The UK is officially an intolerant hellhole for transwomen

Oh dear I didn't read all the article - just the first half or so. Yes I imagine that this will be logged as a trans death due to being housed in the "wrong" prison and increase support for people like swifty to be housed with the women.

This person had a lot of mental health issues and in general the suicide rates need serious attention - and self harm - abuse - all of it.

None of this is any reason to put trans women in with women though, and espeically not transwomen who have functioning cocks and / or accusations or convictions around violence against women of any type.

I mean this should be obvious but apparently it's not

Regarding sexual attraction I'm with the physical type - it has to be a certain type of person.

I'm no longer sexually active with another person and I'm not expecting to be for sometime soon. However I still find pleasure with myself, so I guess I'm still sexually active.

One thing I do know now, if I'm no longer attracted to that person then I cannot have sex with them. If I'm not in the mood then sex will not happen.

I do not understand those who have 'duty sex' because if you don't then you will lose them, because a strong and binding relationship should recover from 'dry spells'.

This Huffington Post article by Ruth Hunt, Chief Exec of Stonewall, is going around on Facebook. 'Britain is no longer considered a safe part of the world for trans people to live in':

Hmm, at this rate the UK will have to open its first Cat A prison for women offenders to house rapists, murderers and the like. Be a hell of a concidence if they mostly turned out (barring the odd Rosemary West/Myra Hyndley) to be trans.

That might actually be the perfect way round it.

However, as a 'female', Swift will be added to the statistics of 'females who kill'.

He wasn't a woman when he died but that won't be recorded.

Women's prison for "swifty" I assume...

No, Doncaster is male.

The fact they've said "legally named Jonathan" is encouraging as it suggests the media are actively looking for ways round Ipso guidelines in these cases. Which I am pleased about

Also the verbatim reports from the eyewitness who was under no illusions as to the sex of the murderer.

And yes about 'graysexual'

Sorry I just skimmed so didn't catch usernames but it is younger people that are pushing it. And they are loud about it too. It seems mostly because institutions are scared of being labelled bigot or not inclusive enough. It damages reputations.

They give younger people a bad rep. The irony isn't lost when the people claiming science is a social construct are white middle class 20 somethings that have received redbrick uni education. It's just unbelievable.

queen swift hung themselves before they could be charged.

Will they be added to the stats of trans people who have committed suicide because of transphobia?

In that case, sign me up! (Greysexual that is).

Am I the only one who thought that greysexual meant older people haveing sex?

Women's prison for "swifty" I assume...

I’m heterosexual, but there are definitely times when I’m asexual.

I’m sure there are for most women.

(but still...)

I think the explanation was that for an asexual person, the relevant sexual desire that is lacking is towards a particular person.

It would seem that you can have a woman who is asexual while being hetero-romantic and in a long term relationship with her male partner. At times the asexual woman will have a high libido and thus will have sex with her partner. However, the asexuality comes from her not being that fussed about it being him she's having the sex with.

No, me neither.

This thread is so odd. The idea of an assexual person with a high libido is almost as hard to get my head round as female penises to be quite honest...

Anyone seen the latest news about a 'female' murderer....

I too thought grey sexual was all about Saga generation. Like the grey pound.

I hadn’t thought about as to whether it was the persuer, or the pursued.

Which just goes to show how little I think about any of it.

OneFlewOverTheDodosNest That was a massive generalisation on my part but I really hope that you're right. I hope that we're just hearing those who shout the loudest.

Am I the only one who thought that greysexual meant older people haveing sex?

I thought it meant being sexually attracted to older people.

Knusper I think there's a stronger focus on the younger generation who complain about all these things because they're the ones who make the noise, complaining about "exclusionary" terminology and campaigning to get toilets changed.

Nobody pays attention to the students who volunteer with St John's ambulance because they've always done that, even though they make up a large proportion of the night crew, but if there's a possible headline of the latest crazy thing being pushed by students (even if it's a group of 30 in a whole uni) then that's going to get the focus.

Have relationships, don't have relationships, have sex, don't have sex ... I don't really see the need to come out about it though - just live, why on earth dwell on it so much?

I couldn't agree more. People should conduct their relationships in any legal, consensual way they see fit. Or not, if they're not interested. After that, who cares?

What on earth happened to young people (big generalisation here - sorry Shania!) campaigning on wider issues like poverty, racism, nuclear proliferation, the environment? Identity politics just seems so self focussed.

Am I the only one who thought that greysexual meant older people haveing sex?

Yay Shania! thank you for restoring my belief in the younger generation!
