Its them omitting the word women for the fear of upsetting an infinitely small number of transmen right after we had the lancet referring to women as "bodies with vaginas", and before that birthing people, people with vulvas etc.

I guess it was either upset the infinitely small number of trans men or upset the seemingly infinitely large number of people like yourself who inexplicably care about things like this and fortunately they absolutely knocked it out of the park and chose to upset the correct group of people.

They absolutely have. Especially if the comment section is anything to go by.
 
Imagine being offended by something that has feck all to do with you because you don't want the thing you're offended by not offending people that it has an actual impact on.

It was the CDC that used the term pregnant people originally, so the morons are getting upset at the wrong people.

I guess you disagree with the morons and think that medical institiutions should stop using the word "Women" for a adult female human beings which is the textbook definition of women.

You do know that it's not just women who can get pregnant?

It is odd isn't it? Many are the type to deliberately use he/she to upset a trans person. It seems like simple courtesy to me. Costs me nothing and why would you do the opposite of what is being asked?

Beyond the statistics are the personal recollections. I watched the Queen’s coronation in Pall Mall in 1953, yearning for a toy golden coach. In 1977, I panicked at losing my small daughter in the dark at a village jubilee bonfire. At Charles and Diana’s wedding fireworks, we got scarily crushed in the Hyde Park crowds. On Friday I’ll be with family at the ancient, once-every-20-years Pole Fair in Corby, Northamptonshire.

Something we can all relate to, I'm sure

Reading into this now and it seems like an incredibly simple idea with added hype. It's basically an online version of apprenticeships, which offers some free course material, and gives you a chance at getting some lowly paid positions at the end of it. I'm talking £20k for jobs in central London. And there's only around 30 currently available.
 
They've had a hard on for the war-crim's son for a few days now, across multiple articles, extolling his wealth and privilege. Fecking weirdo newspaper.

The "lefts" reaction to the ruling is so at odds with reality. I've unfollowed the Guardian and Independent this week as they're trying to push an agenda down my neck.

The only person who's harmed the metoo movement in that case, is Amber Heard. Instead of admitting they chose the wrong side, they are doubling down.

Very sad imho, there a lot that could be said even if one has an issue with the ruling. Of course it's hard work to talk to legal experts and speak about the results from a professional position, so easy to write up your emotional reaction.

If you're going to suggest the verdict wasn't right surely you need a highly technical analysis full of examples from previous cases?

Of course I don't even want to stick my neck on this forum and talk about how she seemed like a liar in testimony, much less on the Guardian. It sounds like the media made their mind up already, and going against that current may put a journalists career in danger.

But if citizens don't respect the results of jury trials we've got real problems, undermining that seems like a bad idea for the gatekeepers of culture.

Its pretty normal for a woman to stick out for another woman.

Why am I expected to cheer for an ethnic minority Prime Minister who will only entrench inequality?

What is the message to these little Black and brown children that we imagine should become all starry-eyed at the selection of potential future leaders?

That if they simply attend a private school, get an Oxbridge degree, marry into multi-million pound dynasties and befriend powerful people in the media, banking and politics industries then – gather round children – you too can peddle division, plunge people into poverty and get your own grandma deported!

Hardly the pinnacle of social mobility and cohesion.

From the Rwanda plan, the cost-of-living crisis and cuts to vital public services, the Tories have presided over a climate in which communities of colour, those living in poverty and those systemically marginalised face further struggle, suffering and structural inequality.

A non-white face will do nothing to change this and it makes me angry and frustrated that people see representation as so fickle, so hollow, that the installation of a Prime Minister Sunak, Badenoch or Braverman in Number 10 was presented as an end goal. Racism conquered.

Communities of colour – decimated by a decade of austerity, institutional racism in schools and the police, as well as the legacies of Windrush and Grenfell – deserve more than to be the opportune and temporary concern of politicians whose policies ensure that people like their own families would never be able to enter Britain, let alone thrive here.

It is almost dystopian. Perhaps if it didn’t have such dire real-life consequences, it would be laughable to think that politicians who have presided over the orchestration of the hostile environment policy, the Rwanda plan and Brexit now want to be viewed positively by those in minority communities, simply in order to score relatability points.

Good rant I thought.
