apologies Dusty, do you mean in the long list of thingys on the list of whatever that list describes.. lbg- understand that, T- winds me up why is identity piggy backing off lbg rights, q- oh fuck i don’t know or have the energy to understand, +, WHF, Winds me up, why do people want to put every little bit of our experience in a category. And for what purpose? I think that its the logical next leg of consumerism in the sense that we all grew up being told the customer is always right, and we are entitled to anything or any experience law permitting if we can afford it, so the next phase of this celebration/worship of the individual is to empower the individual to transcend actual reality- well if i say i’m a woman i am because the level of which i am now elevated too is so high my word is as good as anyone else’s, who the fuck is anyone else to challenge me. I AM ENTITLED. little pre school run rant there- sorry. But the levels of self importance in identity politics are not healthy or morally acceptable. To me at least, we are as wonderful as we are, simply children of this beautiful planet and we should know our place- which is to serve each other and be appropriate guardians of the planet. As far as i can tell we are neither. Not good enough.

Have a nice day Dusty. I can’t wait for identity politics just to be a laughable foot note of our history. I know its not funny now, but hopefully future generations will just think it’s ridiculous. Because it is.

Thanks @concerned bloke

I mean all the stuff people like Stonewall want to add on. We need the LGB on its own. Stop trying to ride on the coat tails of LGB rights.

I think there may be two Ws - one is 'weird' and the other is...anyway I'll let you work that out :)

All the best and keep up the good fight

Completely agree re LGB, thanks Dusty, you too! we will get there, i’m about to have a snuggle with my 4 yr girl. She’s not going to be taught this poison and i know so many parents that won’t either. Wrong body my arse, its child abuse to tell them that.
