GC dating

I’m so fed up of dating sites with pronouns and pride flags.
If you are GC, single and trying to date, how do you signal that and where do you go?

Have you seen the Alison Bailey ruling thread regarding her veterinary service she won a case in county court

She won the principle in law that you cannot discriminate against a GC person in the supply of goods and services.

So i suggest you amend your profile to GC believer, or sex realist or whatever suits.

if the provider of the dating app intervenes or you become a target then the provider must protect you from discrimination.

And not pick on you.

if the provider fails to, or declines the service you can threaten legal action, and employ a solicitor. Flowing from that you can apply to JKR fund to pursue a legal action and i am pretty sure that you would get it.

that will keep you busy until the right person shows up in your life.

I guess it would take some guts to do it and there is a certain amount of projection on my part here as an older person.

if i was young given our wins i would deffo put my big girl pants on and kick some arse.

not that it helps your dating situation maybe a spot of notoriety might heighten your profile and interested potential partners.

And yes i jest you not.

I was on the various apps and dating until around a year ago when I met someone lovely.
It was also something that I was concerned about but turned out not to be a big deal.
Most people, as evidenced by recent opinion polls, are aware of the issues and tend to be on the sex realist side.
Gender extremists will almost always have virtue-signalling in their profiles (pronouns, 'no terfs' etc) so quite easy to avoid..
I understand not wanting to put 'GC' or 'sex realist' on a profile. It can mean risking abuse from TRAs.
If you're a reader or into fantasy or scifi, then JK Rowling is a good way to introduce the subject. Say you're looking forward to the Harry Potter TV remake or love the Strike novels, either on profile or in conversation and see what the reaction is.

You'll either get a 'Oh my god, she's so evil' or a response that's more measured and ends up in you both rolling your eyes at all the genderwang.

The vast majority of people agree with you anyway, so don't worry about it. It's as common a view as liking chips or a nice cup of tea. Just don't engage with people with loads of flags and stuff on their profiles who are clearly signalling to you that they have these specific beliefs, just like you might not go on Muzz match if you're not Muslim, or more trivially, you might avoid people with cat ear filters or holding big fish or have the words "no drama" anywhere in their profile. It's just all about matching preferences with dating sites.

I'd guess that heterosexual men are the part of the population least likely to hold strongly pro-trans views. The exceptions would be those men generally into every kind of woo, and men involved in organizations that support all the progressive causes.

I'm sure you'll love the reform voters who are your only bedfellows...

In polling 63% of the UK population agree with the Supreme Court ruling with only 18% against. About 50% of us don't even think that anyone should be able to change their gender (35% think it should be permitted).
Even the most optimistic supporters of Reform UK Party Ltd wouldn't claim 50-60% support.

Once again the appeal to tribalism, much like the appropriation of gay and lesbian rights and civil rights. 🤔 TRAs seem unable to build a case for trans rights (to appropriate opposite sex spaces and services) that can stand on its own.

I think most people do the he/him either unthinkingly or to be kind. Some will be into the issues. I don't think most will.

Might be different in same sex dating, not sure, and perhaps by age group.

That's said, I find a man doing the he/him thing a bit pathetic and off putting, but then I swipe left on everyone and only window shop these days 😁

Bollocks. You genderists can’t do anything without lying. But then it’s all built on a lie so…..
