Lives in my area too! Said he was in a gay relationship for several years. As a "woman" will he still seek relationships with men which means he remains a gay man!
Too old and male for pouting :sick:

Oh no! Putting on a pink dress has turned him ‘straight’ and he can now date men whilst keeping his internalised homophobia under a bra and knickers wraps.

It's what it boils down to in this instance. I don't understand how a movement that is riddled with homophobia and misogyny is so defend by people who claim to be anti both of those things.

To be fair the employee should have kept his opinion private, but does this person deserve a large payout for hurt feelings 🤔
It's not the first time "Katie" has tried to sue for hurty feelings, it beats working for a living.

Apparently BAFTA have decided to keep male and female categories for their awards 🙂
Non-binaries are going to be asked to choose which category they are in. Seems fair enough to me but I expect they'll all be complaining soon enough.

BBC article
From the article
Because these genetic variations are so many and so varied, some experts say it’s impossible to establish that everyone with a Y chromosome is a male and everyone without a Y chromosome is a female.

I think that what this tells us is NOT that there is no way to definitively distinguish male and female, as they would like to imply, but rather that there are scientists in every field who are prepared to state any old shyte thing to get a few bob, even if in the nebulous form of the hope of a research grant, and their name in the papers.

Did anyone listen? Strange there’s no mention of this on Xwitter… I just can’t think why not.
Yeah. He mentioned big names wading in but only mentioned Trump... of course us nasty TERFs are all far right Donald loving Tommy Robinson fangirls eh?! It was fairly interesting but didn't tell us anything new. They discussed testosterone levels, DSDs, the history with Semenya, and the views on testing. And he made the point if world athletics can test why can't the IOC. The chaotic IBA press conference really did them no favours, but he did mention the IBA said they were genetically male. Which might be good for some people to hear. One thing he did say was at the start, there were some boos in the arena but as its gone on and with the "war of words" there has been sympathy for Khelif and Lin and there are more cheers now.
If anyone wanted to listen back it's the first topic on the show.

This made me laugh
They are so bleeping *special* aren't they? A couple of years ago I was in Waitrose following chemo. My hair was really short and I'm tall. A member of staff called me sir (it was a lad shelving who didn't properly look at me). I confess I felt a bit bruised but didn't even think about complaining, much less going to the bloody media!

How many women have aggressive, hurtful and demeaning/degrading comments aimed at them on a daily basis from men on building sites or other employ?

Welcome to womanhood, katie but your male privilege is coming through strong.
I'm sure we've all been insulted at some time in our lives and we don't get to go on TV and moan about it. Why are these men given the platform to continually complain? He was only called Sir.

The one complaining against Sainsburys was at least insulted (welcome to the real world) but being called sir in a polite way is hardly the end of the world.

My sister, years ago, was greeted, from a distance, by a passing guy, except he called her my brother's name.
It was dusk, and they were a good bit away from each other. She had very short hair and was probably wearing jeans and an outdoor jacket.
She put on a deep voice and answered with hello, and went on with her day, albeit with a funny story to tell. 😁

Men forget that they either perpetrated or were witness to females being harassed by men in cars (just an example.)
Shouting all kinds of dehumanising tit then calling the woman a slut if she ignores them.
I'd take being 'misgendered' over that sort of treatment any bleeping day.
