Strange how some schools/companies/airlines have considered gender neutral uniforms which means trousers for all. So why can't this be extended to short trousers here? Seems like discrimination to me.

Seems like discrimination to me. The headmaster seems bat shit mental on the face of it to me - how have we got to a place that is seen as a viable compromise? Continual mentalness up here: www.thetimes.co.uk/article/b41f87ca-fa46-11ec-9dc9-dea4f592180c?shareToken=5b2631fc3aba7a403379520cdf91a36a&s=04&fbclid=IwAR3MNa_1X0iLG66ndJmUzKLy20_WWrPyUKWct-EsJbYdhhiOQeQGsFRZ6skChildren as young as 11 — including those with learning disabilities — are being bullied in Scottish schools for questioning transgender ideology and failing to use appropriate pronouns, it has been claimed.
Safeguarding Our Schools Scotland (SOSS), a campaign body, said dozens of parents had raised concerns in recent months over pupils being ostracised by their peers and branded “transphobic”......
...Lucie Phillips, from SOSS, said the reports highlighted a worrying trend that the national anti-bullying service, Respect Me, appeared unwilling to confront.....
Phillips was due to raise the issue with a senior official from the service last month but the meeting was cancelled after she provided a briefing outlining her concerns.
Phillips told Lorraine Glass, interim director of RespectMe, which is fully funded by the Scottish government and co-managed by LGBT Youth Scotland: “Our concerns lie with examples of children being bullied when they have chosen not to use preferred pronouns for another child due to not holding a belief in gender identity ideology, or when they have been unable to due to disability.”
Glass responded: “I appreciate you being in touch but I think a meeting would fail to advance the discourse in the direction you desire.”So bullying is orate so long as it is against the perceived bad guys.

I passed what looked like a stag party in suits and sunglasses in Nottingham last Friday and thought it can't be they're too young.

Brings to mind some of the classic characters of the golden age of theatre....Buttons, Widow Twankie,maybe a bit of one of the greats, Biggins in there too. P.S. if he wants to wear a dress, crack on. No issues with that at all....but he's been planning his dress since he was 12 and after 4 fucking years of dreaming about it, longing for it and ruminating on it he chooses that?? What the....

I just don't get why it's a news story. None of that he's doing is particularly newsworthy. He's got his whole school clapping for him, so I wouldn't say particularly brave either lol

The gender pay gap is more about fewer women than men in higher paying positions than equal pay. Not saying that doesn't need addressing, but it is often made to sound like companies are blatantly paying women less than men, which in the main they are not.

A woman who lost her job after saying that people cannot change their biological sex has won an appeal against an employment tribunal. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62061929Ms Forstater welcomed the outcome. She said in a statement: "My case matters for everyone who believes in the importance of truth and free speech. "We are all free to believe whatever we wish. What we are not free to do is compel others to believe the same thing, to silence those who disagree with us or to force others to deny reality." Strong words indeed to the silencers.

It's illegal to pay someone less in a company for doing the same job at the same level.As it says in the article women tend to work part time or are in more junior roles which naturally makes the average pay seem less. The part time workers will be paid the same as the men but take home less due to working less hours. Nothing to see here, move along.

I’ve seen old interviews with Biden from the 80s and earlier. Not that I agreed with a lot of his views, but he was sharp as a tac. Razor fucking sharp. Call me cynical but I don’t fully buy his senile, fragile and clumsy old man act. It’s a real life South Park bit. To what ends he’d portray himself this way I’m not entirely sure. I’ve not watched South Park for a while but wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve made/will make an episode along those lines. “Sleepy Joe” acting a buffoon, but then as soon as he’s in private totally switching on a dime into a maniacal overlord. Maybe even the real Biden chained up in the basement, revealing that “sleepy joe” is just a costume concealing an evil lizard…

Blimey. I passed by there on my recent walking holiday on Islay. Didn’t give it a second thought as it was about a mile down the road from the more famous Lagavulin distillery. Not that I stopped for a tipple mind. I had other plans for that particular day.
