The Gender Non-binary debate.
Discussion
“School children will be taught that "all genders" can have periods in new sex education lessons, in a victory for transgender rights campaigners.
The advice to teachers was approved by Brighton & Hove City Council as they try to tackle stigma around menstruation.
The new advice follows a council report which said: "Trans boys and men and non-binary people may have periods", adding that "menstruation must be inclusive of all genders"

You can't beat a well-rounded education.

Apparently the term vagina isn't gender inclusive so what better term to use than 'front hole'
http://caldronpool.com/healthline-says-using-the-m...
I have just tested this outhttp://caldronpool.com/healthline-says-using-the-m...
I asked if I could rub my genitals against my partners front hole....I now have two black eyes and a baseball bat stuck up my rear hole
Holy s
tUpper,middle,and lower front holes? Could be awkward describing a heavy bleed without clarification.
Does the belly button count as a hole(albeit a shallow one)?And what if you're an "outtie"? Outist?
If they want to change medical terminology, may I suggest they use an old one...."Idiot"!
helping to reduce stigma over menstruation is a good idea, some of the language used in the article seems..silly. But then it's a newspaper, and trust in polls and papers is in short supply.
Seems a waste of money to put sanitary pad bins in boys changing rooms, the uniform thing seems like a good idea, learning about bodies is a good idea. Not keen on the harassment bit...it really depends where the rule slides. It's be wrong for a teacher to bully a kid, but then we can't have kids dictating terms to teachers either...as usual, common sense in the moment would be the best indicator.

Sensationalist nonsense that does more harm than good. It's like stories of Christmas being renamed "Winterval" and the like. It just exists to get Daily Mail readers hot under the collar and Gammons something to get righteously indignant about.
Well, Daily Mail readers who have inadvertently picked up the Telegraph. Clockwork Cupcake said:

Is it sensationalist nonsense if the reported incidents are actually true?Take the Manchester Elementary school in Nebraska where the principal emailed out a list to the teachers listing all things which will be banned which include candy canes because they are an upside down J and Jesus starts with a J.

I'm pretty sure upsetting daily mail readers was the last thing on the principle's mind when she was coming up with her banned Xmas items.

Probably not given it happened in America, where even the mighty reach of the Daily Mail might be stretched.Did you even read the link you posted? Cooler minds prevailed. Don't let that stop you frothing about some non event that happened 4000 miles away.

The most pertinent comment in that clip which applies to so much of this stuff - 'it's just preposterous that we even have to have the discussion, it's so absolutely ridiculous".https://youtu.be/RsSIEmfNVeA

So, anyway, who is having gammon this Winterval?
Quorn roast for me. Undecided on whether to go for the beef or chicken flavoured. May live dangerously and have both! Oh, and in keeping with the thread, I might eat winterval dinner in a boob tube and tights.
It would not be a pretty sight!
