    This isn't what my lasses' Nazi forefathers fought for!!!!
    Seriously though it's getting pathetic. There's a book 'left hand of darkness's where the author tried to create a genderless character. She said it was the hardest thing to do because, realistically, the English language (and our society) doesn't allow for somebody lacking gender.
    Gender is a fact, not some archaic opinion that needs challenging. If somebody decided they weren't born the right gender than fair enough, but let's not give every kid a complex about it. Really need to stop pushing adult issues into the young.
    When they run out of ideas they'll be pushing that our children shouldn't be pushed into breathing oxygen, because we don't do stereotypes

    I never really believed in the whole born in the wrong body thing but if nothing else we are our brain, everything else is largely irrelevant.
    That being said all this sort of business with the clothes is absolute twaddle!!

    But I heard that two lefts dont make a right.

    My nephew is married to a Swede who insists on dressing their 4 year old son in a dress occasionally to avoid him becoming gender- labelled. He doesnt half get some funny looks when they go out shopping in Kirkby Stephen.

    My children are too old for me to choose their clothes, but I think I'd immediately look for the exit if I saw such sillyness.

    It's making life unnecessarily difficult. Now when we go shopping we have to check for 4 different labels:
    1. Boys/men
    2. Girls/women
    3. Boys & girls genderless
    4. ACS ****ty taste in dress sense

    Reminds me of the time wor lass got thrown out of Tesco for standing staring at a bottle of orange for 6 hours.

    She maintains to this day that it was because the instruction on the bottle said concentrate...

    No mothers or fathers, sons or daughters, brothers or sisters, no boys or girls, no men and women, no cocks or fannies, no xx or xy. Just a nation of hermaphrodites ****ing ourselves, producing our own non gender specific mutant abominations. That's the message I'm getting from John Lewis here <laugh>
