A recent comment from Supersub6 really got me thinking, then I read this...

PC Rubbish, its pathetic and will get worse.. . . . .

[Supersub6]

alto --I totally agree! The world has gone mad with all this rubbish and the obsession seems to be that people who identify as the same gender that we were born are just not normal and neither is it normal to be hetero***ual these days!
Everybody has to have a label so I've decided that mine is that I am obnoxious pillock who will not join in their silly games ---no matter what!

I like the "obnoxious pillock" tag supersub6. Join the new thread?

If you are sick of the gender neutrals and the snowflakes, put your moniker here?

Definitely! Having said that, I am easy going and believe in live and let live, it is the incessant media obsession with things like this which drive you to distraction ---if you let it! I remain an obnoxious pillock and proud of it!

Like most people I've been bemused by the speed with which this transgender garbage seems to have gained a foothold in society, until I read this by James Kirkup in the Speccy. So this is how they're doing it, but you do have to wonder where the money comes from to fund all these groups/organisations, and the report mentioned won't have come cheap, and you also have to wonder what their motivation is and actual aims are, it all seems a bit scary to me, summat's not reyt. I could put a link up but it might be behind a paywall so I've copied it.

"A great deal of the transgender debate is unexplained. One of the most mystifying aspects is the speed and success of a small number of small organisations in achieving major influence over public bodies, politicians and officials. How has a certain idea taken hold in so many places so swiftly? People and organisations that at the start of this decade had no clear policy on or even knowledge of trans issues are now enthusiastically embracing non-binary gender identities and transition, offering gender-neutral toilets and other changes required to accommodate trans people and their interests. These changes have, among other things, surprised many people. They wonder how this happened, and why no one seems to have asked them what they think about it, or considered how those changes might affect them.

Some of the bodies that have embraced these changes with the greatest zeal are surprising: the police are not famous social liberals but many forces are now at the vanguard here, even to the point of checking our pronouns and harassing elderly ladies who say the wrong thing on Twitter. How did we get here? I think we can discount the idea that this is a simple question of organisations following a changing society. Bluntly, society still doesn’t know very much about transgenderism. If you work in central London in certain sectors, live in a university town (or at a university) or have children attending a (probably middle-class) school, you might have some direct acquaintance. But my bet is that most people don’t know any trans people and don’t have developed views about how the law should evolve with regards to their status. So the question again: how did organisations with small budgets and limited resources achieve such stunning success, not just in the UK but elsewhere?

Well, thanks to the legal website Roll On Friday, I have now seen a document that helps answer that question. The document is the work of Dentons, which says it is the world’s biggest law firm; the Thomson Reuters Foundation, an arm of the old media giant that appears dedicated to identity politics of various sorts; and the International Lesbian, Gay, Bi***ual, Transgender, Queer and Inter*** Youth & Student Organisation (IGLYO). Both Dentons and the Thomson Reuters Foundation note that the document does not necessarily reflect their views. The report is called ‘Only adults? Good practices in legal gender recognition for youth’. Its purpose is to help trans groups in several countries bring about changes in the law to allow children to legally change their gender, without adult approval and without needing the approval of any authorities. ‘We hope this report will be a powerful tool for activists and NGOs working to advance the rights of trans youth across Europe and beyond,’ says the foreword. As you’d expect of a report co-written by the staff of a major law firm, it’s a comprehensive and solid document, summarising law, policy and ‘advocacy’ across several countries. Based on the contributions of trans groups from around the world (including two in the UK, one of which is not named), it collects and shares ‘best practice’ in ‘lobbying’ to change the law so that parents no longer have a say on their child’s legal gender."
