Stuff like this makes me feel ill. It’s like the entirely of public life, all public spaces have now been captured by this ducked up ideology and its weird flag.

Because like you say, since when has Borough Market been anything but an overcrowded, bougie food market beloved of middle class (mostly white) people and tourists? It’s such a meaningless statement to make. Tedious virtue signalling.
Yes exactly. It's just full of over priced cheese 😄 so I left quickly

I saw a fb post today by my local hospital saying, ‘pregnant woman/pregnant person’ 🤦🏻‍♀️ A very provincial town where everyone works in the same three places and knows everyone as there are barely any secondary schools. As if we need ‘pregnant person’ on a poster. The only ‘person’ who will be pregnant is a bleeping woman! Sorry if you don’t call yourself one, Mx blue hair and dungies but you are one.

The chances of developing prostate cancer increase as you get older. Most cases develop in men aged 50 or older.


  • Anyone with ovaries can get ovarian cancer, but it mostly affects those over 50.
Spot the difference

I emailed the NHS well over 6 months ago about the disparity in language between Male health issues and Female health issues and the repsonse I got was that it was a work in progress and that all pages would be updated with more 'inclusive' language, Clearly that was balls;)
It’s worrying because there are already a large amount of people (men and women) who don’t know things such as the correct terminology for various body parts, the process of human conception including menstrual stages and how these relate to the body. We desperately need more, better education over these matters before wasting time and money complicating issues to try and appease the minority.

When I had midwives appointments last year the waiting rooms were full of all these woke posters and terms. The midwives however were extremely pro women which was refreshing. Seems like all these posters are just there on the off chance there’s an inspection and they get into trouble for not displaying it.

I went for a breast screening last year and there was a board up in the waiting room listing the consultants and their pronouns. One went by Xe/Xer or something to that effect.

It’s already a scary experience without adding on the stress of making sure you get the doctors pronouns right and it shouldn’t even be something that a patient in that situation has to worry about. Personally (I’m sure they’ll be some that disagree and that’s fine) I think the only consultants that conduct those sort of screenings should be biological women anyway.

On the other hand transgender men, men who cross-dress and anyone with a known history of male violence against women or children will not be eligible to rent a property.

This is the most stupid bleeping thing I’ve ever read
So a biological woman who identifies as a man, yet still has female parts isn’t allowed but a man who SAYS he’s a woman is?

Don’t worry I’m sure any dirty piece of work who has committed male violence but now identifies as Paula and not Percy will escape their convictions being found with a DBS check on their new identity. I can’t stand the lot of them

Have they confirmed? I've come across confused official literature before where they've written 'trans men', thinking it means men who are trans ie trans women.

This is exactly what enraged me! I had a good look at both and just subtly, the bloody womens pages remove the word woman whenever it can. For a lot of people, ‘people with ovaries’ will pass them by as relevant medical information because it doesn’t say the word WOMAN. Absolute madness. I was talking to my daughter, she’s 3, about girls and boys and she correctly said I don’t have a pen because I’m a girl. And then I thought ‘someone at school one day will call her a bigot because I’ve taught her biology!’

on reddit there was a discussion about (some) transwomen taking over/erasing women and their spaces. I replied to it and said "men are more dominant naturally and that trait doesn't go away when a man transitions."
I got banned for a week for "attacking" a "marginalized" group???? Are they taking the piss????? Reddit is full on censorship, my god. Imagine not even being allowed to say that.
You can’t ever say that a trans person is male or female. You have to pretend they are who they identify as. That’s real self hatred to me

I follow a lot of child development influencers on insta, a lot of the focus is on early years. Thankfully I haven’t come across any that go anywhere near gender but there is a lot of talk about identity and self expression esp at toddler age. It just hit me there how limiting all this focus on gender is and how it’s based on absolutely nothing. This balls of your true self ‘within’, well what is that? Toddlers are inquisitive, emotional, irrational, curious, playful. As they grow they have interests and passions. How is obsessing about your gender and what pronoun someone calls you an interest or a passion? There’s a whole world out there with loads of amazing things to be fascinated and obsessed by. But liking nail polish and long hair if you’re a boy and feeling a bit different because of it does not mean you’re a girl but what else are you into? Maybe it’s dancing, gymnastics, dare I say even football. Because girls can like football don’t you know? I’m rambling again but I’m trying to get to my point, that we seem to have lost interests and hobbies and our own personalities and it’s being replaced with gender identity which is so regressive I don’t understand how no one can see it.

Sydney Watson discusses an episode of Dr Phil she took part in a while ago but has only just aired.
According to the loon brigade, if you're a woman who cannot have children, it's your gender identity. One of them actually said this to a woman who told the rest of the panel she can't have children.
The nerve of the woman (who identifies as a 'nb birther' and apparently didn't give birth as a woman. However that works) to say this to another woman. :mad:

Just to clarify I don’t believe you can change sex, by genuine trans I was mainly meaning the trans people who fully transition quietly (mainly the older generation who decided to do this before it was a popular trendy thing) and don’t publicly try to antagonise women or insist everyone use pronouns.

IMO a lot of the trans people seen on social media aren’t completely dedicated (for want of a better word!) and have just jumped on a bandwagon and in 5 years will probably have reverted back to their original name and gender once the fad wears off. These are the ones crying the loudest and causing more negative feelings to the group as a whole.
I know what you mean.

I havea couple of MtF friends, and there are definitely two distinct groups. the group You’re talking about are what I call “old school” or “homosexual Transexuals”. The biggest difference is they’re not sexually interested in women. But there are a lot of smaller differences. The names for example. One of my friends now uses the shortened version of their birth name - which everyone already called them by - and changed one letter, which doesn’t effect pronunciation, but written down is the feminine version. I’ve noticed this a lot, where their name doesn’t have a feminine version, they’ll still go for the same initial, length at least, say Matthew - Michelle. Whereas the AGP fetishists will go from Andrew to Princess Lillianna Juliette Aphrodite.

The old school types tend to dress in line with what a regular woman their age would wear, and with Things like breasts, try to achieve regular sizes rather than pornified H cups.

I’ve also noticed these types (the ones I know anyway) have been raised more by women and have an absence of male role models growing up and the AGPs I know have been influenced by misogynistic abusive men growing up.

They also have actively avoided starting a family due to their identity issues, whereas the AGPs force their family to shoulder responsibility for their identity issues.

Was shocked to read of Dwayne Wade being booed and heckled for letting their 12 year old son transition into a girl. If there is backlash in even super liberal NYC, could the tide at last be turning?

While I don't want to see anyone being abused, I can only hope more people are going to get less afraid to use their voice. I cannot fathom how so many of us have been manipulated into being terrified to say what we fear.

I just find it so weird how this has happened or why anyone, even one person, would be that obsessed with the issue of pronouns. It creeps me the duck out. I will never list mine, it's obvious that I am a biological woman. This is an incredibly creepy and dystopian nightmare from where I sit.

Just looked at who is standing in my area and I'll be voting conservative. The independent used to be UKIP and stuck with them until the end so he's out. In all fairness the locals should be about your local area and as all the councillors live in the area they tend to be pretty good regardless of political affiliation. No canvassers yet round my way.

I feel I've got no party to vote for, especially as I am one of those horrible people that doesn't have photo ID (for a variety of boring reasons but mainly due to mental health issues) so I've been banned anyway.

I just feel like none of the people in government represent me, that they are too extreme in either direction. It's depressing beyond belief.
