doug, did you know that there are 10 kinds of people in the world? Those that understand binary and those that don't!

//There's a lot of fear behind all this bluster.//
Very true, mamya- and quite fairly. 98.5 % of violent crime is by men and 90% of sexual crime. And mostly against women.
The stats don't change with transgender or transexual either... they remain the same as other men.
Maybe, AB ladies will agree or disagree... but if you were in a communal swimming changing room and a man walked in.... would you feel just as comfortable? if you were ever alone late at night, heard footsteps behind you, turned round and realised they were women... would you feel some relief? And so on....
Yes, fear is a common and fair response.

Nobody... is a freak.

Lordy.....
Christian Charity has certainly changed its' meaning.

[Theland]

Pixie/Jack eh what?

[jackthehat]

I think you know what.

[ummmm]

Cobblers? That's our local football team :-)

[Mozz71]

I see the question is being asked but constantly swerved. Tora, why does somebody you've never met identifying as a diferent gender to their birth "sex" concern you so much? Why is it an issue, and why do you continue to dismiss their preferences?

Same question to Theland, Naomi or anyone else who is moaning about this person.

[Mozz71]

Ummmm Northampton Town?

[ummmm]

Yeah. I used to work at the old football ground when they shared it with the cricket. Then they built a new one on a cesspit :-)

Theland. That is a horrible thing to say, you should be ashamed. It's people like you who make me very grateful for the upbringing I had. Very non judgemental....by both my grand parents and my parents. That doesn't make us yogurt munchers, liberal, anti British. It makes us human and caring of our fellow humans.

I voted leave and I vote Tory....just in case TTT jumps to conclusions.

[pixie374]

Mozz... I tried to explain that in the thread. Preferences are one thing.... but when taken literally, they do affect others, and I have given a handful of examples.

[Theland]

When word gets around, we will have offered a cushy number to anybody who wants three squares a day and a home courtesy of you kind taxpayers.
So no. Not a horrible thing to say.
What next?
Bestiality?
'' I can't help the way I feel so !et me stay.''

[jackthehat]

It was the old 'land-fill' site, ummmm.
Although given the shenanigins that have gone on at Sixfields since, perhaps cesspit is not so far off the mark. :o)

[Jackdaw33]

So a transwoman is a man and a transman is a woman. Very clear and concise. The gay slang of Polari recognised two genders: omis and palones. A gay man was an omi-palone.

[jackthehat]

Theland - Bestiality is illegal.....but please don't let that stop you displaying your (un)Christian prejudices.

[ummmm]

Land fill, cesspit, it's all rotten.

Theland...your comparisons are laughable.
