  1. No Colinjb. For the sake of argument I was agreeing with you telling me that my definition was simplistic. You're just making yourself look silly now. I'm giving you the opportunity to give me what your definition is seeing as you believe mine is simplistic and you're doing everything you can not to give one. Let's be honest it's because you either don't have a definition of or you know that anyone you do have will make yourself look silly. What's your definition?
  2. You're not refusing to answer but you haven't answered? You've told me what it's not which is that it's not black and white or simplistic but I still haven't had an answer of what it is. Come on Colinjb surely it's not that difficult to provide a definition? What is a woman?
  3. Sounds to me like you're refusing to answer. Can't be that difficult to answer surely? Fair enough it's more complex than my simplistic worldview so what is the definition then? Educate me.
  4. What's the answer then?
  5. What is a woman?
  6. Assume you'll be advocating for an X on passports. Clown world.
  7. Not sure it's true but if it is he could well have been radicalised by online material or from a migrant for all we know so it very much coukd be an imported issue. Not convinced this is correct in this case though like I said. The police wouldn't have a reason to lie about it not being terrorism related because it would just come out if it was and the reaction would be worse.
  8. Incorrect as usual. I was talking about a narrative from different media outlets and separately I was also talking about labour which is relevant because they are the party in power who recently did a big press conference to talk about the far right.
  9. What a shame that someone uses their moment of triumph to try to divide along racial lines. It's such a peculiarly American thing. I don't think you'd see the same from a British athlete.
  10. What is a woman?
  11. Yes. A biological male who describes themselves and is described by others as a girl because outwardly they present as one.
  12. What is a woman?
  13. Yes. They look female but are biologically male. Sorry it upsets you.
  14. Who mentioned gender? Also human beings are not turtles or frogs.
  15. What like Bournemouth? Or Fulham?
  16. Swyer syndrome is when a biological man has a disorder so they present as outwardly female despite being biologically male. If Khalif had this disorder then logically they would be brought up and raised as a female. They're still biologically male though and shouldn't be competing in women's sports.
  17. Because Labour are the ones in power and because they are the ones who made the recent statement. Utterly bizarre that you think failing to mention the tories in every post is disingenuous. They have been shit, everyone knows they have been hsit and it's been pointed out all the time. It's why they were rightly booted out. If it makes you feel better maybe I can copy and paste this reply every time I make a post about Labour so you don't feel it's disingenuous.
  18. No. Biologically you are either male or female. You may have a disorder which means you present differently as in this case but biologically they are still male. Painful for This athlete to hear no doubt but that's the case and is why there has been such outrage.
  19. Sure. What's your point?
  20. Yes the tories were terrible and did nothing. I'm not sure why you were under the impression that I thought differently?
  21. Someone with xy chromosomes is biologically male. It's not trying to be offensive to Khalif it's just a fact. Like I said they may present as a female but they are still biologically male. Fact.
  22. The legitimate concerns of the native population are routinely dismissed by the media and sometimes members of the Labour Party as those held by the far right and hooligans. It's one reason why nothing has been done and immigration continues to rise.
  23. I think it's reasonable to have a problem with some immigrants. I think we should be doing more to make Britain more of a hostile place for illegal immigration. Arguably you could make legal immigration easier and illegal immigration tougher to discourage it. My issue isn't with immigration, it's that we have no control over people coming in and the inherent unfairness of mainly young men coming on boats and effectively jumping the queue.
  24. I agree with your last bit. Regarding your first bit, I think there's a reasonable debate to be had about Islam- though not necessarily relevant to this case. At the very least a significant number of people interpret Islam in a manner which is very difficult to integrate with western liberal society.
  25. No problem. I'd prefer to deal with facts. So called preferred pronouns will often put you in a position where you have to lie by saying something that you know to be untrue. If I decided to put a dress on I shouldn't then expect everyone in society to refer to me as she and a woman just as an anorexic person shouldn't expect everyone to call them fat just because it might affirm the image they have about themselves. If I met someone on a personal level then out of courtesy I may refer to them as he or she depending on the situation but when dealing with important issues like sport it is important to be particularly precise and clear about definitions and muddying the waters doesn't help and ends up with biological men beating up women and calling it sport.
