Gender fluid...!

[YamFazFan]

'Gender fluid' or just a total mess? The kid will suffer all kinds of torment at school, through no fault of his own.

There's a clip of a Russell Brand interview in that link where he declares that his child will be raised gender neutral.

That settles it for me. It's all about attention seeking :rolleyes

Mind you I wouldn't dare say that to the mum/dad in the main story. It says he/she used to be a pub bouncer! :eek

Right, because the problem is with *that* child's parents and in NO WAY the fault of the parents of the little bastards who will bully and torment them...

As you probably know full well, anything that strays from the 'norm' does incite some form of bullying - just look at what kids go through at school if they have to wear glasses. I am in no way saying it is right but I am just pointing out what's going to happen. That kids life could be hell and all because the parents think it's cool/funky/modern.

Russell Brand is an attention seeking gobshite prick, who's still on a drugs 'come down' 10 years after he "supposedly" quit.
Just hearing a few words of him talking on telly is enough for me to change channels.

Here’s an interesting one brought to my attention the other day that’s in The Bible apparently.
I doubt it’s mentioned too much in church though, probably due to the massive hypocrisy.

Look up LEVITICUS 20:13

See http://commonsenseatheism.com/?p=1914 for more details...

Not quite sure of your point there, i've already explained my views on religion, it's all a load of made up outdated lies and drivel to me.
In fact if they were excerpts from the Bible then that's probably the most i've ever read of it in my life.

Some things in life are just shit, simple as that.
Going all out to go off the beaten track is asking for trouble if truth be told.
Good luck to him if he grows up to be a decent and possibly stronger adult for all the crap that WILL affect his childhood. There's no ifs or buts about this one, he's got a mountain to climb and it's not gonna be easy or pleasant.
As for the bullies, again, shit happens. We had them when i was a kid, and i'm sure, world wide, they're still dominating the schools as we speak.
It's not an ideal planet we live on for sure, but there are certain things that can be avoided to make the journey in life just that little bit easier, and in this case that responsibility lands firmly on this kids messed up parents. In fact i doubt we can even begin to imagine a fraction of what this poor sod has to go through on a daily basis.

I don't use the term Atheist as my understanding of the word (more than likely wrong as I haven't looked it up in a dictionary) is Anti-Theist and it is still referring to religion by the use of the word Theist.

You must have a fancier dictionary than I Hugh.  But it makes sense, and I suppose it’s why I use the term.  To be an atheist you must be aware of religion and the concept of a supreme being, considered it and then rejected it. 
What does piss me off is when those religious nutters that set up stalls in the street or knock on your door keep going after I’ve told them I’m an atheist.  One fairly common response from them is “I used to be like that”, to which I reply “no you didn’t.”

The express is a comic and Brand is apparently a comedian, though neither of them are funny.

I notice neither of them appear to be strangers to the confectionary aisle :lol

They'd be better off concentrating on keeping in a better physical shape, rather than attention seeking, and thus set a better example to the child in that respect.

There always is and always has been, for want of a better phrase, people who were born 'In the wrong body' and they deserve tolerance and understanding.

But this is an exercise in seeing how far you can go in being unconventional. An attempt to tick every PC box there is on the matter.

:z :z :z

Seems appropriate to chuck this one into the mix  :look

I had to check it wasn't April the first after reading that one darrsi.

The whole story is bonkers from beginning to end.

The part that actually disturbed me the most was the bit where he claims...'When I did so my doctor said you're making valid points that your body transcends gender' :eek

No he isn't, he's a bloke covered in tattoos that's just yet another attention seeker :rolleyes

It’s April Fools day every day in the Daily Mail.

You get disturbed by the contents of the Daily Mail?  Really?

No he isn't, he's a bloke covered in tattoos that's just yet another attention seeker [img alt=:rolleyes width=20 height=20]http://foc-u.co.uk/file:///C:/Users/garet/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/img]

There’s big demand for this stuff, such pish in the Daily Mail even gets discussed on some motorcycle forums. :eek :eek

Yes, I do know that very well because I wore glasses at school.

But your attitude seems to be "kids are little bastards, deal with it", whereas mine is "teach the kids not to be little bastards".

If kids have to make themselves feel better about themselves by attacking someone else, then the problem is with the parents, not their victim.

Oh, look! It's a Daily Mail Storm in a Teacup piece designed out outrage Middle England...

Yawn.

I was expecting this thread to be about an upgrade of DOT 5.1 :lol

Though, having read the explanation, the book "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula Le Guin comes to mind. 

[YamFazFan]

:lol No I didn't make it clear.

I was referring to the doctor involved.

I'm glad he's not my GP with judgement like that :rolleyes

Hang on top. I'll take that first sentence back.

Just re-read it and I did make it clear enough to start with and you know it :lol
