I read about that in the Metro. Once again political correctness gone mad. Though believe it or not the woman behind the campaign for unisex bogs also said the phrase "political correctness gone mad" was politically incorrect as it is disablist!! True story!
But yeah, I am getting tired of all this picky stuff! This is just silly. So if I go , " oh yeah I believe I was born a woman" I have a right go in the ladies toilets?! That's utter bollox! Also "toilets" and "toilets with urinals". Are "ladies" and "gentlemen" bad words now!?
This is on par with banning piggy banks because it will offend Muslims! _________________ Neil is wondering why he has woken up to find he is being drawn naked by a group of sixth form students!
I just can't get my head round this one. Are the women born in men's bodies (and vice versa) living perfect lives until the sign on the toilet door reminds them that they don't have the bodies they want? I'm sure they have more difficult things to contend with than what the nasty doors are telling them
they should just use the pictorial versions then if you dress like a girl you can go in the one with the picture of someone dressed like a girl. and vise versa.
there we go another earth wide problem solved by liam
I AM WONDERFULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa Neil, tone down the Daily Mailisms a bit here. You're starting to sound like some grumpy pensioner mouthing off on the bus about the state of the world; I wasn't aware that a single institution changing the name of its toilets to "toilets with urinals" instead of "gents" would shake the foundations of your world to its very core.
What really is utter bollocks is saying that the pretty horrible experience of being one gender in a body of the opposite sex is equivalent to "oh yeah I believe I was born a woman". Have you ever met a transsexual? Have you ever even *read* anything about what's it's like to be one? Or did you just decide to trumpet ignorance as a point of view?
Incidentally the piggy bank thing was - again, and as always with any of these bullshit political correctness stories - a local decision taken by branches in areas with lots of Muslims to rub and get an edge over competitors. You know, to make money? It's not like it's an edict handed down from some PC Tsar that everyone has to follow. Fuc.k's sake, Lloyds TSB has an ad campaign RIGHT NOW with a gigantic piggy bank roaming the streets. Go to Lord Street, look in the window. Biggest piggy bank you'll ever see. _________________ I was lying in a burned out basement

the ceiling above my bay window in my living room collapsed today because of a leak. unfortunately i was under it at the time putting bowls there to collect water.
It is fair to say that i got covered in water and ceiling!

I didn't realise that this would could such a stir with you. Maybe you misunderstood what I was getting at? You seem to have jumped on my words and twisted them slightly.
Ok it is a single institution that has brought this in but it doesn't mean that it's not utter shit at the same time. Same goes for the bank and the "piggy bank" scenario.
In my opinion, it is being very very particular for no reason at all. I don't see why people with personal issues about their gender would be offended by the title of toilets when their feelings and insecuritys will far outway worrying what toilet they should go into??! What it comes down to.. this is going to sound very blatant... If they have a penis they should go in the gents and if they have a vagina they should go in the ladies. Any other way around would be offensive to the opposite sex. I wouldn't feel comfortable with a woman coming in and going the toilet in the men's regardless of whether she believes she is a man! Same goes vice versa.
"oh yeah I believe I was born a woman". I believe you took offence a little too much to this. i wasn't trying to make the subject seem trivial. It must be a very distressing situation to be in. but being a male and believing you were born a woman (which is what i am saying there^^( is surely another way of saying what you said..
"one gender in a body of the opposite sex" ?!?!
It's just knit picking otherwise... _________________ Neil is wondering why he has woken up to find he is being drawn naked by a group of sixth form students!

I'd typed like, loads of the story from a very blurry picture on my phone, replacing most of the words with whatever came to mind... but I just found the actual story.
A dead woman was found eaten by her pack of 20 cats.
Much of 58-year-old Livia Melinte was nibbled by her pets after she died weeks ago.
'She loved her cats so much she spent half her time feeding them.
I suppose they had a big appetite,' said a neighbour in Tomnatic, Romania.
AND heres the picture with caption, because it's hillarious:
Cats can turn when they're hungry _________________ Siggy siggy wahhh.
