It's a coherent position if you have a particular understanding of consent: that children can meaningfully consent to this and child sex abusers can't. I disagree with this (and particularly strongly on the first) but I don't think it's fair to accuse them of hypocrisy.

I have always suspected "folks" arose as left-wing jargon in the US because it imitated the way lots of black people speak. It's fundamentally cultural appropriation.

Yes, in Northern Ireland speech "folks" is something I'd associate with older, rural people, though I'm not immune from using it myself.

There's a definite thing in white American left wing circles of appropriating black modes of speech, hence the pervasive "folks" (and worse, "y'all"). What they don't seem to realise is that lots of African American speech is really Deep South speech transferred to cities across the country.

Hence the social justice subreddits full of very white people from very white cities like Portland or Madison who say things like "hi folks, I would like to know y'all's opinion on this" as if they were characters from Smokey and the Bandit.

Of course it's a thousand times cringier when white English social justice types copy the American style.

The statement demonstrates that they haven't the foggiest understanding of equality law.

If 'women' includes some men, it becomes a heterogenous group, and it is no longer possible to explain why they need any distinct rights, or find a comparator to explain why they have suffered unlawful discrimination.

Therefore the law will not be changed.

It's the thing that seems most concerning, tbh.

This is the LBGT+ Libdems. What makes them lump paedophiles being chemically castrated in with children being given the same drugs?

I'm not supportive of chemical castration, fwiw. I suspect it's not a safe alternative to prison.

But I also think that children shouldn't be chemically castrated - even if they think they want to be. And even if the adults tasked with their care think they ought to be.

Agree - why are they apparently suggesting that this is relevant to LGBT issues? It's very odd.

Strangely the only time I use folks is when I say 'There's nowt as queer as folks', it's an oldy but useful, it comes from the days when queer meant touched in the head.
What goes around comes around because the proponents of Queer Theory are definitely touched in the head. 🤯
Any group of adults who want to castrate children, but think castrating the sexual predators of children is not civilized, are very much touched in the head.

As the UK Supreme Court can only interpret legislation by Parliament rather than strike it down, the solution is new primary legislation that amends the Equality Act to clearly set out trans-inclusive definitions of ‘man’ and ‘woman’, as the original writers of that Act have said they intended

Say what, now?

I’m from Yorkshire and I’m going to keep saying folk as enough of our local dialect is disappearing as it is.

Their clearly ignoring anything Sir Trev has to say, he doesn't fit in with their narrative, I guess.
I'm also struck by the term, 'strike it down' that really sounds American, because that's not something our SC is suppose to do and never has been, but I think the USA SC has that sort of power.
Someone should point out to the LibDem Alphabet Mafia that they're suppose to be affiliated with a British political party. 🙄

This lot were at the centre of what happened to Natalie Bird in terms of bullying. Nothing was done because they pretty much controlled the LDs at the time.

This is the type of thing that has made me politically homeless.

LibDems…apparently batshit

Greens…also batshit and full of creepy weirdos

Labour…totally captured

Tory…I’m Scottish, it’s illegal to vote for them up here

SNP…will never vote for them again after the attempt to throw every woman and girl in this country under a very big bus

Reform…no words needed

Crap indeed.
I admire every female (and the odd male) politician who has stuck their necks out over the woo ideology.
It feels like all our middle aged politicians have transed into blue haired, unwashed student activists.
Gah.

We still use folk(s) here in the arse end of rural Scotland, though it does vary by context -"how are your folks? " meaning how are your parents/grandparents etc. Otherwise it just refers to general people...

That statement aligning the LGBTQ++++ community to paedophilia and sex offenders is an own goal, as previously said, saying the quiet but our loud - aswell as being batshit!
