So far as I'm aware consultants don't get leeway to deviate from professional standards really. That's why the standards and criteria are there! I have no doubt there are other countries where the problem does exist, but I don't think it's a significant proportion of those affected.

No need for any trans in that equation. Not safe for work, clearly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegging_(sexual_practice) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxman1980 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) I don't want to get into a huge discussion about transgender matters. Medical science still knows very little about the human body and how it actually works especially when it comes to the human mind. I believe that we have seen a rise in transgender discussions simply because we have reached a point where people feel increasingly able to express how they feel and to seek support whether that be counselling or transitioning. In the not too distant past we used to chemically castrate gay men or even electrocute them in an attempt to make them conform to a heterosexual worldview. Given those practices, how many people do you think would raise their heads above the parapet to suggest that they weren't gay and they just feel like they are the wrong gender?

Indeed the name has been met with horror and condemnation around the world. "Bread" they cry "You call that bread?". 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comment about the bread is just nonsense and you know it. You have, however, in advertently stumbled across a sector which provides examples of 'white privilege'. Many cosmetic products for women are specifically designed for white skin or white people with a tan. Until recently I believe that there was little choice for black women when it came to products such as foundation, make-up, tights and even plasters that matched their skin tone. It was a bit of a shock to me to learn that this sector was overlooking a whole host of customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Dixie Chicks (they’re another band) dropped the ‘Dixie’ from their name. Who next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Now the Dixie Chicks have dropped the 'Dixie' from their name as it reminds some people of the Southern Republic. The Chicks from now on. That's not going to offend anyone... You beat me to it Wrighty ! Edited June 26, 2020 by Shake me up Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Will Dixie Dregs follow suit? I’ve heard them referred to as ‘The Dregs’ before now, but their full name is still on their website. It’s all going a bit mad really (no offence intended if using the word ‘mad’ is somehow offensive to the mentally ill. #PsychoticLivesMatter) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
