I’ll preface this by saying that I absolutely hate this government. I despise it. What has been done to the people of the UK and NI in the Tories’ name is utterly despicable. Fourteen years ago, you could get a doctor’s appointment for the same day; cancer patients were seen in 14 after diagnosis. You could get your passport in four hours and be assured that your kid’s school wouldn’t fall down around your ears. You could expect a short waiting list for your operation and for criminals to be rehabilitated. I loathe Sunak and his mob and can’t wait to vote for Labour - I’ll be campaigning for them come the GE. None of you would’ve known that, however, because it’s not something that I’ve ever mentioned on these threads. In a way, it’s not necessary to mention it. The Tories are on their way to a landslide defeat. We’ve all witnessed how this country has become shitter unless you belong to the top 5%. Everyone is miserable - and angry.
I’ve certainly been called a Terf because I don’t want trans people in women’s sports, prisons, domestic violence spaces, hospital wards or lavatories. As someone who has been r*ped three times, sexually assaulted more times than I can count and survived severe domestic violence, having biological males in vulnerable areas makes me freak out, quite frankly. I won’t comment on the Brianna Ghey sad, sad situation, because I deliberately avoided it due to how incredibly upsetting it is/was. One mistake that Ashley has made is in terms of categorisation, in her response re: women’s sports. Men and women are the two main categories. The other things she mentioned are descriptors. Ergo, we have a trans man, a Black woman, a disabled individual. Saying that we need trans voices in sports is to say that it is a discrete category of it own, which is not the case. Certain issues, such as biological men in women’s sports (particularly tough contact sports like rugby) should never have been considered in the first place, as a safety and fairness principle. Male body structures are completely different from women’s, and give them an advantage. That is an incontrovertible biological fact.
I do hope she’s getting Alf SEN help. His little run the other day - ! Poor baba.
Hope that everyone is well. I’m battling horrendous depression and anxiety at the moment and am sunk into a permanent state of misery right now.
@InTheDollsHouse - I never posted your birthday .gif; I’m so sorry.
I can't imagine Alf going to school.
. I should have also said that for all the 4 year olds at my kids nursery that weren't ready, there was also a lot that were and they thrived too!
