Stu, Stating things bluntly (presenting as fact) without some modifier (such as “in my view” or “the evidence supports”) just makes you look like a complete @rse; unfortunately you then double down on this with your own views which you then attempt to present as fact. I’m not sure this perception f...

A delusion is real to the person experiencing it - but others not experiencing it don't have to accept its concrete reality, Jim.

That's the word I was looking for last night when I was writing my point. You wouldn't tell a person whose intersex they don't exist so why is he stating non-binary people don't? People exist, regardless of what labels they attach to the selves. Intersex is a concrete reality; it is biological. One...

Well that settles that... the gender guru has spoken! We can all go home now, someone hit the lights on the way out. There is also no such thing as the color blue. There is such a thing as the colour blue. There is no such thing as non-binary. Sex is either male or female. That's all. Gender, i.e. ...

There is no such thing as a straight man who just wants to wear a skirt. You are all just deluded.. Not sure why you are saying that, but I guess it is just tongue-in-cheek. The term "non-binary" frequently represents a rejection of socially constructed and heteronormative gender roles, r...

Because...? What about people who want to be unequivocally non-binary? There is no such thing as non-binary. I don't think I need people to be able to identify my children's sex from their taste in fashion. It is a normal human response to want to be able to recognise others as being either male or...

Thanks for posting the link. To be honest, I am always deeply suspicious when someone says they are a "proud feminist" and they then go on to talk about males. It should be remembered that mainstream feminism is not an equality movement and no longer claims to be: it is concerned exclusive...

There's no need develop mens skirts. ... Even with my thin hips, skirts still fit me as well as trousers. I have learned a few tips along the way: 1. Marks and Spencer sizes are a bit small for me and can vary. I definitely need size 16, don't even look at 14. 2. Next is a bit bigger and a 14 will ...

We are seeing the expensive fashion houses have been offering skirts specifically for men for some years, but tend to have an odd look, offered at extremely high prices, aimed at wealthy metropolitans and they haven't caught on as mainstream. More recently, we have seen a few High Street brands like...

Thanks for that explanation. I had assumed the syllable To in Tokyo was the same as in Kyoto. That makes sense, now.

Learning Kanji sounds like a nightmare!

Are there any Japanese speakers on here? If so, I have a question:

The Japanese written form of Tokyo is 東京. So why is Kyoto written 京都 rather than 京東?

Any ideas?

How can you possibly compare a changing room where you can take off your underwear and put on your swimmers in under 30 seconds while facing a wall, and a "naturist view"? I take your point - the naturist view is the extreme opposite end of the spectrum. It's considered polite to not look...

It is unfortunate that, seen from one point of view, finding mixed nakedness to be unremarkable is seen as an 'ism' which brands someone as part of a movement. The other point of view sees avoidance of mixed nakedness as over-sensitivity which brands someone as part of a 'nanny' culture. Neither is...

Stu, I have no idea how this ties in with MIS's. But, just to toss a a little 'bombette' into a topic that I think needs consideration-- but on another site: Why all the fuss about gender divided rooms period -- I suspect a huge number of our crazy problems and notions would be resolved if we all s...

The answer to your particular situation is individual changing, showering or toilet cubicles - which could be provided for very little more outlay than communal changing rooms (with a few larger ones for parents with children). They don't need to be segregated by sex or gender, or hair colour or sk...
