Thread: the political correctness and do gooders have gone too far

Perhaps they can use the nautical term "bridge"! Not that it matters, so long as they don't call the aeroplane he or she as the plane hasn't declared it's own gender!

I thought there were three sexes; male, female, hermaphrodite. Look up any porn site.

I'm sorry Disco Man, you can't use Box and Female in the same sentence.

The first time I heard the phrase "Transgender" I too thought it was absolutely ridiculous.

I did a bit of research and realized I was ignorant and altered my perspective accordingly. I'm glad to know better because I no longer say ignorant ****, which is embarrassing.

Nothing in life is black and white. It's mostly all shades of grey. No shame in that and kudos to the person who stood up for their rights that most of us take for granted.

No, I would prefer to spend the outlandish amount if money a case like this must of cost to the benefit of many people in need if real help. To live or day support a family. This person X's desire to feel special and be recognised as something different has wasted a heap of taxpayer money for VERY little return to the community.
No doubt the bleeding hearts will celebrate this as a great victory and then move on to the next "special" and waste a **** load more.
The needs of the many SHOULD out way the needs of the few. The problem is some people (mostly progressive types it seems) just don't know how to say NO. And Most truly unremarkable "specials" know exactly how to chew up the public funding the rest of us she'll out for.

In my mind, satisfying this need to be different/special is just a minor hang over from the age of entitlement.
