South Oxfordshire is catching up.
A local authority will ensure all its buildings have a gender neutral toilet in a bid to help transgender people.
Will it also ensure that all its buildings have women’s toilets? Or is it going to create its “gender neutral” toilets by converting the women’s. Probably.
The council’s constitution, policies, forms and internal and external communications will also be gender-neutral.
Eh? What does that mean? What if a policy is about women? How can they make all forms “gender-neutral”? If they do that how, for instance, can they tell whether or not they’re failing to hire or promote women?
The motion also stated the council, which covers Henley, Didcot, Wallingford and Thame, respects that “trans men are men, trans women are women, and that non-binary genders are just as valid”.
But the first is false, the second is false, and the third is meaningless.
This crap is embarrassing.

As a passing Martian might say, imagine being a member of an intelligent species that can come up with such dumb shit. And take it seriously.
Hasn’t someone already reframed this as trans men are men who want to dress as women, trans women are women who want to dress as men?
I suspect that’s a feature, not a bug :-/

Of course! Because now the goal is to hire more trans women because hiring more men is more inclusive than making sure you don’t discriminate against hiring women.
Honestly, Ophelia, the logic is perfectly clear, I don’t know why you have difficulty with this… ;)
