So when you see, e.g., Roxie Tickle you would refer to him as he/him in the 3rd person I assume? Roxie has fought Sall Grover in court twice as Sall doesn’t recognise him as a woman. If trans people don’t want to compel others, why is Roxie doing it? He requires Sall to change, do you?
Thistle update: it has one purple flower, dozens of almost purple flowers. I say has, I meant had as my partner chopped of about 2/3 of it yesterday as it was crowding out everything near it. It’s gone on a diet! This photo is now out of date, but …
Here’s the latest Spear Thistle update. My partner is itching to chop it down as it is taking over the whole bed! We decided the word for it is “intimidating” 😆
We have a small garden and the soil is not deep. Some plants don’t make it. 😔 This has not stopped this spear thistle from appearing and just growing and growing! It’s so dramatic we have to wait until it flowers …
Since you asked so enthusiastically... 😀 I showed this to my mum years back; she asked “Who is that dear?” “It’s your son mother!” I replied. I do have a few of me in frocks but they have other people in them.
Found mine upstairs but refrained from showing the entire cover. I’m not comfortable with it these days … Ebay beckons perhaps …
It’s so exasperating. You are saying then that the separation of sport into male and female categories has no logical basis whatsoever. You are saying that there are no physical differences between males and females that are any way significant in any sport. Is that right?
I love the way that you feel you must tell me that Stonewall is named after the riots. Wow! Did you know they were named after the name of the Stonewall inn? Here are Sting & Elton John at the STONEWALL equality show in 1994 at the RAH. No mention of trans in the entire evening! I was there. You?
Who? How many? Where in Gay News? Why didn’t I meet any in CHE? Why none in workshops in Gay’s The Word? Why no visibity in gay books and magazines? So sick of this shit. Look: Stonewall’s website showing their KEY PRIORITIES for 2011/2012. Can you see “trans” anywhere? You believe your own lies
Looking at your timeline and your clearly approving repost, who exactly are these “women” being talked about? I’m assuming you think that those being deprived of their rights must include men because, after all “trans women are women” are they not? You have to think of their women’s rights too. 🤔
Yep, this bod is a perfect example, but there are many others. The heterosexual male Alex Drummond is a gay lesbian in a man’s body or something like that, don’tcha know … 🤷
I like mine a bit caramelised so I leave them in at a little hotter and a little longer than I ‘should’.
Tell me how whatever situation you are referring to meets these criteria:
I’m me. I behave like me and always have. I don’t even think about it. How do you think David Bowie wanted to be viewed? (He’s got heels on there too). He wasn’t trans-identifying (not a thing in the 70s). He was ‘just’ a man. An extraordinary man, but not a trans-identifying man. Shocking!
Transgenderists say “We’ve always been here”, that “We were right there beside you gays fighting for rights”. First, even. And yet the UK’s most trans obsessed organisation in 2025 had just one single word to say in 2014 … How strange.
Sorting out some scans of my postcards from the 80s & 90s I found this. Too much is still grimly the case but one thing is very notable for its absence since it was written before transgenderism existed. You can bet these are things those “wannabe women” don’t have time for!
Luckily I just avoided the shame- I got a Thunderbird 2 model for Christmas. In 2024. I finally started it about 2 weeks ago and yesterday I finished it! 🙂 Close call.
Too true. I’ll add a little of mine that I took a few weeks ago near where I live.
Do you know how to use a search engine? FYI: I found the attached via a search. I didn’t type it all out by hand to make it look like search results, in case you wondered.
In fact even as late as 2011/2012 they had nothing to say about trans and … LGB people were still LGB! 🤯 Two years later , they mentioned trans in passing on the equivalent page. Now they are a trans organisation and it all looks very different.
Here’s a shot from the wayback machine showing the trans darlings’ website of Stonewall and … how can it be? Not a single mention of trans! How can it be that they didn’t stand up for all the trans people like they do now? Ignoring you? Or maybe you hadn’t captured every area of policy back then …
Even Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus who, last year, surely won the prize for largest trans flag on the entire parade (by a mile), didn’t have anything to say at all to show support for you back in 2007 when I took this.
Or here, in Brighton, those Trans allies were keeping a very, very low profile. I’m sure they were there in spirit though. Some visibility might have helped though don’t you think?
