Someone please tell me that this isn't true and is some kind of piss take. Or that there is more to the story or something.

The world really has gone mad.

(Sorry Angelos. My autocorrect made you into Andreas. TWICE!
I blame it on me being crap at 6.52am)

How will it all end? Hopefully like this, a short film Angelos Sofocleous linked to a couple of weeks back

Glad to see he (Andreas Sofocleous) isn’t going quietly into the night.

*waves at Andreas, should he come across this.

For those who subscribe to the definition of woman as an adult human female, women do not have penises.
For those others, who reject that definition, there is, frankly, no way to say one way or the other, until they come up with an alternative definition, which by definition needs to be noncircular and verifyable.
This habit of sacking and bullying people for saying who is or isn‘t a Woman is quite remarkable considering that the people doing the sacking have no way of defining who is or isn‘t a woman. Hard to believe that we are not living in the middle of a Kafka novel, actually.

Women don't have penises.

Good comments below that article

Penis trumps truth.

It’s crazy isn’t it?

This student union officer gets the immediate boot for sharing a Spectator article on Twitter, yet a national student union officer, Jess Bradley got their ladypenis out in their workplace and posted actual photos online and 6 weeks later the investigation is still ongoing.
