    Being labelled as some obscure minority gender may be handy when jobhunting. That way, when you don't get the job there will be some PC liberal type more than willing to hold up your gender label as being the reason for you being discriminated against. I read on here recently that there are about 45 identifiable genders - God help those poor businesses who employ 44 employees or less They'll be getting some shit from somewhere.

    And for those in a tiny minority group they can look forward to a massive wage spiral as companies compete to hire them to get their numbers up. Won't matter what they do or how good they are.

    I would say more than 99% of the world's population think this. It's only a relatively tiny minority of westerners who believe that transgenderism isn't a mental disorder.

    I do love the way people assume something is automatically nonsense if it's in The Sun or Daily Mail, I'm pretty sure both reported on England winning the world Cup in 1966, The twin towers, Concord, the space shuttle, did none of those happen?

    I just mean you shouldn't read the Sun, especially in the context of its 'reporting' of Hillsborough. The same goes for the Daily Mail, which supported fascists in the 1930s and still supports them now. As for the 'story', who gives a toss? People do get het up over the most trivial things, but I guess it goes with reading shite newspapers that print stuff designed to wind up a certain demographic. Read a good book instead, there's thousands out there.

    Haven't read The Sun in years. Does it still have George and Lynne? Their stories were always believable.

    I don't think I've ever read it. My parents used to buy the Daily Mirror, until it started competing with The Sun in printing pictures of scantily-clad young women. Then they switched to the Daily Express, which was weird, as it was and is a right-wing comic and they were both Labour supporters (my mother being somewhere to the left of Tony Benn).
