of trobscites in local authorities. I can just see the bonfire of the loo signs now!

Based on the search results, "trobiscite" does not appear to be a standard English word. In the provided context, it seems to be used alongside "handwringers" as a derogatory term, likely a misspelling or nonce word (invented for rhetorical effect). The intended meaning might relate to "appeasers" or "collaborators," but no authoritative definition exists for this term.

Thanks for that, any input on the actual post?

I think there will be a strange uptick in the number of former-advocates of Trans-rights who suddenly realise that they actually knew exactly what a woman was all along.....they were simply misunderstood and, of course, they have always believed that society works better when the lines of sexual demarcation are obvious and adhered to.

I am sure that will be better phrased by someone in HR with a vested interest in hanging onto their job....

Will the NHS stop trying to educate these women?

Ah, HR, the attack dogs of the twee and earnest.

[New Judge]

“Will the NHS stop trying to educate these women?”

I hadn’t read about this until now. This stands out:

“The NHS trust’s HR department dismissed the nurses concerns, stating they should 'broaden their mindset' and 'be educated'.”

I have never heard such an arrogant, dismissive response from (what should be) a responsible organisation to a legitimate and jusified  grievance from a number of their staff. The mind boggles.

It demonstrates that the HR people have no grasp of the law they are attempting to work with. Even before yesterday’s ruling it was clear that employers have an obligation to provide safe and suitable facilities for their staff. Those which didn't only got away with it because they are usually large organisations with bottomless pits of (usually other people's) money to fight grievances like this one, through the courts. 

“A hearing on the case is expected on 16th June 2025.”

Hopefully yesterday’s judgement will now make that unnecessary and the trust can instead crack on with providing suitable changing facilities as they are (and always have been) required by law to do.

If "Rose" is uncomfortable using the men's changing facilities, perhaps he can use use either the Ward Manager’s office or a patient discharge room. This was suggested for the women who were uncomforable changing in he presence of a man, so there should be plenty of room.

The NHS, above all other organisations, has embraced the transgender nonsense with a vengeance and the Durham & Darlingon case illustrates that perfectly. They have a lot of work to do.

Where do they find these people who are employed in HR departments in the public sector? Why cant they just employ normal people who have previously worked in the real world?

[New Judge]

"Why cant they just employ normal people who have previously worked in the real world?"

Because most people who have worked in the real world wouldn't touch such jobs with a barge pole.

It takes a special kind of person to work in places like the NHS HR departments. Anyone who reacts with a response in the way the mob in Durham & Darlington did, has to be somewhat special.

Marvellous - action is already being taken.

 

"Trans people being held in custody by the force will be searched by officers who match the sex they were assigned when they were born."

I have been enjoying watching and reading the trans community today lose their minds.

"I have been enjoying watching and reading the trans community today lose their minds."

So have I.

Far better than watching them expect everybody else to lose theirs.  🤣

[david small]

Special as in mentally dis functional?

[ToraToraTora]

"I have been enjoying watching and reading the trans community today lose their minds." - yep it's been almost as much fun as watching the lefties losing it when Trump won!

[Deskdiary]

From what I've seen and read, it's only the men pretending to women and not vice versa who have been going nuts.

 

Funny that.
