Re: People dynamics
If that is the case then it would not be surprising given that perhaps 97% of the population identify as heterosexual leaving 3% of the population identifying as lesbian or gay or bisexual or other non-heterosexual orientation.MyLittleStudPony wrote: ↑Wed Sep 20, 2023 5:23 pmThat's in no way homophobic.

Re: People dynamics
Someone posted a sort of poem, about Iccy wearing a bumming hat. The mythical bumming forum followed on. That’s the first I remember about the headwear.

IIRC the ONS says significantly fewer than that in the UK are heterosexual. Not that it really matters.

LONDON, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Around 3% of people in England and Wales aged 16 or over identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual, according to 2021 census data released on Friday.
...
The questions about sexual orientation and gender identity were voluntary, and 7.5% of people declined to answer about their sexual orientation, while 6.0% did not answer the question on gender identity.

Re: People dynamics
Back when I was in comp, our RE teacher told us that one in 30 people were gay... it was a class of 30 students, hence lots of finger pointing.
This was probably 1991ish.
I'd assume it's higher now, not because there's more homosexuals, but because more people are willing tick the box, it's not as stigmatised now.

Re: People dynamics
That Census data also says west Wales is Hella Gay.
I kinda expected London, Brighton etc sure, but I'm surprised by that. Nothing else to add here, just didn't expect it!

Re: People dynamics
It is obvious that most people do not understand that the human species is dimorphic with only about 0.018% of the population being so-called 'intersex', neither do they understand that biological sex is immutable.

Re: People dynamics
And the unfortunate sufferers from the disorders which you archaically call intersex, are all either male or female.
Male or female, not both, not neither and not in between.

Re: People dynamics
Gender depends on what's between your legs, sex is what you do with it.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

Re: People dynamics
I said "so-called 'intersex'" rather than "DSD" because (in the context in which it was used) the former term was far more likely to be understood than "DSD".
