I know you will cherish it.
NS

I certainly will. In fact I've printed it off and put a hard copy in my wallet so I can look at it in times of doubt and poor reasoning .
Also I have fashioned a stretchy band from the elastic cut from a pair of ladies panties , coloured it green and put it round my wrist so I can enjoy the delicate pain when I snap it against my skin whilst I read the hard copy .

what joy , thanks once again  :)

Aw bless!  All is good with the world.

Thanks for your reply, Walter. My colleague doesn't look masculline, not very tall - not taller than me and I'm 5'7", slim. Voice not particularly deep. She looks a tomboyish sort of young woman, is actually older than she looks. She's nice, gave me lift home tonight as my car is having some work. (Nothing major I'm glad to say, took it in lunch time will collect in morning.)

Hi Robbie

the information about your car is obviously the most important part of your post. ;)

Oh and btw your 'friend' sounds less intimidating than on of mine.

One time when we'd had a few at the bar one of them spun round quickly on their bar stool , dress riding right up to reveal a pair of Jacobs hanging out of a pair of knickers
Not a pretty sight and one I wish I could forget however it seems to be etched into my brain .
Oh we did laugh ! (and so did half the pub)  :o

In general - three excellent articles.

For clarity - by "Madness" do you mean the decision taken or the extraneous conditions which have forced the American Red Cross into having to adopt this process?

From being a confused observer a few years ago, I have to admit my allyship to feminism has been radicalized - this  explains a lot of the why.

Especially this

"The Left has long since abandoned women to prostitution, pornography, and every last fetish that men can create for themselves. Meanwhile, the Right’s opposition to transgender ideology is soft at best, and comes wrapped in a bundle of misogyny." And that bit on the 'Right' includes their issues on reproductive rights.

Er.....
https://babylonbee.com/news/categories/lifestyle
One of the difficulties of the debate is that there are those on the right wing who oppose trans people because they actually believe in the idea of gender but see it as a thing that is melded to sex - so that they think women, the sex, should be sugar and spice and all things pink, and see trans in any sense as transgressive of that. Those second wave feminists who see gender as a construct used to oppress women by the patriarchy are in general what we would describe as left wing and see the idea of transgender as accepting of the idea of woman being defined by pinkosity. That these two different approaches happen to end up in agreement that the mantra that Transwomen are Women is nonsense doesn't mean that they can be seen to be equivalent.

There is a lot of ludicrous stuff done in the name of trans but there is a lot of dangerous stuff to - such as the idea that self ID can allow anyone in the prison population to be a woman, and be in a women's prison.
