Is this concentrated campaign against the trans community (whatever the fook that is) really a swipe at Nicola Sturgeon who has (erroneously from a political point of view) nailed her colours to the cause?

[Doug Tait]

Not so sure Mick. I saw a poll recently that showed more people disagree with her on the trans issue than support independence, Alex Salmond is definitely using her position as a stick to beat her since the poll results, as are others, but I think the majority really feel that the idea of self pronouncement on gender is going too far whether Nicola supports it or not.

I think that was my point.

They're too busy chasing the next issue to actually think or even acknowledge people have a differing viewpoint.

 

Take the prison thing, it's hardly a stretch of the imagination to say men and women only, but if you have transitioned fully as a women you can. No member = very little risk.

 

A lopped off rapist probably isn't a bad thing for when they finally get released, maybe we should encourage it for pedos. A glitterless ball sounds good.

Sorry, got the wrong end of the stick then. For clarity, we agree.

Was he born a greengrocer or something?

 

Ridiculous hyperbole referring to him as a Trans-butcher.

Really shouldn't laugh, but that was funny!

 

*edit*- and the initial headline indeed ridiculous.

On GMB tv this morning there was a couple of Vicars/priests from differing persuasions debating whether God should still be viewed as an old man with a beard sitting on a throne up there somewhere !  Come on ! God , can identify as whatever he wants , I mean after all he is flippin' god 🙂

That's my local butcher. Andrew, now Amy I think. I used to play football with him. He's been living as a woman for a long time, last I heard he'd had an operation to finish the transition but he's been going downhill lately with drink. Don't know what this incident with the girl is about yet as they're not saying much but knowing him I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to "mother" her rather than being abusive. It'll all come out so we'll see but he's bound to get a sentence for abduction whatever his reasons. If he's not actually got any male parts now will that mean he gets sent to a woman's prison?

Just glad the wee lass wasn't harmed.

I've been to that butchers, posh, but then so is the rest of Melrose! Something about JK Rowling in the window

 

 

Trying to think of a good joke, there must be one....... 

 

 

 

 

 

Trans butcher goes to the sex change surgeon to get his manhood cut off.

 

 

 

Surgeon says to him:

"Sure, no problem.

Is it link or lorne?"

 

 

 

 

That was terrible.

Sausage jokes are the wurst.
