A minute amount of people.

It is not true that 1.7% of the population is 'born between the sexes'. The proportion of people with DSDs ('intersex' conditions) is 0.018%.

You're linking to a disreputable source with an obvious agenda using a narrower definition.

We weren't talking about DSD as diagnosed by physicians at birth.

OK, just for you, the vast majority of humans are born male or female and no amount of drugs, surgery and make up will change a person's sex. If you and Mr Kobby want to believe it will then that's fine but nothing will change my mind.

That’s not what you said and it’s not what I replied to. You said they were either male or female. I pointed out you were wrong. You accepted you were wrong but suggested the exceptions were vanishingly small. I said nothing about changing sex and your attempt to put words in my mouth realistically never had any chance of succeeding. What I asked was whether you forgot that a minority existed who are neither male nor female or just didn’t care.

You chose not to answer.

Shall we just leave it there?

Do what you want, we all know what I was referring too and you being pedantic over very small percentage does change anything. I shall continue to enjoy my san miguel.

That very small percentage are in fact human beings.

I guess the answer was that you don’t care.

Enjoy your beer, and your evening.

To you it might be but considering all you seem to do is post anti-western shit your response doesn't surprise me in the slightest Bob.

You're an ideologue, but you know that.

Tolerance is a Western value. I’m all for Western values of tolerance and fairness. We’re not the Taliban or US Christian Nationalist weirdos. I have no interest in making people suffer when they don’t have to.

We weren't talking about caring or not caring about that small percentage, you were just highlighting it to be pedantic against my post.

Let's hope that people suffering from gender dysphoria get the counselling they need then.

Something going up ~30% in a decade is hardly surprising if you want inflation around 2.5% which acts cumulatively.

Going up 20% overnight is entirely different.

Anyway let’s look at the rationale being provided for increasing fees - it’s to raise funds to improve state schools. Ok let’s take that at face value and assume this is going to pay for all these things Labour want to do - none of which anyone would disagree with. Is it fair that a small section of society who do not use that facility should pay for these improvements? Would it not be fairer to share that investment across a wider group of tax payers through a simple increase in taxation? Those with the broadest shoulders bearing the burden of a small amount each versus a small group bearing a much larger burden? The former approach would likely raise more money (the numbers being muted as this raising are questionable), not tax education as a principle, and which would be better for all concerned - no?

in a word.....no

Sure people regret a lot of things and go back on them. How many people that have changed their sex, revert? Don’t know myself but does it matter ?Again what’s that to me?

It's nothing to do YOU, personally. It's YOu that opened the door to speak on biological birth sex. What's written at birth is written and should stay if the chromosomes are in tandem.

It's not a "trick question" for Starmer, but he's pretty slimy and doesn't like to believe in any position to stick to.

We see this ALL the time.
