I was at a work thing last year where a trans staff member was wheeled out on stage in front of a group of workers while some aul one lectured staff on what to do if someone asks them where the toilets are. The trans person was cleary uncomfortable and sure why wouldnât they be. It was bizzare.
Iâd say everyone was uncomfortable 
Thatâs David Brent type shit
So what do you do if someone asks you where the toilet is?
Actually now that I recall there was a gay traveller chap up there with them. Both of them just sitting side by side while this one ranted on about the jacks. Brent would have cringed at it.
Well thats just bad luck right there.
No doubt it happens but people will play the cards their dealt and for some expressing that identity might be have been very difficult so no issue with them embracing it. Even if that verges on leaning on it. No there are some who consider a part of their identity to be the whole thing, trumping character and acts, thinking it shields them from criticism and thatâs hard to take and wrong.
Iâd have a far bigger issue with others, especially online,who would use anotherâs identity to sneer at the world to try show how much âbetterâ and enlightened they themselves are.
You donât ask them âwhichâ toilets they are looking for. You point them in the direction of the nearest one.

What if theyâre equally close?
What if ones upstairs and the others downstairs?
What if the person isnt trans and wanted the ladies, but you send them to the mens, and then they shit themselves trying to make it to the ladies.
This is a minefield.
That Linehan seems like a vile, oddball creep. Itâs gas when celebrities reveal something of themselves like this. Whyâs he bothered by transgender people anyway? Of course, itâs the âwoke brigadeâ that get pilloried then when people take issue with him. God be with the days when TFK was a safe refuge for left leaning, anti-RNLI, barstool republicans. Weâve titled somewhat now and thereâs a broad church of whataboutery merchants and white supermacists (cc @Arthur). I say fair play to Hozier for using his profile to smack Linehan down when Linehan was using his own to take potshots at a minority group.
Up the Ra.

It is.
Linehan has absolutely called out the hypocrisy of all this nonsense. He hasnât been offensive towards trans people. Heâs saying nobody is saying trans rights arenât human rights. And he is right.
Heâs nailed it here. Nobody really gives a fuck about feminism in the Western World any more because that cause is all over bar the shouting here. While in other parts of the World women are mutilated, nobody gives a fuck though, theyâre too busy shouting for human rights they already have.
Selfish pricks
He has pretty much committed career suicide though, because you arenât allowed to voice an opinion that diverges from the mobs

His career was over anyway.
Do you miss your safe space?
this is what he was responding to.
JK Rowling was defending her right to be called a woman, while being sympathetic with trans people and the trans crowd turned on her
some horrible shit was said to her, but the woke supported the trans
the best one is the one who accused Rowling of destroying her childhood
Thatâs Harry Potter gone now as well
I know, I posted it in the agenda thread. She had every right to say what she likes. That flake Radcliffe even came out against her, I knew he was a bad un from the time he was fluting around with young boys in Dublin.

apologies I didnât see it.
Harry Potter is racist as fuck - 10 books denouncing black magic and the dark lord.
Itâs a rip off of LOTR ffs.
star wars - obi wan is gandalf like
I read somewhere that JK Rowling was the only person to become a billionaire but then lose that status by giving so much to charity. Doesnât matter though if she likes the wrong things on twitter apparently
