It’s time I passed a bit on sleeping or trying to sleep (although I desperately need it) and loaded up some heavy hitters…308 and 303.

I need to go bush! The way the world is going with WOKES, trans (who are Psychiatrically sick in my mind), imbeciles who believe men can get pregnant, more imbecile trans males who say they menstruate from their anus every month, the so-called intelligent people in positions of power and/or influence who say trans MEN, YES MEN, must be given the benefit of doubt when they say they could possibly fall pregnant. Where do I stop…I can no longer accept the way the world is going…society has lost the plot, the inmates are now running the Asylum and they are now sicker than ever!!! I’ve had a gut full…I’m over it completely.

Right there with you Vince. And we've got the most ignorant generation in ages voting now. I have no idea how this is going to end but I'm not hopeful.

I say sir or ma'm NOT he/she/them/they/ transgender. If they don't like it, they can kiss my a$$.

There are no alphbets, just man/woman. They can be gay, I don't care.

That’s another thing that really irks me…GAY - Historically, the word "gay" meant carefree, merry, bright, or showy. It wasn’t until the mid-20th century that it was widely adopted by the LGBTQ+ community as a way to self-identify, eventually replacing more clinical medical terms.
This, to me, is the correct meaning of the world GAY…I have other terms for those in the LBTQ community.

As for addressing anybody showing “preferred pronouns”, they are addressed as “mate” or “pal” or as their, to me, obvious gender…I never address trans males as a woman as to me they are a man.

But that’s getting away from the thread…I need to do some reloading so I can try to organise some recoil therapy, God knows I desperately need some.

Dame edna had it correct..."hello possums"
Ive got more tolerant as Ive aged ,working with Kitty who was born male but changed in late 50s was enlightening....I still have same way of dealing with people I always have..you do you but keep it to yourself and we wont have a problem.
yes Vince,some times we just need to go sit on side of a hill with binos and a bangstick...
dont stress about the things you can do nothing about Mate..... its futile and only harms YOU....

I remember the Scottish dance troupe The Gay Gordon's from the '50's and early '60's.

And, of course, who doesn't love Dame Edna?
