TriBsa Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) The government has said the term “pregnant woman” should not be used in a UN treaty because it “excludes” transgender people. Feminists reacted with outrage to what they said was the latest example of “making women unmentionable” in the name of transgender equality. The statement comes in Britain’s official submission on proposed amendments to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which the UK has been a signatory since 1976. The UN treaty says a “pregnant woman” must be protected, including not being subject to the death penalty. Yet in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office submission, Britain opposes the term “pregnant woman” because it may “exclude transgender people who have given birth”. The suggested term is “pregnant people”. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/its-not-women-who-get-pregnant-its-people-w3mmzbgwh No it's not April the 1st. This is PC nonsense gone mad. The Conservative Government should change it's name. If it wasn't our government, but somebody else's, it might be funny in a Monty Python Life of Brian type way.

TriBsa Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I can see that in discrimination Top Trumps, trans issues outscore feminist issues. And that's where Political Correctness falls on it's ar*e. You can't keep everyone happy. In the past it was thought right and proper to keep the majority happy and that seemed to work. Whatever you did behind closed doors was up to you in the main. Now deviancy from the norm has to be celebrated because it is supposedly special.

Newbie to this Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 How the can someone who has had their tackle repurposed get pregnant? I think they mean a 'person' born a woman, who inside feels they are man but hasn't had an operation ie everything still works, getting pregnant. Not like Stan I mean Loretta :lol: who wanted to have babies, but through NO fault of anyone NOT even the Romans, Can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedsanity Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 I really don't get the whole transgender mob, I'm happy for people to be or do whatever they want so long as I'm not footing the bill but they all claim want to be a different sex to feel like they fit in or belong then all they do is shout look at me I'm different and special and deserve special treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 The one thing I want to know in all this transgender thing has it been decided if they can change their birth certificates yet? if so can I change year I was born so I can start getting my pension?

Thunderbird Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Yes the "Q" is now added to represent the "questioning" or undecided! I thought would be that, or the other word beginning with Q Apparently on university campuses nowadays it's a minefield, with people 'choosing to identify' as this, or that, and a whole stack of new vocabulary to go with it.

It's not new, I've worked for major uni's for 20 odd years, it's common. Young people are exploring things more openly now as it's more accepted to do so (obviously this isn't mirrored by the social steering group of PW). The percentile of people per population with trans/gay/lez/unsure is minuscule, trust me, it's costing us nothing in comparison with the brutal raping of the NHS daily. The one thing I want to know in all this transgender thing has it been decided if they can change their birth certificates yet? if so can I change year I was born so I can start getting my pension? No, they can't. Edited October 24, 2017 by kyska Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHS is a collective, there are decades of evidence of gender dysmorphia. 'The Mob' cost you very little, really like 1p in your life as the surgery is so rare per person. The NHS is here for all of us, regardless of what you think. Edited October 24, 2017 by kyska Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universities are a perfect medium for this, the chance to be yourself, leaving home, leaving parents, leaving constraints. Many revert back to 'normal type' but have explored, how healthy is that? And your comment 'bent as' is tripe, the 'bent ones' don't harm you, your family, your job, they just annoy you because you're a bigot?

Fyi- bent as a nine bob note is an old school phrase I use a lot to describe many things. Timber from my builders merchants, edging blocks my Labourer had laid, fencing a rival company has erected, but more importantly it was my dear late nans favourite saying, there for I find your use of the word 'bigot' disrespectful and cheap.

What did you mean by it then? In context to your previous post. What does your description mean, we ALL know what you mean because it's a known saying, not just your dear nans, and you know it.
