The General Medical Council Is All Confusion
'The General Medical Council, that august body which regulates and disciplines the medical profession, has removed the term “mother” and references to women from its staff maternity policy', writes straight-speaking Ann Widdecombe. 'Well', she says, 'if the GMC doesn’t understand biology then who does? Let me help the poor confused souls by explaining it to them.'
Ann thought doctors were supposed to know what a woman is, and so she does explain it to them. Well said that 'woman' - and for now I use the word advisedly.

What can be done to halt this ridiculous march of fantasy once and for all? A start, I think, would be to stop the demand to refer to men who claim to be women as 'she' or 'her'. The media encourages this farce and even refers to convicted 'trans' rapists as 'she' or 'her', presumably as a token of respect - but what's to respect - and what happened to respect for real women?

the article doesnt quite make it clear - perhaps they are removing "mother" from their staff maternity policy because men can now take paternity leave proportionate to maternity leave (ie if the mother goes back to work, the dad can take the leave entitlement instead)? it would be helpful to know a bit more about what she's talking about
But isn't AnswerBank perpetuating this 'ridiculous March of fantasy' as you describe it, by insisting we refer to certain members as 'them/they'? You as a mod seem to have a responsibility to uphold and even enforce this 'policy'.
Do you not see an element of hippocrasy in your calling for the 'March of fantasy' to halt, yet, due to your status as Moderator, having to abide by an example of that very 'March' on here?
Zacs Master, the editors are well aware of my views on the subject. In the one instance of a complaint of this nature I've encountered here I suggested the 'culprit' in future refer to the complainant by their username - which is what I do. No rules broken that way.
Shame you aren't aware of what the unnamed mods write or do. If you were you'd be able to harangue them at every opportunity.

It used to be you haranguing the mod you did know was a mod at every opportunity, whilst having no idea what unnamed mods were doing. And him constantly telling you so, and you constantly going back to him for 150 posts

Where are we when even physicians seem unsure of what is obvious to any sensible person? You think it's bad over there, come over this side of the pond if you want to see total craziness! Eg we have parents paying doctors thousands to chemically castrate their kids! The world has gone mad.
