I'm just going to say this and before anybody starts foaming at the mouth, I'm not homophobic! I couldn't give a fuck if you're gay. If you're a bloke and you fancy blokes, crack on. If you're a woman and you fancy women, crack on. Get married, adopt twelve fucking Labradors and spend Sunday arguing in IKEA like everybody else.
But what the fuck happened after that?
Because I remember LGBT.
I could just about keep up with that.
Then it became LGBTQ. Then LGBTQ+. Then LGBTQIA+. Then LGBTQIA2S+.
Fuck me. I used to think LGBT was a sandwich. Lettuce, guacamole, bacon and tomato. Then the Q arrived and I thought somebody had added fucking quiche.
Now it looks like somebody's Wi-Fi password.
And that's before you even get into the rest of it.
Non-binary, genderfluid, genderqueer, agender, bigender, trigender, pangender, polygender, demigender, demiboy, demigirl, genderflux, androgyne, neutrois, maverique, xenogender, genderfae, genderfaun.
Then there's he/him, she/her, they/them, he/they, she/they, he/she/they, it/its, ze/hir, ze/zir, zie/hir, xe/xem, ey/em, e/em, ve/ver, ne/nem, per/per, co/cos, thon/thon, ae/aer and fae/faer.
Still with me?
Because we're not fucking finished.
Bun/bunself. Pup/pupself. Cat/catself. Star/starself. Moon/moonself. Void/voidself.
VOIDSELF.
What the fuck am I supposed to do with that?
"Excuse me, is this seat taken?"
"Void."
"Right. I'll fucking stand."
And somewhere along the way we've also got furries. Grown adults dressed as cats, dogs, foxes and fucking dragons. People meowing. People barking. People crawling around on all fours. I've seen people dressed as dogs doing obstacle courses with an audience cheering them on like fucking Crufts has accidentally booked the wrong convention centre.
Imagine being an alien arriving on Earth and that's the first thing you see.
You'd put the fucking spaceship in reverse.
"No intelligent life here.
One of them's dressed as a border collie and somebody's just given him a biscuit."
And I'm sorry, but some of the videos are fucking spectacular. You've got somebody with luminous green hair looking like they've escaped from Fraggle Rock, absolutely screaming into another person's face because they've used the wrong pronoun.
How the fuck was he supposed to know?
You need a fucking laminated flowchart.
"Hello."
"HOW DARE YOU."
"I haven't said anything yet."
"EXACTLY."
This is the bit I don't understand. Be whoever you want to be. Love whoever you want to love. Wear whatever you want. Dye your hair green. Dress as a dragon. Call yourself Moonbeam. Spend Saturday crawling around the NEC pretending to be a fucking spaniel if that's what gets you through the week.
I genuinely don't care.
But don't demand that everybody else joins in.
My view is that there are two genders, male and female. You can disagree with me. That's fine. We can disagree about things without one of us spontaneously fucking combusting.
What I won't do is memorise an ever-expanding dictionary because somebody somewhere has decided this week that they're fae/faer, void/voidself and spiritually a fucking woodland fox.
We've somehow taken "live and let live", which was perfectly fucking simple, and turned it into a terms-and-conditions document.
You live your life. I'll live mine.
I'll call you by your name. I'll treat you like a human being. I won't give a flying fuck who you sleep with.
But if you start barking at me, I'm throwing a fucking tennis ball.

They hypersexaulised society with limitless porn, now more than a third of women are strangled during sex. And all of us are a replaceable and worthless
They told us men can come into bathrooms with us and we have to undress in front of them, and if we don't like it, we are hateful. Now every other day a woman is attacked in changing rooms by a man. If we try to protest, they threaten to rape and kill us.
They told little girls they must look like a Kardashian, or else they might rather be a boy. Now 75% of children who think they are in the wrong body are female, despite cases of dysphoria historically being 85% male. That's ok, little girls can just have their breasts removed and become infertile. Men can use a surrogate anyway.
They flooded our towns and cities with misogynistic migrant men who regard non-Muslim women as slaves. As the attacks stack up , they tell us to be silent or else we are committing a hate crime
They covered up a violent epidemic of gang rape, torture and abuse against little girls as it contradicted their multicultural ideology. Hundreds of thousands of children have been used by multiple feral men as a sex toy.
They are justifying Female Genital Mutilation in medical journals so as not to upset the invaders.
They expect us to work to the bone and hand half of our salaries to the government to accommodate in hotels the same men who harass and grope and intimidate, and even chuck single mothers out of housing so these men can have it instead.
It really is such a special time for women! Look how far we have progressed! No wonder the birthrate is off the charts!

