This somehow gets weirder and weirder beyond the already mental headline.
The picture of the victim.
Wonder what the protest was for.
One of Magics mates RIP.
How in the actual fuck do you end up in a position where a 52 year old man, who looks like that, is your babysitter?
Excited to see which direction Marvel take this.
Yeah Manc, you non-virgin muppet.

Can we dump them on an unsuspecting family who think they're terrapins? Awww.
The BBC are promoting mental shit like skipping meals to cope with energy price rises. What the fuck.
Not sure they're really promoting that unless you also think they are promoting getting dressed up for a weekly trip to the soup kitchen.
Nobody should be skipping meals. They should have put a big fat disclaimer on it "this is stupid, don't do this" but they've ran it as if it's normal behaviour.
I dunno, the woman in the article looks big enough to manage. She’s probably just skipping breakfast and snacking.

Trust grumpy to find the downside.
It sounds like she wants a drug that makes more dwarfs.
Turns out some people do want to be defined by their disability.
Having reflected, I think that might be one of the most insane viewpoints I've ever seen.
What's next? No reconstructive surgery for burn victims? No prosthetic limbs for amputees?
It's just more "my disability is my superpower" horseshit.
Child blindness in Africa. We need to stop treating that. It's fucking offensive that we do.
They seem to have designed it specifically not to cover Ray Winstone.

Pretty sure appendicitis isn't really caused by holding in your farts.
A doctor thought I had Appendicitis a while back and asked if I had been "breaking wind" ok, so it must have something to do with it.
I got appendicitis on an air-plane (I think the pressure change set it off as I had no symptoms until mid-air) and I was just vomiting non-stop.
True dat. My wife once pulled a sickie to look after me because I was in crippling pain. Half an hour later, on the verge of calling out an ambulance I let out the best fart I've ever done. Right as rain after that.
This quote from Stonewall about Boris' comments on trans athletes:
Erm ... the opportunity to compete in a field made of the opposite biological gender is not an opportunity everyone is given. They can still compete in sport, just not in that specific circumstance.In response to Johnson's comments, LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall said: "Trans people deserve the same opportunities as everyone else to enjoy the benefits of sport and blanket exclusions on trans people participating are fundamentally unfair.
Yeah the trans athlete stuff is obviously dodgy. As with the Lia Thomas times her defenders put up actually undermining their arguments. 'See, after transitioning she is actually 2 seconds slower than she was!' Yeah but she was 10 seconds off the men's record and now she is 2 seconds off the women's record.
I don't doubt some of these are done purely to win, especially if they haven't had their dick off. The were enough nutters getting surgery to make themselves more disabled in the paralympics.

I think it's a bit of a shame this cyclist has been fully barred as it seemed it was an interesting opportunity to properly study relative performance advantage, as was my understanding of what had been planned to happen.
Can't believe I agree with Boris.
It just proves that a broken clock is sometimes right.
If they really want fairness, mixed gender participation would have to be across the board. And then neither women or trans athletes win.
Also, what's the deal with the African women having mad testosterone levels? Namibia especially.
Fairness is impossible. Usain Bolt is a genetic freak that nobody stood a chance against. That isn't fair, ban him. People are all different and there is no way to make sport fair.
However, I think changing gender to ensure you are up against people you can beat is a whole new level of unfairness. I don't think it should be allowed, but you could argue that they are essentially doing what glass jawed / weak punching Boxers do when they drop a weight division.

The crux of this really boils down to whether people actually believe trans women are women, if they do then they should be allowed to compete.
"Sport categories are based on sex, not gender."
That is all that is needed to end this shit.
The point is, in many physical sports, a trans woman would have a good chance at obliterating women born as women, whereas a trans man would have no chance against men born as men. Regardless of gender, there's a massive biological difference that you only otherwise see with PEDs, which aren't allowed.

I think it's only really far-left loons that can't see the obvious unfairness. I've seen Trans people speak out against it themselves. Sadly, the governing bodies are just too scared to risk being seen as bigoted, so here we are. At somepoint a freshly stiletto'd Tyson Fury will send Nicola Adams to the Crematorium and the madness will end.
They BOTTLED it over Caster Semenya. They're either a physical freak and should race, or not entirely female and shouldn't. Make them declare it. Instead, they came up with these stupid testosterone rules, and now you've got a load of thick-wristed eunuchs ruining it.
It is a masterstroke from Boris and co though because the opposition will spend a lot of time shitting the bed over this, and he will happily say it again in an election cycle which could easily swing floating voters when the others are umming and ahhhing over it.
Compromise: conversion therapy remains legal, but only if you want to de-gay yourself by cutting your cock/tits off and dressing up.
Funny how much people buy into and engage with this stuff. Strikes the perfect nerve that makes people feel they need to have a certain opinion.
It’s not funny at all. People have an opinion on nearly everything.
