Single-sex schools will be able to reject transgender pupils and teachers can refuse to call children by their preferred pronouns under new Government guidelines

"You’re all heart."

Aww, thank you! I know :)

[naomi24]

You do know… but you’ve forgotten, so do I.

[ClareTG0ld]

// I can tell you I certainly do not care to watch them and even less do I feel the need to. I don't care what other people call themselves or see themselves as, but don't expect me to go along with it.//

I confess, I don't understand why anyone would be proud not to watch something, or proud to be completely lacking in empathy, about things outside their own experience.

Naomi is typical of the old fart attitudes which are killing this site. Ignorance in the face of evidence is bigotry, pure and simple.

[naomi24]

ClareTG0ld, I saw no mention of pride in lankeela’s post. Where did you get that from?

"you are only capable of playing the man rather than the ball"

pot kettle and black spring to mind!

if your attitudes here are at all representative of what you actually think of trans people then i don't need to know more... i sincerely hope that no trans person has ever or will ever turn to you for support because they won't find any.

[naomi24]

Untitled, you’re repeating yourself - and it’s still nonsense.

[Zacs-Master]

Makes sense to me. You're being called out as a bigot. You're not far from AOG's take in life, god rest his soul.

[lankeela]

How on earth could you know what is outside of my experience? Its the vegans all over again isn't it - how do you know someone is a vegan? They tell you.

[naomi24]

They don’t know, lankeela. They just think they do.

[ClareTG0ld]

Well, lankeela, are you trans? Is any of your family trans? Do you have trans friends or colleagues? Do you regularly talk with them about their experiences? Do you often show empathy towards those in positions you've never personally been in? Or do you, well, you know ... dismiss them out of hand, show no empathy, no listening skills, no interest in reading more around the subject? (exhibit A: https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/ChatterBank/Question1834461.html )

[ClareTG0ld]

I'm curious what support you think you'd have to offer, Naomi, to a person whose experience, or conception of themselves, you continually invalidate, and only frame in a negative light in terms of the danger they apparently pose, or discomfort they apparently cause, to others.

[lankeela]

The difference between me and you is it would not matter to me so I wouldn't even ask the question. But did you scroll down to the post where I said anyone could knock on my door at any time of day if they needed help?

[ClareTG0ld]

I did. But I find it risible that you think such support is worth much if it's coming from someone who would regard you as a "[p]athetic" person "who ha[s] no self respect" for needing such help in the first place.

[naomi24]

Such nastiness here and all aimed at those who value truth. Funny old world.

[lankeela]

Well I wouldn't beat the crap out of them so they are winning already.

[gulliver1]

I think Naomi has met her match on this thread, and should start removing some answers or even closing this thread down.

[ToraToraTora]

18:54: "Such nastiness here and all aimed at those who value truth. Funny old world." - welcome to the new fascism naomi, you dare to not adhere to the proscribed view.

[gulliver1]

Here comes the president of the supporters club.

and Vlad the Flab Lad Lenin to bolster the communists.
