    It’s all gone very very silly and unnecessary now. Six months ago , I doubt any child had considered being a “ they” , and were not identifying as cats and dinosaurs. No parent had gone into a school demanding that teachers recognise their child as the chosen animal , as I saw reported the other day . One school , on the form for the intake of 11 year olds, asks for the child to indicate which of 42 ( FORTY TWO! ) pronouns they would be known by , including things like “Zie” (?) .
    It’s incredible how these ideas created by a few unknown people seem to have quickly become virtually unwritten rule and regulation.
    As far as all the “ animals and creatures “ now attending some schools , I wonder if it’s the kids who are demonstrating some intelligence and are just taking the p*ss out of the daft adults and teachers who are jumping on this bandwagon

    The cost of everything is frightening. I paid 1K for gas bill the last quarter. It was over the winter period though.

    Do primary schools give young lasses screaming lessons?. Its ridiculous the noise that comes out of them. I am 65 now but cant remember them screaming as much when I was young. My own daughter would have got wrong for screaming like they do now. Rant over.

    **** sake, the world has gone completely bonkers.

    I'm all for people identifying as what they want to be, wether its a bloke wanting to identify as a woman or a woman wanting to identify as a ferris wheel etc...but genetics is genetics despite what absolutely anyone says. Things like this need to have 3 categories now...

    1. female
    2. male
    3. gender inclusive

    If you have / had a penis you're male, if you have / had a vagina you're female. So contestants can either enter the specific category for the actual true gender or the gender inclusive one.

    It's simple enough and would stop the obvious physical advantages for certain competitions etc. Doesn't necessarily apply to something like Miss Netherlands but I bet some of the actual females are proper pissed off.

    Anyway, random rant over as I'm off to the trials for the Sunderland Women's team...

    The 'winner' looks . . . . well, like that, and the 'runner-up' is beautiful, and this was a beauty competition :emoticon-0112-wonde

    It's not a 'fix' though, to satisfy some ****ing idiots' insanity, and to tick a box <doh>
