I'm pretty sure 'delicate genitals' is a Gerry McCann quote.

As in Madeleine? What context did he say that in? Jesus.
Such wrong uns' those two.

This is a genuine disgrace. Heads should roll and big compensation should be paid. In reality nothing will happen and we'll continued to get our lives fucked up at the whims of these morons. The impact of this on people's lives and careers will have been enormous.Some 222 doctors who thought they had passed a key exam they sat nearly 18 months ago have now been informed they failed. Another 61 who believed they had failed have now been told they passed in what has been called a "life-altering" and "catastrophic" error.
Have we checked the genitalia of those that failed?
They're adults so I doubt any of Giggles lot would be interested.
Big fuckup, obviously, but maybe they should have tried studying harder in the first place."Are they going to get sacked? How are they going to sort out their lives for a resit in six weeks? Do they really have to resit? What was their mark in the end? How has this happened? Why has it taken 18 months? That level of distress, that life and career-altering distress, has an impact."
The ones who were told they'd failed when they actually passed are far worse in my opinion. They may (likely will) have missed out on higher speciality training jobs in order to resit, and competition ratios have continued to explode since 2023. Even if it only set them back a year, that's still a huge financial loss over the course of their careers, not to mention just the impact on their life. They'll have also paid out the exam fee to resit, paid for travel and accommodation to get to the exam in many cases, paid for revision materials; all when they'd already passed. Wasted their life revising for an exam they'd already passed. It's disgusting.
Yes, those definitely got screwed big time.

Republicans in Ohio passed a bill forcing children to undergo internal and external examination of their genitals by a doctor if their gender was "disputed" during their participation in sport.
You can't access the actual bill any more because the Ohio legislature website has been taken down, presumably by Trump/Musk
https://www.legislature.ohio.gov/
"A doctor will" is very different to "we want to".
EDIT: Not that I'm defending the bill mind.
Them trying to force the medical profession to play out their creepy power fantasies by proxy doesn't make it better.
It is when you're talking about school children.
Adults in competitive sports? I actually agree, especially when it comes to combat sports. I don't know all the solutions, but people who went through puberty under the influence of male hormones should not be boxing against women.
8 year olds playing football at school? Nah.

At that age most girls would probably batter most boys, or it would at least be an even split.
Yeah, but it's not just 8 year olds, is it. There's a reason why my 15 year old nephew doesn't play in the same football league as his similarly aged footballer girlfriend.
Let's not get away from the fact that this is an entirely imaginary problem.
There are no 14 year old transsexual boys looking to dominate girl sport.
My completely ill-informed and archaic view would be that people who tend towards transgenderism probably don't like sport all that much so it isn't something to worry too much about at kid level.
It's also just a madly difficult thing to have a completely coherent opinion on when you get folk like Semenya.
I don't disagree that enabling potentially life altering decisions to be made during childhood should probably be avoided as much as possible, but let's not get bogged down in the niche of the niche.
Perhaps what I'm saying is that 14 year old Castor Semenya is more of a threat to your little girl in sport than some blue haired identity crisis is ever likely to be, and nobody shits the bed worldwide about that prospect.
Semenya is a red herring. She was born that way and while it's a difficult one to deal with it isn't a reason to go "fuck it" and add a load more difficult things to deal with on top for fear of being called a transphobe.
Where does Maria Mutolo rank?
It's not a red herring if the thing you are worried about doesn't exist. If it is a genuine problem, then fine, but I'm not convinced it is.
All of kid sport is dominated by developmental difference to some extent.
Then it shouldn't be an issue either way, right? If they are banned from competing, who cares? There cannot be that many of them anyway, right? What about Semenya? Ban her, she is just one person, right?
These things were actually simple for a long, long time. Then the woke brigade decided to complicate them, and here we are now.
And adult sport by genetics. If we go that route, the only logical conclusion is to have no categories at all. I think the traditional men/women divide is better, and I assume most women would agree. Where do trans people go? In their biological gender. Ah, what about Caster? Either case by case basis, or men's division (aka the open/women division split).
Yeah, I agree, it's not a problem so either way it isn't something to get massively hysterical about. Can both sides of the argument be wrong?
It is a problem that should be dealt by sport federations, not the president of a country, that's for sure.
Agree, but with kids you also have age, which is quite an arbitrary one but we go with that, which is fine.
I have absolutely no problem with sports governing participation by sex at birth or whatever the era appropriate terminology is and I'm struggling to see how 'I don't give a fuck because this isn't actually a problem that exists' is being interpreted as some sort of extreme viewpoint in need of correcting, but there we are.
Not giving a fuck is perfectly valid, imo.
Why is this article accompanied by a picture that's been photoshopped so badly that those responsible for Kate Middleton's dodgy effort could even spot it?

Had a meeting with a Japanese guy today. Told me his wife was pregnant, but only 2 months, "so the head and the body didn't join together yet"...
Thankfully, his Japanese colleague laughed at him and called him an idiot.
To be fair to him, for all I can ever see on those ultrasound things it might as well be that.
Alright lads simmer down I fucking love trannies and there was nothing weird about what RL said. That you're all obsessed with where I stick my dick, like, fair play. Rent free.
That's just standard procedure if someone dies on a plane isn't it? I'm sure I've heard similar stories 3-4 times before.
EDIT: covering them and leaving them in a seat, not DS sticking his dick in them, trans or otherwise.
Why didn't he just move? You don't need to ask permission.
You don't get compensation if you move.
I shouldn't laugh at someone trying to Austin Powers a corpse but I will."They tried to wheel her up towards business class, but she was quite a large lady and they couldn’t get her through the aisle"![]()
I'd rather sit next to a corpse than most other people.
Corpse is lucky it wasn't an American flight, would have had to listen to the neighbour wank on about themselves the whole time.
They probably would have started to eat it.
Some interesting stuff in here.
Perhaps a lot of it can be classed as unsurprising but I find little factoids like:
Quite alarming.Children of first cousins have a third more primary care appointments than children whose parents are not related - an average of four instead of three a year.
Not so much for the disparity, but more the idea that on average every child in the country is going to the GP 3 times a year. Think my kids have probably had less than half a dozen trips to the doctor all in between the lot of them, whereas the average would suggest a number over 50 [it's actually 105]. This is what is breaking the health service.
