LGBT month - This is a weird event to have during work time...

It’s all very well being naive rather than malicious, but it’s seriously stupid about safeguarding. Reckless. Wrongheaded.

And it’s the whole ‘useful idiot’ stuff. He maybe a useful idiot, but someone somewhere has different motivations. It’s all a bit Overton Window.

Right

Now how should HR manage the display of genitalia on work monitors in an open plan office?

"I know it's optional to attend"

The don't attend? Seemplez.

3D printing and wax modelling to represent transgender, intersex and cisgender perineal anatomy.
I call this work based sexual abuse.

D you put the tandoori marinade on before or after? Just asking for a curry mad friend.

You could probably cobble together a fairly realistic neo vagina by skinning a couple of chicken breasts and sewing the skins into an open ended pouch.

If you did have a DSD you might have a micropenis, or hypospadias (failure of penis to develop normally, ranges from urethral meatus being a bit off line to very major abnormalities) or abnormal clitoral development or abnormal internal reproductive tract & urinary tract - but strictly speaking I think your actual perineum would be normal. Of course many people with a DSD have an entirely normal reproductive tract (Klinefelter's syndrome being the prime example).
I may be entirely wrong - but anatomically the genitals are not part of the perineum. Definitely altered by childbirth! Bet they don't discuss that in the workshop.

Funny how they persist in using intersex rather than DSD because the word suggests that humans can be 2 sexes. Which they can’t.

Haven't read the full thread - but isn't the perineum the bit inbetween and around your bits - and not the actual genitals themselves - so is the same in everyone?

In response to PP I was going to sign up but didn't because I am not going to be forced to use Microsoft teams.

Any how found this timetable which I think is meant to enlighten staff at the University.

Sorry to OP as this doesn't respond to that, but it is a joy(?) to read - Not https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/events/lgbtq-history-month

On another thread people are talking about a woman suing doctors for botched genital surgery.

Doctors eventually had to remove “a severely deformed, scarred and nonfunctional structure that was intended to serve as phallus,” the suit alleges.

Are they going to have 3-D models of this?

Or even what it was meant to be? A rolled up piece of arm skin stitched into a woman's groin, with fake testicles used to pump it up with saline solution?

I'm guessing not...

I’d question whether it was not terribly inappropriate to risk othering trans people in this way, and objectifying their genitals for prurience’ sake!

We discussed the predatory nature of that show on here at the time with their aim of "using pleasure as a vehicle for consent" - targeted at children aged 5 and above !!!

Proud Trust did Playdoh genitals.

Here is that twit. Even the title of the show was enough. How does she think that would have sounded to any child who was victim of CSA?

Humm....
could have been them (as well) but my memory was more of a dedicated "show and tell" event.

Cant recall.the details now. Was it 'the family sex show'? And good god, how did anyone decide that was an appropriate name?

Was that not (or also) a public educational "artwork" aimed at childrens days out /school tours?

Didnt that weirdo group do sex ed.for kids where they got them to make clay models of genitals?

They'll either make a profit by laying off staff and/or the rest of our work schedules will dictated by algorithms programmed at speeds the human brain was not designed for.

I'm beginning to freshly appreciate the prescient writings of 1960’s dystopian futuristic authors in which they envision how technology has progressed to such an extent that it has damaged our humanity and destroyed an ability to live a meaningful life.

Sorry, posted twice.

I've looked at the link but can't see if it's open to the public too. I'm a bit nervous about clicking on it, so maybe I'll check out the uni's website to see.

If there's one type of body which has been 'othered' through the years, it's the female type which has typically only been of interest to science when it has a baby growing inside it.
