While several of the items you listed (from the CHYA) are false (or, at least, enjoy no empirical support), two the items that you listed are true:

* 'Gender' is defined as “[a]ttitudes, feelings, characteristics, and behaviors that a given culture associates with being male or female and that are often labeled as ‘masculine’ or ‘feminine’”;

* An infinite number of gender identities exist, including “male, female, neither of these, both, or other gender(s)”;

Do you actually disagree with these?
I can swing either way on this, pun intended, but if you think there are an infinite number of gender identities, then just please precisely define male, my point being that there is one male gender that can have ℵ0 interpretations by humans, or ℵ0 genders of which ℵ0 are male genders, each precisely defining one person at one point in time.

IE, girls who wear pants and enjoy climbing in trees might be tomboys and that's perfectly okay and female, and might not be some ℵ0 amounts of gender queer / trans. It's okay for girls to where pants. It's okay for boys to be gay have feminine characteristics.

I'd go even further and suggest it's entirely useless. Gender identity, as used by SJW cretins and the tumblr elite, exists entirely between the ears and is a special woo-infused concept which nobody straight can "get" and are forbidden to comment upon. As such, and as I've already stated here in the 'pit, it's a nonsense term of zero value or relevance. "Gender identity" is right up there with your favourite colour, which Spice Girl you'd most like to hump or how you feel about the return of bell-bottom trousers.

Utter dog eggs.

Feminism dug it's own grave when it decided gender was a social construct.

Sports, bathrooms, whatever, were never segregated by gender. They were segregated by sex.

Testing testosterone levels in sports, for instance, was to determine the athletes sex, not gender.

We don't have separate sporting events because one 'gender' swears a lot and gobs on the floor, while the other likes to gossip or lez up in the showers.

The wider issue is the tiresome hypocrisy of celebrating racial selectiveness for certain minorities and then getting short of breath when it’s the wrong skin colour.

The quasi-humorous irony is that anglos are becoming a minority in Sydney and so should qualify.

The pragmatics are that for customer focused retail assistants in Neutral Bay, the usual crop of low skill non English speaking applicant ain’t going to work. It sounds like the HR person was short cutting the inevitable realpolitik of CV triage.

How the hell this ends up on the 6.30 news like it’s a war crime .... well I never.

Oh. It’s SBS. Which, I kid you not, stands for ‘special’ broadcasting service. Special because it was setup in 1978 “to provide multilingual and multicultural radio and television services that inform, educate and entertain all Australians and, in doing so, reflect Australia's multicultural society”.

A masterpiece of integration.

Well, one of those Bs in BBC still stands for British, despite their obvious distaste for all things British. And they're also happy to live of the tax dollars of a large demographic they actively discriminate against on racial grounds, so there's that.

Well...Ben Kingsley had an Indian father, and his birth name is actually Krishna Pandit Bhanji. So it's not really whitewashing. Not completely, at any rate.

Also, Ben Kingsley's best ever performance is in Sexy Beast, and if you've not seen it then you really must.

She may have turned into a bit of a fruit cake these days but boy, was she cute in her time.

A memorable anecdote from watching Tony Lambrianou , the so called Krays Enforcer, who served 15 years for his part in the murder of Jack "The Hat" McVitie (actually down the road from the Council Estate where I used to live in Hackney ) . I actually have no time for the Gangland *they loved their mothers only killed their own) mythology though the Krays film with the Spandau Kemp bros is actually a good film. Havent seen the latter ones.
He was speaking on a TV discussion programme :
Presenter: "You nailed peoples' feet to the floorboards didnt you?"
Lambrianou : "Actually that was taken out of context".

Miss Whitstable contest is opened to boys for first time in 121 years

11:04, 12 April 2018 | Updated: 12:50, 12 April 2018

Carnival organisers searching for the next Miss Whitstable are allowing boys to enter the contest for the first time in its 121-year history - after no one turned up to their selection event.

Since 1897, girls have put themselves forward in the hope of being crowned the town’s new queen or one of her princesses.

But on Sunday the carnival committee was left disappointed when, after waiting for two hours in vain at Whitstable Castle, not a single contestant turned up to the selection of this year’s court.

I didn't know that about Kingsley. That makes sense. He played an Indian in one of my favorite films called "The House of Sand and Fog." He plays the part of a father that... well... I wont spoil it, but this is one of those movies that makes me cry buckets.

