YOU know we are all headed, as a country, at light speed towards the funny farm when a woman can be sued for making the statement that only women menstruate.
Sued for stating an unequivocal, biological fact.
That’s what’s happened, this week. Elspeth Duemmer Wrigley is a lawyer. She works for an organisation which has links to a government department.
A claimant who works for another outfit is suing her because she stated “only women menstruate.” So she is being hauled before an industrial tribunal.
Here’s the thing: Only women menstruate. Men can’t do it. Believe me, I’ve tried. Transwomen can’t do it, because like it or not they are biologically men.
What Wrigley said, then, was entirely factual. Biologists know it. The overwhelming majority of ordinary people know it. Hell, even Alice Cooper knew it when he wrote “Only Women Bleed”.
Perhaps they’ll be coming after Alice next. Wrigley chairs a civil service network for people with “gender critical views”.
Ie, they do not believe that we can change our sex simply by lopping bits off, gluing other bits on and taking lots of drugs. I think the vast majority of people think that’s about right.
People may have a lot of sympathy for trans folk. They may wish for them to live happy lives free from discrimination.
But they do not go along with the maniacal activists who insist on turning science on its head.
Arguing black is actually white. The people who think women should compete against a big muscular bearded person called Loretta. And who last week was called Bob.
The people who think that biological men who have transitioned should be housed in women’s prisons when they’ve committed a crime.
The people who think your children should be encouraged to “change sex” if they have the slightest doubts about their sexuality. Which of course, a lot of kids do.
This is madness. And we have let it happen.
These activists and their idiot supporters on the liberal left need a swift reality check.
Also this week we learned that the BBC was in “meltdown” because one of its few decent remaining presenters was censured for suggesting that transwomen were in effect men.
The excellent Justin Webb, of the BBC Today programme, made the comment when introducing a guest.
After one complaint was received, the BBC’s complaints unit ticked Webb off. They said he “gave the impression of endorsing one viewpoint in a highly controversial area.”
No, you absolute drongos. What he stated was an incontestable, scientific fact.
No matter how much war paint they are wearing, or how impressive their silicon breasts, a transwoman is still biologically a man. That is all Webb said.
And for the BBC to align itself with the vanishingly small number of activists who insist the opposite is a genuine scandal.
But as you can see from the case of Elspeth Duemmer Wrigley, that seems to be the way we are going. To a place where reality and the truth have no purchase whatsoever.
Where you can be whatever you want to be simply by saying you are. Despite all the evidence to the contrary.
When a society loses grip on reality, you know it’s in terminal decline.
HAVE you heard Labour’s Yvette Cooper gibbering on about the Government’s plan to send illegal migrants to Rwanda?
I listened to a whole bunch of interviews with the woman. And I still can’t work out what, exactly, she is going to do to sort out the problem.
She talks about “going after the traffickers”. Well, sure, but do you not think we’re doing that now? What are you going to do, Yvette, to bring them to justice?
I have the feeling it’s a lot of hot air and they haven’t a clue, actually, as to what to do.
THE British economy received a welcome boost last week when it was revealed that Long Covid doesn’t actually exist.
This means that all the people suffering from it can go back to work with a spring in their step.
The debunking of Long Covid came from health experts in Queensland, Australia.
They suggested that the symptoms were no more severe than the usual post-viral fatigue.
Approximately 22million British people, almost all of them in the public sector, are currently off work with Long Covid.
Symptoms include weariness, existential doubt and a desperate craving to watch re-runs of Cash In The Attic.
How relieved they will all be by this latest good news.
A TAIWANESE man went to hospital with a bad case of constipation.
A brief examination showed that he had a coconut up his bottom. He was unable to explain to the medics how it had got there.
Just one of those nights, I suppose. We’ve all done it. Had a bit too much to drink. Wake up the next morning with a cantaloupe up your jacksie.
All a bit of a mystery. I hope he makes a full recovery.
PHEW, well that was an exhausting month. I’ve just completed my first four weeks in a new job. I am the Princess of Wales’s stunt double.
It really is true that Kate has a stand-in for public events. It’s me.
Bit of lippy, hair extensions, padded bra – I’m the spitting image, mate. Posing for photographs, a bit of shopping, collecting the kids from school etc.
Very tiring. Did you know that the entire Royal Family are actually stunt doubles?
Bradley Walsh plays Camilla. King Charles, meanwhile, is played by a retired geography lecturer from Cheam.
Andrew is just Andrew, because nobody fancied playing him. And he doesn’t do anything any more, anyhow.
THE Finns are the happiest people in the world, according to a new survey.
They are followed by the Danes and people from Iceland. We come way down the list, in 20th place.
The Scandies are always bragging about how happy they are. My guess is that the Finns are in a perpetual state of contentment because they’re not Swedish.
They also have one of the highest suicide rates in the European Union – so not ALL of them are that cheerful, are they?
NO, you Tories. I do not want Penny Mordaunt as the next prime minister.
There’s rumours afoot that backbenchers are planning a coup. Topple Rishi, install Penny.
Mordaunt is best known for her very strange views on the transgender issue.
Problem is, I think the voters are getting a bit sick of being foisted with a new prime minister they haven’t voted for – every time the Conservatives start feeling insecure about the opinion polls.
Penny’s just Theresa May in a better wig.
AT last, we are beginning to get inflation under control.
The overall rate has dropped to its lowest level – 3.4 per cent – in two and a half years.
It’s still too high, mind. And higher than the average for the European Union countries, too.
But we may be heading in the right direction. Until the next election, when suddenly Labour will be holding the purse strings . . .
IT’S that time of the year when pest control companies start telling us we’re going to face a huge rat infestation.
They do it at the same time every year, without fail. And start talking about monster rats with razor-sharp teeth.
They do it to frighten you. And hope you might call Rentokil or someone and spend lots of money on horrible poisons.
Listen, there’s a simple way to get rid of rats.
Keep your food locked up and your surfaces super clean.
And make sure the creatures have no access to water. They’ll be gone, pronto.
