Apparently words stating gender are offensive to some and will now be removed and substituted with symbols.

What is even more astounding this that this stupid person was totally embarrassed by the TELEPHONE conversation, and on that basis took the ferry company to a discrimination tribunal.

And what about this contradictory statement from him/her:

'They are the ones that own the toilets and decide who uses their facilities. I did not want to be humiliated. Condor said the only facility I should be using are the disabled facilities.'

Obviously they are not able to decide then .....

It only matters if you are transgender, nobody else's opinion is relevant to a certain element of transgenderites (is that a word?).

As a transgender 'woman' she could have just gone into the ladies toilets. Like any other woman. Without any prior phone call.

But then there wouldn't have been a court case and loads of publicity about all the special treatment 'she' thinks 'she' deserves... rolleyes

I'm offended that there are no toilets for white people.

And what if Eddie Izzard also wants a wee, but he decided that day to put a dress on?

Maybe its time we just have one unisex toilet now...

It's ironic & a massive woosh parrot moment that of course the professionally outraged are those who trawl through the DM looking for this nonsense to then repost on a car enthusiasts website.

I've just telephoned HMRC and told them I don't self-identify with the tax underpayment demand they sent me.

Only the women that were born as women and identify as women. Some of the women would have been born as men and forced to live as that until now, so maybe they have retained some of the ingrained male traits. And maybe some of the men were born as women but now identify as men so put the seats down.
And some were born as a man or a woman, and now identify as neither/something else/inanimate object/[insert label here] and maybe remove the seat entirely and throw it in the bin or paint it red or so some other kind of attention weing fkwittery.





God, its a bloody minefield. Can someone just tell me what im supposed to believe?
