Shake me up Judy 4,688 Posted December 9, 2018 That's where all this stuff ends; fellas in pleated mini skirts and knickers flouncing around a court, whacking a tennis ball and twirking their ass. Is this what we're all supposed to sign up to in the name of trans-gender awareness ? What a brave new world this is. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this what we're all supposed to sign up to in the name of trans-gender awareness ? What a brave new world this is. I would venture to say this new world is full of wimps, too scared to offend anyone to the point that everything which was black or white is now varying shades of grey. Just had yet another email from a very British clothing firm, wishing me a Happy Holiday. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul's got wright 607 Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) They would be in the women's game obviously! Have a look there and get your eye in, see if you can see any. It may have already happened. It may not have. The point is, a level playing field for both male and female compettitors. That is the point i am making. Take the men in skirts issue to smuj, it wasnt my claim x Edited December 9, 2018 by paul's got wright Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quilp 9,550 Posted December 20, 2018 Oh I understand it alright. You're one cheeky bastard... And then there's this madness; the National Lottery Fund were about to donate half a million quid to a 'charity' which promotes irreversible biological and physical changes to children before they're able to give informed consent.
