Yeah I had a quick poke around and it seems to be much more of an explicitly anti-trans site than pro-LGB.
Lesbian and Gay News is an alternative source of news and opinion. We’re here to reflect the lives, politics and culture of same sex attraction and to report today’s major debates around sex and gender. Most importantly, we’re determined to do so in a temperate, informed and respectful way.lyonspride said:

The whole transgender thing and mis identifying of gender is just plain stupid. You are as you are born biologically even if you "feel" differently

Yes, yes, but people don't walk around with their bits on show, so we have these pesky things knowns "social gender roles", which have nothing to do with biology, they are simply how a person presents themselves. We go to work, we wear "uniforms" appropriate to our roles, we go for a walk we wear "uniforms" appropriate to ourselves and our personality. The ridiculous thing is that people are so bothered by that, and if you take away gender for a minute, it really is purely about people not conforming to social norms..
All it boils down to is the basic human instinct to hate and mistrust anyone who doesn't "fit in". Out groups, like cyclists.
I mean i'm f**ked, middle aged and I don't wear badly fitting "dad" jeans with a baggy polo shirt, or a button down shirt with chino shorts, socks and sandals, like my father did and like every bloke my age seems to..........
This whole thing is ridiculous, the worlds gone to s
t, pandemic, unemployment is through the roof, and people are worried about someone wearing the "wrong" clothes.............Edited by lyonspride on Sunday 13th June 08:34
Just been to a charity shop where the clothes aren't separated by gender.
Some may object to this being described as woke nonsense but where these ideas render something uttely impractical that seems fitting, unlike the clothes
I might go back when I've got hours to sift through things that look good at first glance but but are a size 10, and while I'm there I'll check whether the changing rooms are gendered.

I'd separate the clothes by men's/women's, not because they have to be "for" that gender, but because the sizes are usually different even when nominally the same, e.g. L vs L for a t shirt.
It's a lot more than that though. I'd be a women's 12 but even a jumper is still going to fit completely wrong. Far too short for one.R Mutt said:

But if you see it's a 12, you know pretty much what that correlates to in terms of dimensions (leaving aside the variability of women's clothing sizing between brands).If it says M/L/XL it could be radically different depending if they mean men's or women's.

not really, size 12 (for example) can vary drastically from label to label within the same shop, let alone different shops and totally different ideas of luxury/casual/business/etcR Mutt said:

Aren't charity shops always a big jumble of crap to sift through?
Not when you can easily walk to the section selling say men's long sleeve shirts, and then follow the size order you find yours, and see if there's anything there you like, as in pretty much all shops, charity or otherwise.Gassing Station | Jobs & Employment Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
