I feel sorry for genuine trans people who've been undermined by the cult of self identification.

The self ID cult has driven a culture where simply saying your something means we all have to believe it and at worst act on it. I saw some guy with pink hair on TV saying as he feels like a woman he's uncomfortable in male changing rooms so thinks he should be allowed to roam woman's rooms. I'm not a parent, if I was and you roamed into my daughter's room I'd punch you in the nose.

If you are trans I treat you with respect. But, you also have to treat other people with respect and not flash your dick around in female changing rooms.

It's nice to see the NHS limiting people to wards based on their biological sex.

I feel for the trans people that just want to quietly go through life.

Spot on Vespa.

So will the NHS now go back to referring to pregnant women as 'mothers' and not as
birth giving parent, or some such bollocks? and will the NHS stop asking male patients whether they are pregnant?

Will the media and news broadcasters refer to boys who decide to wear a dress and grow their hair long as boys, which they are, and not as 'she' and 'daughter'?
I wont hold my breath.

And whilst I'm on my soap box, why does every organisation which I have occasion to phone, whether the gas bill or a broken tap, insist on calling me by my forename and not my title, which is 'Mrs''. forenames are for family, work colleagues and friends, not call centre bods who don't know me from Adam.

Yeah it's political correctness gone to hell in a handcart yadda yadda yadda.

I'm asked if I'm pregnant every time I have a scan, saves them printing two forms.

Encouraging signs that we’ve crested the peak of this fucking demented pervert free-for-all.

Hopefully we’ll look back on it in decades to come in the same way we look at other periods of history where collective mentalism reigned for a while before the pendulum swung back towards the sensible centre.

Aye. Always felt it needed five years or so in the open to really expose the lunacy of a deranged movement. Hopefully gender ideology is now in its final throes.

I hope we end up with basic respect for trans people.

My nan filled out one of those diversity hospital forms recently. My grandad accompanied her.
"'What gender are you?' Grandad, what's my gender?"
"Let me put on my glasses, hang on a minute... 'Are you the sex you were assigned at birth?'"
"What's that, love?"
"'AT BIRTH' – They're asking, 'ARE YOU THE SEX YOU WERE ASSIGNED AT BIRTH?!'"

Bless her heart.

The woke mind virus is finally subsiding.
