So y'all remember the Sunderland church that decided that following the law wasn't for them? They said that women should ask staff to accompany them to the toilets if they had concerns about sharing them with men. Well, turns out that the church's trustees aren't so gung-ho about breaking the law so there has been a swift reverse ferret.
This is surely a situation where thoughts and prayers are greatly needed.

Exactly, on the news yesterday there was a story about the writer Jack Thorne, who is in a wheelchair and he was funding an accessible building and toilets so people with disabilities can go to college and study to be writers, directors etc. He said that when he went to college he would have to drive to a supermarket to use an accessible toilet as there were none available in his college building. That's what inclusion is, providing the most basic facilities for all people to access safely and with dignity to allow them to live their lives. Not indulging in a fetish, a victim complex and some made up oppression. They really are pathetic.
It also struck me how he is working in the 'Arts' and how captured they are in making everything inclusive for trans but they clearly don't give a shit about including people with a disability in their profession, or in society in general.

I’ve not been on this thread in ages, various reasons but just wanted to share. I had asked advice on worries about this toxic ideology infesting my child’s school and received solidarity from you guys. I’ve now noticed that since the obviously trans student teacher (bad wig, giant hands, a foot taller than the females) has left, the sign on the teacher’s toilet saying “toilet for the gender you feel most comfortable with” (wtf does that even mean) has disappeared. My child has a new class teacher and they are now doing loads of Harry Potter stuff, including a whole school show themed on it 
Maybe he’s a TERF, I bloody hope so. But it made me wonder, are they only “allies” to people’s faces? Most of the people involved in the performative nonsense don’t really believe it, they’re just frightened of the repercussions of not going along with it.

Blackpool is one of the most deprived areas in England. There are several neighbourhoods in the area that consistently rank among the Top 10 deprived areas in the country. 40% of kids in the area live in poverty, and the population suffer high rates of serious mental illness, alcohol related deaths and significantly reduced life expectancy.
And this, this is what the local MPs are spending their time on?!? Fuck me. Sometimes I feel like I live on another fucking planet.

A trans couple were scared to leave their house but met him at a book shop!
Russell T Davies: 'I campaigned for gay visibility my whole life - no…
archived 5 Jun 2026 06:59:03 UTCarchive.ph
" Davies points to the online “trans debate” as a specific catalyst for writing this series. “I completely accept that there are two sides,” he says. “But who’s doing any research? Who’s doing any thought? Where’s the nuance in either side of the argument? I’m meeting trans people who live in terror.” He remembers a trans couple who approached him at a book signing and told him they were scared to leave their house. “That’s when I decided I had to go and do something. Specifically trans people, but actually, it’s happening to all of us [the LGBTQ+ community].” "

Also would a biological girl be allowed to dress like that or wear that much makeup at school? I highly doubt it. She'd be punished and her parents would be hearing from the principal about 'standards.'

That report is great. I heard some idiot on PM wanging on about how being prevented from wearing his Palestinian flag pin to work would definitely kill babies, and I was like, mate get a grip. Even if wearing your pin did have those magical powers, which it very much does not, as virtue signalling in a hospital in Bristol has absolutely zero effect on a decades old political war thousands of miles away, just wear when you’re not at work. Its very simple. That way, any Jewish patient you treat doesn’t have even a moments twinge of doubt or a clench of anxiety seeing it. Likewise with your progress lanyard. If you don’t have it, then when I present at hospital, I needn’t worry so much that you’re going to try to put a man in a female ward with me, or tell me that six foot stubble covered dude in a tight skirt is actually a female and will be doing my intimate care. Wear it when you get home. I couldn’t give a shit. Just be professional.
The bougie pet shop in my achingly bougie neighbourhood has gone all in for pride with a great big progress flag and a huge sign saying “EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE”. Bonkers- are you telling me that when a gay or trans person walks in to a non “progressive” pet shop they’re at risk of someone shouting at them “fuck off I’m not selling you any lick-e-lix you degenerate!”, or whispering homophobic slurs when they put your dried pigs ears in their recyclable bags? Don’t be daft. And don’t put pride neckerchiefs on your dogs, they don’t deserve that humiliation.

