Are anorexics mentally ill?

My sister worked for the club many years ago. Maya hit on her apparently but she wasn't interested. Apparently he was a really nice bloke unlike Charlie Austin who was a complete prick (no surprise there.)

Hold on. Since when did non binary mean not conforming to gender stereotypes? You can be a man and do what the heck you like. You can prefer ballet to football, like pink or wear high heels but you're still a man. If you looking at the staggering levels of mental illness and high suicidality in trans people then unfortunately the well adjusted ones you know are not typical of the average trans individual. There's also a marked difference between authentic transexuals and so called trans tenders who make very little or no effort but demand to be called women and enter female spaces because they have autogynaphilia and it's a sexual fetish.

They're asking me to be complicit in a lie and to continue with that deceit which in many cases can be detrimental to their mental health. 2+2 does not equal 5 and someone born with a penis is not a she.

No one has ever argued that people can't call themselves whatever they want.

You misunderstand. You can call yourself anything you like. It's forcing others to call you whatever you like that's the issue.

It was reclassified in 2019 after massive political pressure from lobby groups. The fact it impacts upon and is a mental health condition is undeniable no matter what the WHO want to claim.

Many transexuals consider it to be a mental illness that they suffer from. I agree with them because it quite clearly is.

By that logic, you'd play along with an anorexic's delusion that they are overweight because you'd respect them enough to go along with how they see themselves. Or you'd agree that someone with phantom limb syndrome should be able to cut off their legs. Having made up gender terms is a sign of underlying mental illness and what you don't do is play along with that if you have care and respect for that person. This is particularly true if it infringes on women's rights.

What about "xe" and "xir"?

It's bollocks mate. There's one definition and the fact that Labour can't articulate that makes them look ridiculous to the average voter. They are lucky that the Tories are so awful but this sort of thing certainly doesn't help them.

What the other definition of woman?

Anyone who considers themselves a they and non binary is clearly having mental health problems. If someone were anorexic, how we would treat them is most likely to give them therapy and over a period of time help them to accept themselves for who they are and learn how to live without the desire to starve themselves. We certainly wouldn't play along with their delusion and tell them how fat they were. It's infinitely kinder to understand that these people need compassion but they also need to learn to accept themselves for the man or woman that they are and not ask the world to change entirely to fit themselves into a made up category that they decided to invent five minutes ago.

None of what you said changes the only definition of what a woman is.

Or we just say she because she's a girl and we shouldn't play along with someones fantasy or mental health issues.

Sounds like jess Philips could be out tonight. Great news.

He was appaling. No one has done more to damage the country.

Transphobic is an invented term.

In all sorts of ways. The effect he had on the country is still being felt now.

It's a minefield of their own making. They certainly don't want to get into the mess that the SNP have over it. How hard is it to say that a woman is an adult female human but that in rare cases gender disphoria is a thing and they should be treated respectfully even though for legal purposes they cannot be female. Not difficult.

Blair is the worst PM we've had in my lifetime by quite a way.

Don't think she qualifies.

On another note who will be the worst prime minister without a mandate? Sunak or Brown?

The Rwanda plan was complete and utter bullshit from the start but it is a bit ridiculous that people can just get in a boat and land here from anywhere and we can't get rid of them and just have to let them live here when they could be anyone. I don't think it's as big a crisis as some in the media make it out to be but that fundamental unfairness is something that I think does resonate with a lot of brits.

And to think some well known posters on here were routinely singing his praises. No wonder there's been some question marks about their own views on Jews given who they've historically supported.
