hypochondriac

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.

When was she not a parody? She's largely a media invention.

I'd like to have a choice at an election though. Two parties who are mostly similar with a few differences around the culture war isn't going to be inspiring anyone.

These people aren't conservatives. They can just fuck off. Call an election and get booted out so everyone can move on.

Little Owen Jones is someone I disagree with on almost everything. I may catch something he says on social media but what I don't do is obsessively follow to see what he's up to. He's a berk and I have no interest in what he says or does. This following someone like Tommy Robinson around is deeply odd. Why are you spending your free time following someone you hate so closely? Why does he consume so much of your time and your thoughts? I suppose you are retired so I guess you have the time to waste.

Rape apologist and belt buckles.

Get rid in Jan and move on please.

There's a cognitive dissonance for the other side too which is why they call her a coconut or not of her ethnicity because she doesbt act the right way. Not that she's right but it's just as bad to expect a minority ethnicity to act as a group rather than an individual.
