I have been writing all week about Boris and his terrible premiership. The list of the things that have been done under his watch is too long to go over once again. so here is an article that does it for me and far more eloquently than I ever could
I am going to be controversial (for once) and tackle a subject that has been highlighted in recent years, transgender. First let me say that if an individual feels more comfortable as the opposite gender than the one they were born as, fine. What I object to is the notion that if they trans they are considered as the opposite sex. If your born a male, your male, if your born female, your female. Herein lies the problem if you transition, naturally you want to be considered as the gender you transition to! Perfectly acceptable but human physiology is hard wired, you are what you were born as! No amount of “transitioning” will change you from a male to a female or vice er versa. Therefore no matter which way you transition, in sport you cannot compete fairly. The case of women transitioning to a man and competing has not been highlighted as much as the other way round. If you were a man, you have a male physic and a huge advantage in some disciplines over other true female competitors. The rules to qualify are all to do with hormones or more precisely the lack of them and only drug treatment will lower the natural hormone level of a male to qualify for some sport, such as Olympic events. If your are uncomfortable in your skin then of course you should have the right to present as a female or male. The obsession with gender politics at present is way over the top and trans issues are corrupting feminism because surprise surprise trans females are reported to be more aggressive in their behaviour, I wonder why? My wife and I joked yesterday that we foresee a day when a the distressed cry of a new born baby will be interpreted as a cry that they are not happy with there birth sex! Our ability to understand the human body has come a long way and who knows what the future holds, maybe in the a full genetic change will be possible but at present your birth sex is your birth sex and no amount of medical transition will alter that DNA! It pains me to say this because I believe i am very open minded and liberal in my attitude, I try to see all side to a story, so I hope this is temporary as an issue of controversy and it will fade away but at this moment in time it is overblown and frankly it pisses me off!
Stay well
