hypochondriac

Why would I lie about my brother in law being at spurs and then make it less impressive by saying he only played in the youth team and ended up in the lower leagues? Seems like a bit of a pointless lie

Women have a right to their own spaces. This should not be violated just because it may make a trans person feel more comfortable or safe. I could make the same argument and say that it makes me feel safer and more comfortable using the ladies changing room and by your logic my right to feel comfortable and safe would trump women's rights to their own spaces. You've admitted it's an issue and whilst not that important to you, it's clearly a really important one to a lot of women. I'd rather listen to them rather than thinking I know better than they do. The issue isn't necessarily the tiny handful of genuine trans people, it's that by blurring the lines and allowing it, you then have men who dress as women as a sexual fetish being allowed to get their kicks by self identifying as women and literally waving their cocks around. Pretending it doesn't happen is a denial of reality. We can't possibly know which men are the ones genuinely suffering from gender disphoria and which are autogynephiles so the safest and easiest thing to do is to remove the risk by preventing them from entering a female space. Not all trans people are perverts and dirty freaks, but by relaxing the rules, you allow perverts and dirty freaks to call themselves trans and then gain a sporting advantage, gain access to women's spaces and potentially put women in danger.

I'd give a plumber's opinion on my pipework more credence than my mate.

I think West ham have to be attractive given they have European football (albeit a second rate competition.) If he doesn't go to them for whatever reason then it's only really Newcastle that he may have some chance of moving to. Any teams below that can't offer European football and other than villa probably have at least a chance of going down again and maybe switching places with us. If I were him I would at least think about giving us a season. If he went up playing attractive football with us he really would cement his status as an sfc legend and that's got to be worth more than a decent season at Fulham. This could all be silly speculation person by the end of the week when he's gone to join Marco Silva but I do think the club certainly aren't acting like he's off soon.

I answered it. They pose a greater threat because statistically men pose a greater threat than women on a whole host of metrics. Even if that weren't the case, many women feel deeply uncomfortable in an intimate setting in the presence of a man for many reasons.

Even Adam Blackmore was suggesting at least the possibility of it on twitter and I'd wager he knows a fair bit more than the average person given that he speaks to jwp regularly. They must surely have had some sort of informal chat that wasn't broadcast? I've been saying he's off for a while but the recent club stuff makes me start leaning towards him staying.

This also seems like a very relevant piece of news that just came out today. Women have the right to single sex spaces.

And my point is that by having ambiguity about who is or is not allowed in women's changing rooms, you end up in unfortunate situations that have been widely reported in the media where bad actors posing as women have upset and distressed women by invading female only spaces. If third or segregated spaces exist for autogynaphiles to change in isolation then I'm fully supportive of that. In the many places where these separate spaces do not exist, they should be barred and left in no doubt that they should not be there.

He's much too short.

Well my brother in law did actually play for spurs (well the youth team anyway) and is an ex professional so I'm inclined to give his opinion a fair bit of credence.

My spurs supporting brother in law reckons he's decent.

I don't think they'd be damned if they don't include him as much. If they know he's off it would make sense to feature him less prominently. It's not like there's a load of fans who don't expect him to be sold.

No idea about all of them but the gents don't. Red Lodge and Shirley don't have cubicles in the ladies no. The point is it's a lot more common than you're making out.

Red Lodge swimming pool, the de vere hotel and Shirley swimming pool to name three. From memory David Lloyd has an open area. Plenty of gyms around Southampton have open changing rooms.

I think he will almost certainly go to the hammers but I do think it's a bit of an own goal from the club to be focusing on him fairly heavily if he ends up going. They must have a pretty good idea of what's going to happen to him. I'm surprised there haven't been some itk leaks. Someone must have spoken to him.

That's the case in loads of gyms and swimming pools. Admittedly I don't know if the ladies is the same as the blokes as I've never identified as one and been in there.

It's a novel concept.

Yep. People will look back at the way this was normalised by some with horror. There's thankfully been a little pushback in the last couple of years but sadly it's too late for the two unfortunates that soggy knows.

My opinion is based on talking to women.

Read my next comment.

I wasn't expressing any disappointment- I didn't expect to hear much of note. I suppose the main positive is he wasn't embarrassing or really cringe. I hope he will be similarly engaging in an unscripted interview. We shall see.

A kidney is removed when it is required due to a physical health condition. Some people have phantom limb syndrome where they believe that one of their arms is not really part of their body. Should we be supporting these individuals to get their arms or legs removed? What's the difference?

Mutilate- "to damage something severely, especially by violently removing a part" You could quibble about the use of violently but it absolutely fits that definition. These people are turned into lifelong patients with open wounds on their bodies and remaining skin that atrophies and starts to smell. It's appaling and many brave detransitioners have spoken out to make people aware of what's actually happening.

I'm not wound up in the slightest, I'm eating a sandwich and browsing on my phone as we speak. Voluntarily having your genitalia removed is quite clearly mutilation. It's the actions of someone who is unwell and they need support and assistance, not unnecessary operations thay turn them into lifelong medical patients with all manner of side effects and complications. Have you seen the specifics of some of these operations? The smell, the open wound that has to be dilated on a daily basis to prevent it from closing up? It's barbaric and doctors who participate in it should be prosecuted in my opinion. It's a relatively recent phenomena that will be looked back on in years to come the way we look at electric shock therapy. Regarding risk, have you ever seen studies on risk differences between men and women regarding sexual assault, violence etc? Is it any wonder that so many men are desperate to go to female jails once prosecuted?

Doesn't really say anything of note in the interview. The only really bit of interest was it sounded like he might expect some trouble from a few wantaway players.
