Did anyone see Seema Mahotri on Sky news The Wrap during the week? (it used to be called Press Preview, she's the Labour under-secretary for Equalities in Department of Education)
It was the day of the Olympic announcement that Women's category is for biological women - I only caught the end of Mahotri's comments, she was saying that these DSD men will be unable to compete as they will be barred from Women's sports, they can't compete with other men, and how unfair this is for these men.
It seems she actually thinks there is a third sex, that a man with a DSD is neither male or female (or they are both sexes? 🤪) so they should compete with women - how can an intelligent woman be this stupid?

The other panelist pointed out it was unfair to women, who have trained for years, to compete with men as they have a biological advantage.
Mahotri has a strange take on biology and equality - won't somebody think of the men!?! 🙄

The ever brilliant JKR.
I notice among the comments one from Graham Linehan, effectively saying "I think the way you do - why don't you like me?"

More and more I find him a self-pitying misery guts. I was initially impressed and grateful that he was on the side of the angels, but he seems to need to be centre and foremost in everything. There are women working as hard, if not harder, than he is to end this horror, but whenever he is present he takes over and makes it about himself. (He doesn't even seem to be aware that he is doing it. Very male behaviour. 🤭 )

I think he has set himself up as a Knight in Shining Armour and Protector of Women - but he expects women to be eternally grateful and to fuss round him like broody hens cosseting a single (giant) chick. And as I say - unaware.

I wish he didn't turn everything round to be "All about meeeeee!" 😓

Of course he does 🤢. All this handwringing about keeping boys out of girl guiding. Bloody hell, they’ve only had this bizarre ‘trans inclusive’ policy since 2017, compared to 107 years as a girls-only organisation. Less than ten years of infiltration and the whole premise of the organisation is turned on its head due to a regressive ideology.

I wonder what the young girls who attended the 1909 Boy Scout rally at Crystal Palace demanding something just for them would have made of it.
I'll be very surprised if the predicted "mass exodus" takes place.

Empty vessels making a lot of noise if you ask me.

Pretty sure the Tudor court were well bleeping aware of the difference between males & females. The females are the ones who are beheaded and blamed for lack of a male heir and the males are the only important offspring and the ones who cause religious chaos because they fancy someone they aren't married to.

Give me bleeping strength. I know it was several hundred years ago but no, I won't get over it. duck you ITV and duck you Jill Trevellick Casting.

Exactly, the chances of a male identifying as a woman then were pretty much non existent. Women were second class to men, pretty much like now in some parts of the world where the men also aren't queuing up to do it.
What show is this for?
I must make a note to actively avoid it.

If having a DSD renders a man unable to take part in elite sports, that's unfortunate. Maybe the solution would be to include a category in the Paralympics - if it is a known disadvantage (I don't know if it is or not). Or maybe they would qualify for an existing category.

If having a DSD means that a man is unable to take part in elite sports against other men because they're simply not good enough - tough. Most of us (male or female) aren't good enough. Accept it, move on and find something you are good at without cheating.

The solution is not to compete against women, when you are a male.

Why don’t they just say they’re looking for a young-looking teen boy who likes wearing make-up and dresses and goes by the name of Scarlett. From the description, it looks like they want to recruit someone who looks young enough to play a child but can be made to look older as the series progresses.

He's fathered children like a man, too.
I don't think he fathered them. The article uses she/her.

She is also one of the most recognisable intersex women in the world. In her book The Race to Be Myself, Caster explains herself. "On the outside, I am female. I have a tina, but I do not have a uterus. I do not menstruate and my body produces an elevated amount of testosterone, which gives me more typically masculine characteristics than other women, such as a deeper voice and fewer curves. I cannot carry a child because I don't have a womb. But contrary to what many people think, I do not produce sperm. I can't biologically contribute to making new life".

Reports state that the wife became pregnant by artificial insemination.
Semenya has also been quoted as saying...
"I don't produce sperm."
"I don't have a womb."

Shame he's never said "I beat females at running because "I'm a MAN".

Totally agree, especially with the BIB. You can see the gradual creeping of ever more salacious programming on TV: the bid to push the boundaries that little bit further as to what’s shown in regards to sex. And I’m not talking about films or dramas where you would expect to see sex scenes etc as part of the story, but the constant plugging of sex-related reality tv shows and documentaries.

Channel 4 alone has Open House: the Great Sex Experiment’; Virgin Island; Dating Naked UK and Naked Attraction. Not forgetting Naked Education which was aimed at ‘teens and parents’ where a group of young teens (14-16) were exposed to random adults stripping off to ‘show different body types’ as well as mutilated trans-identifying females (I know we discussed it on here at the time). The show aired an hour before the 9pm watershed.

Now I’ve read that in the Chelsea Flower Show (of all places) this year, there’s going to be a sex-themed garden sponsored by the sex toy company, Lovehoney. Just why? The designer is quoted as saying, “Houseplants, much like pleasure, are something we should celebrate openly and abundantly.” Again, the ‘normalisation’ of ‘celebrating’ sex ‘openly and abundantly.’
When you can't even watch the CFS without sex being pushed in your face, society has absolutely lost it.

I've basically retrated now. I consume very little and sometimes no current day media. I can't take the constant smut and 'boundary breaking' stuff. I do not want to have incest shoved in my face in what feels like every bloody drama going, I don't want let anyone attempt to brainwash me into being 'accepting' of anything.

It's not that there wasn't propaganda in the days before but the pornification and attempt to make it so absolutely nothing is taboo makes me sick to my stomach. I've been called an old church lady (not on here) for these views but in the real world I am far from alone in despising this stuff. It's not art, it's not edcuation. It's a platform that has been hijacked by the most utterly vile perverts who want the normalise their creepiness and force everyone to particpiate in their kinks, and parents should be screaming in the streets about it.

Wow this is great! Although part of me would have liked to have seen just now many people actually consider themselves trans/NB.

I bet many of them will lie on this though, Himdia Withawilly for example.
