Off The Scale Wokeism From Labour

I must admit I find it impossible to keep up with who is
Heterosexual
Homosexual
Transsexual
Metrosexual
Bisexual
Pansexual
Or anyone who does not identify by their gender
I had always reasoned that your genitalia defined your gender but these days it is too much of a minefield
There are minority groups but then there are even smaller groups generally made up of people or persons who enjoy nothing more than being offended on behalf of some one other than themselves
I no longer know who is him or her or they or them
Is this latest issue a bit off the scale ?

Unfortunately they need to do something to fill up the days because they ain't gonna be governing any time soon.

He is right. Obviously. There isn't really anything to keep up with.
You can only be heterosexual, homosexual, asexual or bisexual... there are only those alternatives with 2 choices.

Genitalia, is usually a good symptom, except with those who are intersex... but not the cause.
Gender is entirely different and changeable.

[pixie374]

Sorry, wrong lol. I don't think anyone over 5 needs it explaining.

[The Builder]

Sticky... I've been giving this some thought.
Perhaps this may help...

Heterosexual:
hetero from the Greek for "another". So it just means sex with someone else other than oneself.
Homosexual:
Sex on your own premises.
Transsexual:
Sex on the train to Vladivostok.
Metrosexual.
Sex on London Transport.
Bisexual.
Sex with two other people at the same time.
Pansexual:
Something unsavoury involving kitchen utensils.

Hope this helps.

I have a simple method I always use, if the person has a Y chromosome, they are a geezer, end of.

[ToraToraTora]

....or if you like, if the person was born with a cervix, they are a woman, end of. never thought I'd be grateful to a Labour MP but hey ho, this madness can forge odd alliances.

Technically... male is of the sex that provides sperm. And female is of the sex that supplies the eggs. Your definition, ttt, is pretty much right- but not 100%.

//I no longer know who is him or her or they or them //

I no longer care what any of them say.

[Mamyalynne]

Ah, those fond memories of my travels to Vladivostok.

[Redhelen72]

I don't care what people identify as, I do find it amusing those that get their knickers in a twist in trying to understand/identify these people.
If they are not hurting you why are you letting it bother you?

[pixie374]

They are sometimes, RH, that's the problem- and often, also, themselves.

[Redhelen72]

Who are they hurting?

[Untitled]

it seems quite obvious to me that transgender men can have a cervix because they are biologically female.

[Untitled]

"I have a simple method I always use, if the person has a Y chromosome, they are a geezer, end of. "

when you meet a new person how do you go about testing their chromosomes? it sounds awfully inconvenient.

[Untitled]

if a person with a cervix undergoes gender reassignment then they are perfectly entitled to be referred to as male. I don't see what the issue is.

[pixie374]

RH and untitled... I think you must have missed all the examples in links given before. I'm sure you can find them if you like.
I, also, don't see why men should be so restricted in presentation, by other men... let them appear how they want to. "That" is harmless.
Taking over women's safe spaces, sports, toilets, prisons, changing rooms, hospital, psychiatric wards.... etc etc. "That" is "not" harmless, and there are infinite examples to show why women fought so hard to be allowed separation.
Trans people are not dangerous to women, but men often are- and "trans" doesn't actually change that.

[pixie374]

14:11. Humans don't need to. We tell by faces and body shape, entirely instinctively and instantly.

[Redhelen72]

I don't agree, there will be an occassional person that is dangerous to others as there is in all walks of life.
I don't care how someone identifies as it has absolutely no impact on me, I don't feel that I have the right to dictate how others live their lives.

[Untitled]

but that's the point... you don't actually decide when you're interacting with someone whether this person is male or female based on their biology because you don't know it... you do it based on external characteristics like face and body shape which can be altered by things like hormone therapy.

[pixie374]

RH, they can live their lives however they like. No need to pretend they are a woman. They have no idea what that really means, try asking one- you get a list of social stereotypes.
Untitled, hardly. Hormones aren't the only difference, and certainly after puberty, rarely cause much change.
