I sure did. It’s taken mea longtime to get passed it, and the only reason I’m in the queue for a RAV4 is because I know they have the best hybrid system, and it will no doubt be the only brand new car I ever get!

For instance, I was told to walk behind the men, those onthe same level as me, being paid more and yet not as qualified as me. Keep your head down when you see the big boss.

Not only a fake woman, but not even an athlete. The trans-formation of society continues.

What's a paranoid loon to do without a new panic?

First, it was Muslims taking over the world. Now, its trans folks taking over society, something only a billionth as likely as Muslims taking over the world, itself a billionth as likely as any unlikely thing you care to name.

It's astonishing how the far right takes up Putin's fixations so readily.

Are you married? To a woman?

How does she feel about buying a sports bra based on how comfy and well fitted it is on literally a man in a bra? A man who has never even played sport, so no boobs, no bounce, no idea!


And if you’re not married to a woman you can ask, or you’re not a woman, why do you think you know how women feel about this?

This is in no way ok, it’s fricking ridiculous
The world has gone mad

SA Government is trans-forming away from gender pronouns so all people are now referred to as they, them etc etc.

:shock: Heeeeeeeeeelp! I barely survived Muslims, with their different times and dress and Halal burgers! How will I ever cope with trans people and their ambiguous genders?

Let's face it, I can't even count past two genders, let alone distinguish between a pronoun and a proper noun; someone save me from this nightmare! Fundamentalist Christian Americans a century out of time who want the government to enforce maternity and childbirth at the threat of state punishment told me it's bad, and they liked my post on Facebook, so it must be! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp! Someone save me from this nightmare of complexity before my tiny pea-sized brain explodes!

His Majesty King Charles is now to be referred to as The Sovereign King Charles, because, you know, it's now offensive to refer to a male with the 'his' pronoun.

It's good you can't count past two genders, as in SA, you only need to count to 1.

Getting upset over who’s modelling in some corporate sportswear ad is the definition of pathetic. Get a life!