Yep, drag queens are no more representative of the LGB community than burlesque dancers are representative of women.This is what I find so odd about drag queens being vaunted as evidence of ‘inclusivity’. It’s purely a performance genre
It's really odd.
Oh and libraries: if you want to show the normality of LGB people, you don't need to get drag queens in to read stories to little kids (because on what planet is an adult entertainer an appropriate role model? You don't get strippers in to do it and there'd rightly be a bit of a hoo-hah if you did) Why not invite Billy's two mums to come in and read? Or John the fireman who also happens to be gay? They'd probably do it for free and you can save some of your budget to put on free teas and coffees for lonely older people one day a week. True inclusion is really fucking easy and you don't need a fuckton of glitter to do it.

"Trans people will be left with a choice between researching toilet provision every time we go out". So f*cking tone deaf. What do they think women have been doing for years? What do they think disabled people do?
They really are the most self-centred of blokes.

I know Lush is already on the boycott list, but this is really sick. Looks like it’s targeting kids FFS.

"Everybody is welcome on our buses"
Well, yeah, you're a bus company, you can't go round discriminating against people. Out of interest, how many wheelchairs can be accommodated on your bus at any one time? Pushchairs? How many of your drivers have received dementia training?

I was fairly promiscuous in my youth during the 80’s and 90’s and I wouldn’t necessarily call myself prudish, but I only ever recall one man asking about anal in all those years and he was fine when I said no. None of that other stuff like strangulation either, I think most men were just glad to be getting a shag at all! Porn has ruined men, ruined sex and put the vast majority of women off relationships in general I think.

They have got toilet provision - the toilets appropriate for their SEX, and they have the protection of the law - they can do what women do, and if men assault them, fight back as well as they can and then report the incident to the police - the law protects them from assault by men just as It protects women - by providing redress if they can catch the assailant.
Remind me, "Alexandra" - how many transwomen have been murdered in the gents' toilets? Oh - none. OooooKay . . . How many have been assaulted? Just for going for a wee? No details to hand, eh. Never mind. You can get back to me. Meantime let me know if you need help researching how many women and girls have been murdered, raped, beaten up in the ladies' toilets by men dressed as women. I'm willing to bet that I can find a list of them faster than you can find your list.
If you don't want to share male provision, do what women have had to do - raise a bit of dosh and build your own toilets, rape crisis centres, domestic violence units, "menopause" support groups, "breastfeeding" groups and so on. We did it, and so can you - especially as society is very keen on helping you with funding - get Jolyon to give you some of the cash he raises to fund his

There are seagulls nesting in my street. They bark at male humans (especially bald men) and male cats. They don't bark at any kind of female, unless she is actively being a threat to them or the chicks - usually they will just watch and give the standard parent "don't even think about it" look.
I guess the seagulls must have had an A* in GCSE Biology, a 1st class BSc and a Distinction in their post-grad?

I LOATHE drag and the fact it’s seen as above criticism. It’s womanface, pure and simple and I can’t see any reason why it’s any less offensive than, say, The Black And White Minstrels or It Ain’t Half Hot Mum. Said it before I but I also loathe clowns and I see drag queens in much the same way, grotesque parodies of humans, someone hiding behind a facade. It’s also usually pretty crude in a disparaging way about women.
In this world of inclusivity (allegedly) I find it awful that we’re told what to think, and what to like. That’s not very inclusive is it. Plus, it only seems to take men’s feelings into account.

I agree with all the comments about the normalization of anal for heterosexual couples being the opposite of progressive. I hate that article focusing on warning women of the risks. How about someone hammer it through men's thick skulls that the vast majority of women just don't like it and you shouldn't expect them to just put up with it? Why isn't that enough? Oh right because men can always do whatever the fuck they want.
I don't like Brazilian waxes being expected nowadays either. If you actually prefer it that way, sure, whatever. But the huge increase in popularity is obviously porn related. I hate men whining that it's more hygienic to shave. You first motherfucker, whole body wax, let's go.
