Fruit and Veg Shortage Cripple South, North Says as Long As the Pies Keep Flowing We'll Be Fine...

 Yep, I recon the North will sail through the fruit and veg shortage just fine.

A shortage of Peppers? What are they for anyway?

Tomatoes? You get them in a tin anyway, don't you?

Broccoli and Cauliflower? Only Southern ponces eat those.

As long as the Potatoes keep coming for the hotpots and the meat and potato pies, then it'll be reet.

When Ideology Meets Reality and Flounders. The Risk of Making Laws based on Ideology Rather Than Realistic Need.

Here is Nicola Sturgeon floundering to answer pretty simple questions based on reality.

Now, if the SNP ideologically sees trans women as women, then ideologically there can be no argument that a trans woman wouldn't be housed in a women's prison.

But here is Nicola squirming, trying to justify both the ideological point that trans women are women, and the reality that trans women have to be treated differently because they are not women. Almost in the same sentence.

You can't have both. You can't say trans women are women and be afforded all the rights of women including the right to access women's spaces and then in the same breath say "but there has to be a risk assessment".

If a trans woman is a woman, then surely ideologically there is no need for a risk assessment because the trans woman is a woman and poses no threat to other women? Or if they did, like maybe they were violent, they would still be housed in a women's prison but maybe in solitary confinement.

There's no risk assessment that would put an actual biological woman in a men's prison.

 

But this is where ideology loses it's grip on reality.

Far safer to define at what point a "trans woman" actually becomes a woman.

Like I've said before, transition should not be easy. It should not be a case of merely stating your preferred gender. That's ideology talking.

The reality is more definite. You become you preferred sex or gender when your sexual organs become the the correct ones for your preferred gender. Anything else is just roleplay and should not be considered as a legal status of one's gender.

To be a woman (forget the trans label) you have to lose the penis. To be a man, you have to have one.

You can, by all means have the organs of the opposite sex to your preferred or chosen gender, but you must not assume you have "rights" or the same rights as the gender you are roleplaying. Whilst roleplaying, you rely on the consent of the gender you are roleplaying to be given access their spaces, you have no right to assume or to take without consent.

That's the only legal, practical definitions of gender that can be acceptable.
