Is the world going mad?

I suspect I'm going to be lambasted by some, but this is absurd isn't it?

I can't get on board with all this 'gender fluidity' nonsense, and therefore this story would normally amuse me, but the fact that people are taking this sort of patent ridiculousness seriously suggests to me that people are losing the plot.

Some people are becoming so achingly right-on that they're endorsing rubbish like this - I genuinely find it head-scratching.

If Billy Vunipola decides that at the next women's rugby world cup he's going to 'identify' as a woman for the duration, would he be allowed to play? And if not, why not?

Can I self-identify as a woman on Monday evening when I go swimming, because there's an absolutely stunning yummy-mummy that goes, and I'd like to see her getting changed? And if not, why not?

Yes, my tongue is firmly wedged in my cheek - but I think it has to be when faced with this sort of total cobblers.

There were two men in in, actually.

A pseudo transvestite. Absolutely ludicrous.

[woofgang]

so is it time to get rid of gender specific awards?

[aelmpvw]

i'm a simple soul, i would have thought that the main criterion for being in the 'list of top women' was to be a woman

[pixie374]

They are sex-specific, woof. Not gender.
And, yes, dd. The idea is for people to be able to self ID.

Yes that makes me angry, an actual women will have lost a place. It is an insult.

Gender Fluidity

Oh , come. come now , Deskdiary
You've got to identify with the times and learn to run with the flow

[LadyCG]

I despair at the way society is heading!

[anneasquith]

I don't see what the problem is, give an award for women to a women. When people decide what sex they wish to be, by all means do it but maybe 27/7. Gender fluid . Omg .

[dannyk13]

Are we heading for the time when man & woman become non-pc terms and everyone is just a person?

Anne, he doesn't even pretend to claim he is a woman. He wears a dress sometimes. Apparently where he works, they pay female executives 30% less than the males. He "declined to answer" whether he got a pay cut on the days he wore a dress.
It is almost funny, if it wasn't real.

[ToraToraTora]

the worlds gone radio on this subject of late. No amount of dressing up and surgery can alter the gender, that is in every cell defined at conception, end of. Stop messing about with it. if a geezer wants to wear a dress he's not a woman he's geezer in a dress.

There was this yesterday, if you missed it

He looks much better as a man, than he does as a woman. However, he isn't a woman and should not be in that list.

[Prudie]

He is basically saying men are still better in business because he can beat a woman to recognition just by dressing up as one and pretending. That's the underlying insult. 'Pips' my ***.

[sp1814]

Good for her.

Pity there are two lists. If there were just one, this ‘issue’ (such that it will is) wouldn’t arise.

[pixie374]

No, but it would be full of men, sp.
Nicci Take- that is the name of the other man on this list.

[Tilly2]

Good for her....who?

He's a 'him', not a 'her'.

[pixie374]

Even he calls himself a male.
