X & Y chromosomes are not completely binary
Besides which, sex is not gender:

This has been fairly long established in law.

I'm well aware that sex is not gender.
I've said about as much as I'm willing to say on this subject. As others have mentioned, it's getting a bit fucking tired now. Its such a complex topic with so many facets that very few people are going to be singing off completely the same hymn sheet. Likewise, it's a very emotionally charged subject for some folk - so unless your subjective opinions on the matter align perfectly, there's always going to be fervent discourse.
I'm all for Trans Rights. And I'm all for individuals having the freedom to identify/dress/present as whatever gender and sex they feel most comfortable with. But at the end of the day, are we living in a society that should or could allow Trans-Women the same freedoms that biological women have? Not even close. Is that a bad thing? Probably. But we're at least a generation away from making any real progress on that issue.

Thanks for the support, seriously.
The kids of my friends seems to be quite happy with trans rights, they've got no problem with trans men or women in their spaces.
It'd be nice to think that the equality in rights and practice that trans people deserve is starting right now - if it takes that generation to settle down, that'll be sad, but I hope at least we're on the route.

That’s just it though.
As you say, the kids have no problem with trans men or women, nor should they, nor do I. The only significant problem I have with the whole thing is crystallised in that slogan I mentioned. Just don’t tell me a trans woman is a woman. That’s doublethink. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.
Update on how well the hoover sucks coming soon.

I've done a bit of online gaming in lockdown to pass the time
and based on that I've come to the conclusion that most people under 30 are horrible cunts, the younger they are the worse

maybe it's just the gaming community, rather that the general populace, granted
but it doesn't exactly make me think the next generation is going to be some chill tolerant adults. they'll just pretend to be for the opportunities it offers to be sanctimonious and mean. i don't say anything, I've got kids sleeping and what am I gonna do that that their parents haven't, but I observe the little shits
