    What’s it all about?

    As an increasing number of governing bodies are demonstrating (the latest being rowing), yes you can, where being a male who has gone through puberty provides a clear and significant advantage over a biological woman, no matter how many female hormones he has taken to transition. And i am glad...

    What’s it all about?

    .. hence the reason why many employers and operators of publicly-accessible facilities have invested hugely in the provision of gender-neutral toilets and changing facilities. We maybe sniggered and tutted at their introduction, but it is the only solution that safeguards EVERY person's privacy...

    ... or, sadly, far too often even when he is no longer a stranger to her.

    What’s it all about?

    I absolutely agree with you Shmmeee (and i didn't see you make any argument against transitioning), but the reason why Sharron Davies, J K Rowling and others have got themselves into conflict with the trans community is because they said out loud that there should be safe spaces where biological...

    BBC over-egging it again ... "It is the first time in Germany's history they have failed to reach the knockout stages" This is only the ninth staging of the competition - get a grip!

    What’s it all about?

    "Safe spaces" for cis women (aka "women") are absolutely critical, and having a trans woman as a brownie leader is just wrong. Where do we stand on trans women in sport? I'm anti, and glad that many of the governing bodies appear to be "growing a pair" and standing up to the pressure for...

    What’s it all about?

    This kid of our friends i was talking about earlier had real MH issues because they were confused and felt that they were the wrong gender. Medication, self-harm, all sorts (which i never knew at the time). MUCH happier now. And able to get into a football team at Uni! I wonder how many of the...

    What’s it all about?

    I agree with a lot of what you say here, Otis. The bit about needing to be an adult and legally free to make your own decisions is especially important. We all know how fickle, faddy and easily influenced children are, so while it would be good to educate year 7+ (secondary school) pupils about...

    Women's World Cup 2023

    Viet Nam are clearly not a footballing superpower, but Netherlands beat them 7-0. Irrespective of the quality of the opposition, their player Brugts scored two sensational curlers from beyond the angle of the penalty area. They look good

    What’s it all about?

    Everyone has a right to live how they want, of course, but if only 0.5% of the population are trans, there is an AWFUL lot of time, bandwidth and column-inches (oo-err missus) devoted to people talking about the subject.

    Things that annoy you

    That can work, but in most cases it is the responsibility of the landowner. Round here, Highways will write to the landowner and tell them to cut it back. If they get no response, they do the work and send the bill to the person responsible.

    Things that annoy you

    Agreed! It's shite. And when you go in there, the shelves have been stripped bare. I literally have no choice in senior cat dry food. And they are more expensive than all the supermarkets ... and even my village shop for Felix sachets!. I've given up with them

    Women's World Cup 2023

    I hope that China beat Haiti later today so that England will have to at least draw the last match against them, or Wiegman will rest loads of the first choice team and it will be even more unbearable than today!
