Would I be right in saying that this gender ruling seems to be the first sensible judgement this year? If so, one can only hope it doesn't take as long until the next bit of common sense kicks in. Although, as things stand, it could well be that tiny shred of hope which kills you.

Incredibly, there are some actual news stories out there today, but they aren’t getting any coverage… 🤪 Also, someone suggested yesterday that Neufville had signed a new contract - was this true, or just a wicked rumour…?

An4E is Tessa Testicle and I claim my five pounds.

Sandy - come on in, the water's lovely… 🤪😂

I think you’ve pulled, Spit… 🐴🤪

CW - not nearly as many, just ask any woman… 😬

I was attacked by a female fan at old plough lane and service station on the way to an away game in late 80s,all because one of my mates did a horse neighing noise and I got the blame both times. Some fans knew her as Shergar back in the day.

What a weird conversation 😀

Predatory women exist too in case you had forgotten

All I can say is, thank fuck a4e isn't 6'3 with a beard. 🧔 🤣

Aren't 6ft3 bearded ladies a myth from the Victorian freak shows of the past?

Also REPD - there are dozens of places that have “all gender” toilets, museums and galleries, shops and restaurants, airports and train stations…. The real danger isn’t trans people, it’s predatory men, but the people whooping about this ruling appear not to be concerned about that… 🤷🏻‍♂️

REPD - I’m just interested to hear what those celebrating the ruling are thinking they have “won” when it seems to me that there’s a possibility they’ve actually inadvertently given a green light to something that they say they’re really worried about… Nobody seems to be able to explain it… 🤷🏻‍♂️

LAX does have "all gender" toilets in their newer terminals alongside mens, womens and disabled.

Why are so many people in the UK obsessed with toilets?

I'm the sort of extreme right-winger who sticks up for family farmers.

All this talk reminds me of this song [Link]

I feel reassured by today's judgement, but what do I know?

A4E seems to be mentioning 6ft3 bearded men (or women) a lot right now...

spartan - glad you agree with me, but how are women to distinguish between a 6’ 3” bearded outwardly apparently male but in fact biological woman going into the women’s changing room, and an actual 6’ 3” bearded man going into the women’s changing room in order to gain access to women/girls…? If challenged, that male can just say “Don’t worry, I’m a biological woman”, and then everyone is expected to accept that he’s telling the truth, yes? It seems to me that the real problem is predatory men taking advantage of this ruling… 🤔

DO - you are just being silly now ;-).

Spart - Maybe disabled toilets can be changed to 'Trans & Disabled toilets'?

Quentin Crisp summed it up very well: In an interview with CBC in 1977, upon being queried about whether he desired to be a woman, Crisp stated: "Well, I suppose when I was a child, when I lived almost entirely in a dreamworld, I suppose I thought of myself as a woman. But, later on, you realise that you have to live in the real world, and that you are not a woman. You are only in some senses 'effeminate,' or 'feminine,' and you must learn to make this compromise - to live in a world where, statistically, you are a man, whatever you may think about yourself."

I have no objections whatsoever to men dressing up as women (Danny LaRue, Dick Emery) or vice versa (Mulan, Bob in Blackadder).

Maybe we should have male and female toilets (like we already have, ffs) plus a third toilet facility for other/I can't make up my mind what the fuck I am.
