accepted as what? ( "trans women") as women maybe not, as people fine. I am puzzled at all the kerfuffal since dealing with one another as just genderlless/sexless people is more than adequate most of the time? There are just a few situations where it matters eg dating, childbirth, "...

Sexism is indeed alive and well in the 'debate', just as it was in Monty Python. It wasn't that that got Life of Brian banned though. Having read a number of the links in this thread and associated commentary, there does seem to a depressing amount of hostility to transgender people around at prese...

John Wayne? Not a specific dislike of mine but I suspect if you look back at the films he was in, most if not all will seem creaky and out of tune with reality or historic accuracy. Most historical films reflect many of the nuances of the time they were made as much as they depict accuracy... But l...

**ALERT** Thread resurrection I’ve four Apple trees different ages different varieties. I went to see them last night armed with secateurs to thin the number of apples down. Nothing I couldn’t find a single apple I’ve had bad years when there’s only been a few but never none at all. All I can think...

Why would he go to a Pentecostal church if he's CofE?

Thanks everyone. The V8 was the first choice but I couldn't find any in stock anywhere. I'll probably go for the loose bearing option and keep up with the greasing.

Currently I've got both SPDs and flats on different bikes and have decided I prefer flats of the BMX / MTB type. But, looking at buying them new there's a lot of options. Looking at the low cost end, Spa Cycles have some rebranded wellgos, system ex MP 650, and elsewhere there's the unpromisingly na...

Interesting that the video he originally posted has now been made private.

It's not - he bungled the first link, which was always private, then reposted it properly, which is still public.

Either your auto correct or your sense of proportion has failed, I'm not sure which.

I think the clue is in the typeface colour

We have deep national angst about the treatment of racial minorities, and all some people want to focus on is a bit of damage to the bronze effigy of a slave trader. It seems clear enough that the national angst isn't shared by everyone, and in fact that 'so what?' is the response of some. Edit to ...

Dear Mike Sales, Me thinks you play the racist card too freely! If there is a genetic element to the vulnerability risk amongst ethnic groupings it is just that, in much the same way that Sickle Cell is not a risk to non-Afro Caribbean humans. Both risk must be researched & efforts made to elim...