Calling a man a man is not 'bullying' or 'punching down.' Crossdressing straight men are currently one of the most pandered-to demographics in existence, and women are under no obligation to applaud the people caricaturing us.

The message to girls everywhere: you are a costume that any man can put on. Once he’s wearing it, he gets to take your rights. thetimes.com/world/europe/ar…

Unless you’ve followed or paid close attention to what @jk_rowling has been saying, extremely courteously & politely for 10 long years now, & witnessed the decade-long, non-stop onslaught of the worst possible abuse, threats, lies & slander…
UNLESS you’re 100% aware of how civilly & calmly she has conducted herself in the face of such vitriol, hatred & aggression & actively involving family members…
UNLESS you’ve watched, time & time again, men telling her to “sit down & shut up”, “control yourself, woman” or “I don’t think that’s very nice. Why can’t you just be kind & accept what we are telling you?”,
I’m really NOT convinced that it’s your f***ing place to pop up NOW & instruct her to exercise ‘basic common decency’…
SHE’S BEEN DOING THAT FOR 10 YEARS.
So, I’m sure all you bleating, barking men, out there, who’ve suddenly decided she’s “crossed a line”, you, embarrassingly, HAVEN’T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION, have you?
She’s done the whole “being kind” schtick. (For many more years than most of us would, to be honest).
Where has that got her?
TRA’s don’t CARE about that. They are going to hate her regardless. They want the hate. They crave it. Nevertheless, she continued to debate with grace & courtesy, whilst others raged at her from basements etc, worldwide.
But, to you, watching from the sidelines, now popping up like f***ing whack-a-moles, you might have failed to notice that she is out of fucks to give & has said so. Clearly.
And believe it or not, she has the unwavering gratitude & support of a HUGE (& ever-growing) number of women, girls, gay people, transsexuals, detransitioners, parents & children.
Why?
Because she took the fall for those who felt they had no voices nor a chance to say “No”.
Well, they do now. And if that bugs the heck out of you, you’ll have to find a better coping strategy. Because our voices, loudly & given strength because of her, will NEVER deny the truth & always speak up for those who are TRULY vulnerable & marginalised.
And shame on all the Q+ organisations for turning your backs on her, after all the help & financial support she gave to those with HIV. Shame on you.
Thank you again @jk_rowling for standing tall & for NOT “staying in your goddamn’d place!” ❤️

Remember, every person who says they are disgusted by the Supreme Court judgment is admitting that:
They’re disgusted that female sexual assault survivors might meet in a support group to open up about their trauma, without men being present.
They’re disgusted that lesbians can socialise exclusively with other lesbians, without men being present.
They’re disgusted by new mothers gathering together to discuss breastfeeding or post partum problems, without men being present.
They’re disgusted that girls can play sport with other girls and shower, change and dress, without boys being present.
They’re disgusted that organisations - which realise they are too male dominated - can’t fill any female quotas with other men.
They’re disgusted that vulnerable female prisoners and arrestees can’t be searched by men or kept in a cell with other men.
They’re disgusted that women can have their own things.
They’re disgusted by the Equality Act 2010.
They’re disgusted by the law.
Isn’t that disgusting?

Attendance Matters!
But so do children…
Perhaps you've seen a similar poster?
Well, I propose a few changes; if we're going to award attendance I think we should at least be honest about what we're awarding.

Shame on the @iocmedia for allowing women to be beaten up by men as a sport. RT if you agree #ShameOnTheIOC
Stop sharing that bloody photo, we've all seen it now. Sharing photos of child abuse is despicable and you're giving him the attention he craves. We don't need to keep seeing it to discuss it.
I don't expect much from #Wetherspoons but I expect to not have ham on a vegetarian pizza 🤬
