Maybe he's not offended, perhaps he just can't see the logic in being asked as a man, if he is pregnant.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 6:25 pm So what do you want them to do? Go through and review/change questions to avoid offending you?
Sounds pretty snowflake

Re: In todays news...
Being offended or logic or just not filling in a form at a blood donor session because you're an arse all pathetic reasons for creating a fuss when people are just trying to do their jobs.
Fill it in and donate or don't and don't. Simple enough.

The over 20 year old form should be left exactly as it is now to avoid offending you.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 7:10 pm Its changed plenty, I said that too.
What hasn't changed is that they haven't appended "if you're a woman" to the front of the longstanding "are you pregnant?" question.
Asking them to do that to avoid offending you is pretty snowflake, like I said

They always need someone to blame and when it stops being their parents they blame their boss, or the government or someone. This bloke probably thinks the king is holding him back from his true potential, or something.

Re: In todays news...
This exact scenario has played out before and it astonishes me that people don't see it for exactly what it is.
Hitlerjugend and Bund Deutscher Mädel. Get 'em while they're young and they're yours for life. New legislation (!) in the US makes it a crime to tell the parents their child is seeking medical intervention for gender dysphoria for example.
If they can get away with it over there, then they'll get away with it here. Teach or coerce/force people to accept ideological nonsense and they will never be persuaded by the voice of reason. If those two camps just happen to be separated by a political ideology, then there is an entire group of people who will never accept the voice of reason...
Now it should become clear why identity politics is being rammed down our throats despite nobody (hardly anybody) asking for it.

If it is really a £20k a year girls school, one has to wonder why they allow people in who identify as male. Their money is as good as anybody's I guess.

"The teacher said she felt she was later "managed out" of her position, revealing that the head teacher rejected her application to remain at the school after her one-term contract ended"
One whole term eh? Clearly not 20k school material
Since when was someone being embarrassed headline news anyway? Isn't that normally branded snowflakeism?

That is a very good point. Wish I’d gone to an all girls school. Heck given the chance, I’d put my hand up (so to speak).

Re: In todays news...
Pretty much that.^
Slight issue with a form and the fucking snowflake whines like a bitch about it.
Not rocket science, he wants to help others out and give blood? So all he has to do is just fill in as not pregnant and frame himself.
IIRC this was ages ago, are people still bitter and twisted about it, jeez.

So the pub which displayed the vintage dolls gets vandalised. Let me guess, the vandals belong to groups such as, BLM? Hope Not Hate? The usual violent, intolerant and hateful left wing groups?

Re: In todays news...
Those "vintage dolls" are about as offensive and overtly racist as anything can possibly get. What do you suppose their being on display "says" to black customers? might as well stick a sign on the door, "no blacks, no Irish, no dogs". FFS.
...and the swastika is simply an interesting old Sanskrit graphical element? Yeah right.

My brothers M-I-L made some Gollys for her grandchildren as Christmas gifts, they opened them while I was round for Christmas lunch. I sniggered. "they're not racist!" she retorted.

They are racist though. However I didn't vandalise her house, and it wasn't really the time or place to educate her.
Re: In todays news...
Genuine question, exactly how are they racist?
As far as I'm aware, they're a caricature figure, so you want to cancel black people? Isn't that a bit like saying, no black people allowed on TV because if we see any, it's racist?
Look at uncle bens rice for example, how inclusive and diverse of them, to remove the black person from their packaging.
It's in the same direction as sports bras being advertised by a man pretending to be a woman, you're cancelling the actual people.
