I was going to add this to the things that annoy you thread, but I thought the spectacular lunacy involved merited it's own thread.
(Just to be clear, haven't got an issue with LGBT people)
It’s not about trans people, it’s about a specific postmodernist ideology that’s come fully formed out of uni departments and well meaning businesses and politicians have backed unthinkingly for a bit of rainbow wash. Unbelievable it’s been the Tories who tried to put this crap into law. Misogynistic nonsense that goes against everything second wave feminists like my mum fought for.

The rest of society is bowing down to a vocal minority. They're doing more harm then good.
Even more bizarre, they have banned urinals in Portland to make toilets more 'inclusive' for trans people.

I asked my wife what the Venus symbol.was and she said " I don't faaaaackin' know."
If you’re anything like me and it sounds like you are) by the time you can grow a full beard it will be grey. That’s how it’s panned out for me and in truth the moustache is still detached from the beard and I’m turning 47 in a couple of months. I’m hoping to live long enough to see them join.Mens Razor Blades. Why only show men shaving their beard. Women can grow them too!
Also, only babies can wear nappies??? I don't think so!
*at 26 I still can't grow a proper beard, so this is actually a sensitive subject and I need a safe space:joyful:

Portland in Dorset? Never heard that before.
Portland, USA.
Urinals banned in Portland municipal building to 'remove arbitrary barriers' in gender-neutral quest
Urinals Banned From Municipal Building in Effort to Go 'Gender-Neutral'
City Of Portland Removing Urinals As Part Of Major Renovation
Banned: Portland will pay nearly $200 million to remove all urinals from municipal building
All 3 major parties seem to be saying the same thing on the matter but I feel the Tories are trying to kick the can a little further down the road without actually committing to anything concrete.

Tories started it all with the GRA reforms. Thought it’d be another gay marriage, easy points. Wasn’t until groups made up of socialist labour activists and female journalists both left and right kicked off that they pushed it into the long grass.
Don’t get me wrong, Corbyn is all in for the woke bollocks, even gave his pronouns at a speech the other day, and Labour now are full of social justice activists pushing this crap and getting members kicked out the party for “transphobia” for not agreeing. Lib Dem’s are worse, taking in Aimee Challenor after she was kicked out and being aggressive on twitter towards women who disagree. Labour at least are mostly silent rather than actively attacking people publicly.
SNP and the Communist Party weirdly have seemingly been the most sensible on this. The Morning Star have actually been excellent and SNP people like Joan McAlpine and others have been vocal as well. Other than your standard social conservatives like Philip Davies but he’s a broken clock.
It’s also why I have some sympathy (not much) for those Muslim parents protesting the No Outsiders program which is full of this crap. It’s a political position and we shouldn’t be teaching it as fact to kids.

Ahhh. Now I know where I’ve seen you before.I have managed at last to grow a full beard.
It's now almost impossible to tell me and my mum apart.
I'm not sure what's going on with the GRA reforms. The public consultation finished what must have been 12 months back and as far as I'm aware the conclusions have yet to be released. I agree that the Tories probably thought it was an easy win until a little bit more thought was given to the subject by others.
Was Aimee kicked out of the Greens? I know they were suspended but I think they left of their own accord and the subsequent inquest was fudged by the party. Why Lib Dems thought getting Aimee on board was a good idea is anyone's guess. I see Aimee is also associated with Stonewall which is taking a mighty kicking at the moment too.
Parents have no rights these days.
My little girl came home upset when she was 9. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to have children when older as she could be gay. She was also worried she might end up being a boy. Once I calmed her down it was because of what was said in class. I don't mind the children being taught on the subject. But at 8 and 9?
I think this is the issue in many cases - gender, race, faith etc. Most people accept diversity and don't have an issue...until these kind of daft protests or cries for change surface. In my workplace, virutally everybody has been treating everybody else as equals for years. People aren't tolerated if they're idiots at their jobs, not because of the big 3 issues. However, since our HR launched a "diversity and inclusion" dept., things are getting more resentful. Balmy ideas being cooked up, and problems are being created where none existed. The do goodrs are doing more harm than good.The rest of society is bowing down to a vocal minority. They're doing more harm then good.

I literally do not know what to say to that...
Eh. My eldest is 9, her uncle is gay, it’s no big deal. My 4 year old the other day was incredulous about “girls marrying girls” and the 9 year old just went “of course they can, why wouldn’t they be able to” and that was that.
Gay and trans people exist and deserve respect and the state should play a part in setting that expectation. However teaching things as fact that aren’t is a line no school should cross. Same as I wouldn’t agree with teaching gay people are born that way because we don’t know they are, we shouldn’t teach you can literally change sex because you can’t.
Gay rights activists in the 80s were smart enough to make it a rights issue not a science issue: it doesn’t matter WHY someone is gay, just that they are and that’s OK and they deserve respect. If you hang it on “oh they’re born that way and can’t help it” then you risk new science disproving that and taking their rights with them.
