@Uzonna7 A man dressed up as a woman, in a vulnerable position where he could have got his head kicked in by homophobic men who hated his cross-dressing/femininity - just rescued himself by appealing to a common hatred of women and ugly womanly things like menstruation? Male bonding ❤️
@LibDems@EdwardJDavey What an empty virtue-signalling statement. ‘British values’ don’t equal women’s rights then? Shall we just ignore them? Bloody hell.
@cix_stormrage@Glinner@Tara__Hughes Agreed. Is he identifying as a she or is he just a boy with beautiful hair, great connections & a pretty cool name? To be honest I think it’s an excellent diminutive of the name Wilfred & rather cool & gender neutral. Not great to lay into a child like this.
@IsntWorkingPod@UniofOxford What environment has been fostered at his Uni that makes him think that this costume is appropriate? He obvs has no sense (or care) as to how it impacts his interactions with others. Where no student/staff feels able to object? A place being held hostage by fear. So oppressive 🙁
@PiersUncensored@piersmorgan@rustyrockets He thinks words, and words that are arcane and convoluted, will interfere with simple understanding ‘the evident hedonic’ for example. Piers, stop navigating Russell into a certain position, ya bugger!
@NadiaWhittomeMP You think you’re being kind & accommodating - ‘efforts to narrow the definition of womanhood’ aren’t efforts to distort or falsify meaning - they’re simply defining meaning. I know I’m a woman. You know you’re a woman. A transwoman knows they’re a transwoman. No cruelty involved.
@BettsCaro WTF is all this monstering of Beth Ditto?! Nasty, sexist shite. Jolyon may be dancing like a prize twat but Beth is a woman and the way both men and women are speaking about her on here, is f**ng depressing 😡
On this day, the 11th February, 1852, the first public flushing toilet for women opened at 51 Bedford Street, Strand. This marked a crucial, if tentative, step toward addressing the needs of women in public spaces.
While men's facilities had existed in rudimentary forms for centuries, women's access was severely limited, often confining them to private homes or select venues like department stores.
Separate sex toilets were essential to this revolution. Men's facilities often included urinals for quick use, while women's required cubicles for privacy during menstruation, changing sanitary products, or other needs that left users vulnerable. Mixed or inadequate provisions would have perpetuated exclusion, as women faced heightened risks of harassment, discomfort, or health issues like urinary tract infections from holding in urine. This separation ensured dignity, safety, and accessibility, allowing both sexes; but especially women, to break free from domestic confines and contribute to society.
@daniellismore Love how you’re so blatant about the success of your self-promotion - is that what this posting splurge is all about? I suggest you focus on gathering your thoughts & thinking b4 posting - quality rather than quantity? I know excess is your forte but this subject deserves better
@daniellismore Daniel I love your Bowery-esque flamboyance & fantastic costumes but your thinking on this seems uncharacteristically ‘muddy’ - you conflate sexuality & sex with all this Bowie & Prince stuff (I love them both) - I love gender non-conformity but I recognise the reality of ‘sex’
@daniellismore@PhilJohnGoode1 And? He was a highly sexual human being - I’d hazard a guess that he knew he was sleeping with a transsexual person and didn’t think he was sleeping with a woman - taking a walk on the wildside and all that? You’re confusing sexuality with sex!
@daniellismore 2/2 No one expected us to pretend they were anything other than someone NOT confirming to rigid, restrictive stereotypes - which most of us HATE & have fought against all our lives. Trans activists reinforce rigid stereotypes while claiming they’re breaking them down - baffling!
@daniellismore I genuinely can’t understand why you don’t realise that most people absolutely LOVED how men could embrace creativity & flamboyance in their performance and dress. But they never demanded that we redefine what male & female meant - it was a purely personal expression 1/2
@daniellismore Roy’s character was seen as a bit of a freakish outsider. The fact he found love with a transsexual had a poignancy that people had sympathy and compassion for but Hayley was a female actor not a transwoman. Today the actress would be vilified, writers sacked, THATs what changed
@daniellismore Young trans men always welcome at Girl Guides. Girls can be non-conforming & free to be themselves without altering their bodies with surgeries and cross-sex hormones. Inclusion for all girls in single-sex spaces - 3rd spaces for trans & those who want to share in certain circs