A radical feminist has been warned by a judge to refer to the transgender defendant as a “she” during an assault case.

Maria Maclachlan, 61, was giving evidence against Tara Wolf, 26, whom she claims tried to attack her at a rally, knocking her to the floor.

She told Hendon Magistrates' Court: "A hooded figure suddenly ran at me, ran past me from left to right, knocking the camera from my hand.

"They swatted it. Although it was knocked out of my hand it was caught by the strap so it didn't hit the ground, which I thought was the intention."

District Judge Kenneth Grant warned Ms MacLachlan to refer to Miss Wolf as “she” while giving evidence.

He said: "The defendant wished to be referred to as a woman, so perhaps you could refer to her as 'she' for the purpose of the proceedings."

Ms MacLachlan replied: "I'm used to thinking of this person who is a male as male."

The row was the latest in an ongoing battle between Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs), who believe that transwomen should not be given the same rights as those born female, and transgender activists.

The two factions have repeatedly clashed over the issue of men who “self-identify” as female and are allowed in women-only spaces and take on roles reserved for women.

The group of radical feminists, including Ms Maclachlan, had gathered at Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park last September to discuss changes to the Gender Identity Act which will make it easier for people to define their gender themselves.

Transgender activists were holding a counter demonstration when the two groups clashed and Ms MacLachlan, who describes herself as a "gender critical feminist," was allegedly punched.

She was filming a group who were chanting "When TERFs attack, we strike back" and claimed she simply thought she might get some "amusing footage".

Ms Maclachlan has admitted that following the event she sent out a tweet featuring a close-up of the defendant's face with the words: "Hiya, got any hair restorer while I'm in hiding? Love Tara."

Miss Wolf, who faces one charge of assault by beating, admitted being involved in the fracas but insists she was acting in self-defence.

She said Ms Maclachlan was shaking her partner "like a rag doll" when she struck her.

She described the event as a hate rally and said the fight broke out because she feared Ms MacLachlan planned to out her as transgender online.

"Terfs have a history of taking people's pictures and posting them in pages like GenderIdentityWatch.com, a database that makes us a target for the far-right," she told the court.

"(The complainant) was trying to get people's faces. She was filming the argument that was going on between the two groups."

Ms Maclachlan argued that she was not even aware the group were trans, saying she thought they were all male.

"They were not easily perceived as trans. I don't mind going though them face-by-face if you want to argue the toss," she said.

"When I started filming I didn't have any particular intention of what I might do with the footage. I might have shown it to my husband, I might have posted it on my Facebook page, or I might have uploaded it on my blog."

She denied she was trying to make the protesters feel "scared, uncomfortable or unsafe".

Wolf admitted posting on Facebook ahead of the event: "I wanna f*** up some terfs. They're no better than fash (fascists)."

She claimed she made the comment out of bravado and wanted to protest peacefully.

The trial is due to last two days.

It's a jab at some of the proposed alphabet soup alternatives for "LGBT" which included many more letters.

The term QUILTBAG was proposed by some SJWs to use in place of glbt, because it's more inclusive. I hate it and just use the terms gay and bi to refer to anyone who isn't straight.

I genuinely cannot remember what the U was for but the rest seem pretty apparent.

Now the real messy labels are the ones that use the same letter twice.

I certainly hope not. The world would not be a better place if everyone could trace their ancestors back to John Wayne and / or Agnes Moorhead.

Agreed. As an edgy, hyper-active mobster who says 'cunt' at least 417 times during the course of the film. Also with great work by Ray Winstone (sp??) and Ian McShane.

Miss Whitstable contest is opened to boys for first time in 121 years

11:04, 12 April 2018 | Updated: 12:50, 12 April 2018

Carnival organisers searching for the next Miss Whitstable are allowing boys to enter the contest for the first time in its 121-year history - after no one turned up to their selection event.

Since 1897, girls have put themselves forward in the hope of being crowned the town’s new queen or one of her princesses.

But on Sunday the carnival committee was left disappointed when, after waiting for two hours in vain at Whitstable Castle, not a single contestant turned up to the selection of this year’s court.

Whitstable is a strange place - though the 'Crab and Winkle way' is not quite and unpleasant as it sounds.

Oh - and Peter Cushing used to live there...

Undecided?

You bang the opposite sex, the same sex or both. Or, if you are unlucky, none of the above. Anything isn't an orientation and shouldn't be treated as such.
