Seems to relate perfectly to any discussion on transgender rights/issues. The convoluted ways that trans supporters will resort to to back up their arguments?!

An excellent word. Foreshadowing the arrival of the bendy bus. 😁

This thread has great potential. Any other archaic or made up words that might relate to the sex/gender debate (The Meaning of Liff springs to mind)
Bonkwaste - an Incel

Circumbages - instances of indirectness or deviousness in speaking or writing. Many a TRA discussion falls into this category. Thanks op, I am well and truly down various rabbit holes 😂

This is crying out for a rework by Dickens of Bleak House with an Office of Circumbendibus and maybe even an Officer of Circumbendibus or a Beadle/Conductor of Circumbendibus.

Oh, I thought it was the latest proposal for mass transport around Leeds.

I wrote this on a thread the other day: Susie Dent is 100% gender critical.

She posted that word on the day the IOC came out with their trans sports guidance.

She posted the following on the day that Laurel Hubbard came last in the Olympics without even registering one lift:

A playful collection of words from the 19th century:

goshbustified: excessively pleased.
absquatulate: to leave in a hurry.
dumfungled: exhausted and all used up.
hornswoggle: to bamboozle or deceive.
