James O'Brien is quite fond of the phrase, and, as usual, is quite happy to explain why.

Think you missed the word "some" 😉 The fact of the matter is that the population of the country has increased by 9 million in less than thirty years. We can, and should, have sensible conversations as to how that increase has happened and whether that is a good thing or not, given that we are...

Jesse "the Body" Ventura is not happy with JD Vance:

For some context, as immigration is cited as the reason behind the unrest, the population of the UK in 1997 was about 58 million, now in 2024 it stands at about 67 million.

Once you've upgraded from an extender to mesh, you won't go back.

Erm, not sure where you are quoting that bullshit from*, but his Wikipedia page is quite clear that Trump nominated him as Deputy Attorney General in 2017, as does his biography with the Senate. Have a read, he's had an interesting career. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Rosenstein...

20:36 around Stoke Park today, not a season's best, but enough to bag my first top ten finish since 2019. I'm happy with that, especially given that it is very rare for me to run three consecutive days.

The Mueller investigation was set up by the Department of Justice whilst Donald Trump was President, by a Trump appointed Deputy Attorney General.

I think that that accusation is uncalled for on this thread. The majority of posters here have been entirely respectful of the woman concerned, and haven't conflated her specific circumstances with those of people who have transitioned wanting to compete with people from the gender category...

Hmm, we'll have to disagree I think on that one. Which is fine.

I did think quite carefully about which terms to use in the post, and those were the ones that were unambiguous. Though it would seem not as neutral I thought (and intended). 🤔 I'm not quite sure where you get lower class citizen thing from, that is quite a leap from what I wrote.

As I said earlier, transgender people are fully aware of what they are. You have to question the moral and ethical character of someone who has transitioned from man to trans-woman and thinks it okay to assume that they should be allowed to compete with actual females, knowing the physical...

It doesn't take a lot to make an ear bleed profusely, as Mummy Orange found out when she nicked mine whilst giving me a haircut when I was a youth. I reckon his ear was grazed rather than holed. He was a very lucky man.

I doubt that the majority of people actually dwell too much on their own sex and gender, let alone worrying about anyone else's.

It is quite an interesting moral problem. I suppose the question to ask is if we didn't have all these tests, would we, and they, know? I think for people with these intersex conditions the answer is probably no in both cases. This is separate from transgender people, as they most certainly...

That seems unlikely, though I don't think puberty is male or female thing per se. It is a process that is parameterised by what is physically present, and starts with the brain signalling the gonads to produce hormones, oestrogen from ovaries and testosterone from testicles, and these then...

I agree, the story is far more interesting and nuanced than the deliberately salacious headlines. I was gently amused that you managed to get cis-gendered and woke nonsense into consecutive sentences. Seems to capture the zeitgeist somewhat! 😁

Absolutely hammered down here, bit of ingress around the skylight in the kitchen when our deep flow gutters got overwhelmed!

That I do not know. Intersex conditions are rare, so present an equally rare and specific problem for the governing bodies of female sports. I suspect there isn't the same problem in male sports.

The human body is quite a remarkable thing, and there are a number of ways it can f*ck up in development. If anything, it sounds like the boxer in question is intersex, in that while they are coded to be male (they have a y chromosome) they developed female sex organs and grew up and present as...
