Wow. Have you seen all the Pride and Trans flags flying in the audiences at Glastonbury?

Why is this chessboard covered in pigeon shit?

Back on topic, I've seen far less pride stuff in the shops this year too. Barely anything in my local Tesco, though there was a section in the free magazine they do, featuring a very brave gay man working for gay rights in Africa, and two trans people, one man and one woman.

Yes, it feels far more lowkey than previous years. Though (some of) Sainsbury's poor staff were given Pride tops to wear! But even taking that into account, it's certainly not as in your face, I don't think. Which is nice!

Explain

no

be less homophobic and bigoted (since we're doing direct commands)

I must say, watching Eagle go from high-handed finger-wagging to utterly losing it has been enjoyable, if a little repetitive.

My opinions and views havent changed. I know that on this thread the majority would think differently to me. I've often looked at threads under this topic and know it's the most extreme corner of mumsnet thinking.

yeah, my very behind the times company has finally got into pride month this year which pretty much tells you it's over i think!

haven't been to regent street this year. last june all the hanging flags gave it an uncanny resemblance to the nuremburg rallies. have they done similar this year does anyone know?

Because you cant explain that's why! You know your statement was wrong.

ah yes, that'll be it.

and definitely not that you've already had an excellent explanation of why you come across as a massive homophobic bigot from *CassOle *at 11.33 this morning

Knowing that men are not women is not 'extreme'.

There may be trans flags waved in the crowd

but the stickers on the Block 9 mural show that lots of sane women were / are at the festival

I'm still waiting.

I'm being repetitive due to the number of people quoting me or @ me. I'm replying.

Well currently there are centres that help both men and women under the one roof. Anyone in there needs help. Dont know why the transgender issue would change that.

Well there is a massive problem when women can't be guaranteed a women only group session, and a TIM is present. These are traumatised women and a man is in the room. See the ongoing Brighton case.

Oh come on. It's literally only been weeks since we could even say that.

Anything resembling 'extremism' would have been reported, deleted and the poser banned.

I dont need to read anyone else's posts to determine whether I'm a homophobic person. I'm waiting for you to justify calling me that.

Extreme as in more than the usual negativity found on MN.

and I won't be doing that other than pointing you at an existing very clear explanation of why you come across as a homophobe

sad times for you

maybe some introspection on how to come across as less of a homophobic bigot is in order?

No I think a better understanding from you is in order! If you cant tell me why you think I'm a homophobe then I think it's obvious you now realise its nonsense

You are mistaken. Just everyday women here, Unless you are thinking we are unusual and uppity! Which would say a lot more about you than you’d probably like to admit…

“Transwomen are men” isn’t extremism It’s the truth, enshrined in law and based in reality. I hope that helps.

I don't disagree with the biology either. I'm definitely not the airy fairy type who thinks you can be a potato if you wish it hard enough.

You understand biology, so you must agree single-sex facilities are needed due to biology.
