This is the year of JK Rowling’s triumph and it is such a joy to watch

In refusing to kowtow to the trans lobby, the author has made it OK, and less dangerous, to say true things of vital importance

Thank you I know someone had the ways and mean forth to do it.

My pronouns are HRH

 

[Padparadascha]

I think our workplace is safe from mandatory pronouns given I once heard our CEO refer to trans as "that rit"

But if we were ever forced, I'd be the first into HR to tell them I'm still figuring out my gender and would prefer not to be outed before im ready tyvm.

My work is quite captured but has never enforced email pronouns and they seem to have eased up on the trans-specific DEI stuff over the last year or so (public sector).

We used to have all sorts of internal intranet posts about LGBT+ stuff, the post on pansexual awareness day (or some such rit) was a married heterosexual mother who has never been in a relationship with anyone but a heterosexual man talking about accepting herself as pansexual .

My workplace has put on an event for 'transgender day of visibility'. I have no idea how many people have attended. Luckily I'm working from home today

Happy Trans Day of Visibility everyone! Not to be confused with Trans Pride or Trans Day of Remembrance.

How heart-warming that trans people around the world have this one day to be seen and have their voices heard before disappearing back into the shadows for 364 days.

As if those AGPs we keep being shown aren't visible. They hardly blend in, do they.

Are you trying to suggest that 6ft 2 men in leopard print wrap dresses and fishnets with size 13 feet and hands like shovels stand out from the crowd? Transphobe!

 

[Mismatched Pegs]

Anyone know when Trans Invisibility and not Forcing This rit on Everyone Day is? It doesn't appear to be on my ED & I Calendar

Doing femininity better than us. They know what it means to be a woman. It's about pretty dresses, showing off stocking tops and hair bows.

Oh for duck'S SAKE.

I didn't believe this when I first saw it, but it seems it's true. Telegraph did a FoI request.

For the sake of ABSOLUTE duck. What is it going to take for people to realise this whole thing is pants on head insane?

Toddler accused of being transphobic or homophobic was suspended from nursery

Data from the Department for Education reveals the child was suspended for ‘abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity’

What the hell constitutes transphobic behaviour from a toddler?! And what grown up is getting offended by what a toddler says?!

A trans bleep is getting offended by what a toddler says ( IF it happened at all, in the first place.......)

 

[ShopTilYouSlop]

What on earth is going on in a nursery that means transgenderism is even coming up at all?

I really hope this has somehow been misreported. Like I said, I assumed it was made up at first.

 

[Salted Caramel]

Saw this, too funny not to share.

 

[Metropolis]

“Never seen or heard.”

 

[Not Now Bernard]

“Never seen or heard.”

poor old Johnathon - life would have been so much easier if he’d just accepted he was a gay man.

 

[Rabbitweed]

“Never seen or heard.”

What a load of tit. Zero repercussions for 'trashing' them?! Really? I bet the Darlington nurses, Sandie Peggy et Al would beg to differ (although they did not even 'trash' a trans man). Also, same population as the Jewish community you say? Sailing dangerously close to the wind, aligning yourself with a religious community who were genuinely persecuted and killed, fella.
