I'd Prefer They Showed An Understanding Of Biology...

Yesterday, the Conservative gay rights envoy has claimed Boris Johnson told off his cabinet for getting into a culture war on LGBT issues - and wants them to show 'kindness and tolerance'.
...and didn't seek to deny reality to spare the feelings of a dangerously vocal minority who reject any tolerance towards others.
Housing secretary Robert Jenrick has said he agrees with Liz Truss that 'women have vaginas'.
Speaking to Times Radio, Mr Jenrick said: 'I think there's a matter of biology, of course, what is a woman. I mean absolutely, I agree with Liz Truss. That's the point that she's made in the past.
'Undoubtedly, of course we want to ensure that those people who are trans can live their life comfortably.
'I want everyone to be able to live their life the way they want to and be happy and to find love wherever they can do.
'One does have to be aware of the impact on other people and that means we have to be particularly sensitive in terms of some of those settings that we as a government are responsible for like schools, like hospitals, like prisons.
'One has to tread carefully and think through all of the consequences of this for other members of society.'

So who is this 'gay envoy'? 

Lord Herbert of South Downs was taken on as the Government's 'Special Envoy on LGBT rights' in May, with the aim to 'champion equality at home and abroad'.
The Tory peer - and Britain's first openly gay MP - claimed the Prime Minister doesn't want ministers to 'take a side in what some are seeing clearly as a culture war'.
Mr Johnson instead preached 'kindness, tolerance and openness' when discussing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues, Lord Herbert said.

Surely 'openness' includes an acceptance of biological reality?

Tory and gay? Does that make him a 'right Herbert'?

Personally, I think that pandering to sexual deviants and mentally-defective idiots (tautological, I know) above and beyond the demands of simple courtesy is not likely to end well.

Uh oh....looks like another spectacular failure for Operation Wokegeld.

These people are all about 'kindness, tolerance and openness' except where it means being open to the idea that some people might not want their five year old daughter exposed to a 'lady penis'.

AH Haart has something today on building an ideology around fundamental, obvious lies and then defending those lies with the whole apparatus - mockery, violence, state violence etc. Last time I checked [some time ago] the other party was equipped with pretty standard gear in the most delightful way.

Someone’s telling porkies about the female anatomy and it ain’t us.

It is quite simple really to find out if a suspect is female or male:
restrain the person next to a telephone, and ring the telephone, if female and unable to answer they will eventually explode

It is also informing, if one studies crime statisitcs, any look at Africa, the middle east or Jamaica for example will show a complete and utter intolerance of the weak, the vulnerable, and indeed what used to called the weaker sex.
And yet the media are obsessed with story upon story about these predators and how they are, apparently, oppressed

Heh! But I know a lot of gay conservatives. Of course, most of them are sensivble enough not to be modern Tories.

"...looks like another spectacular failure for Operation Wokegeld."

Lessons never, it seems, learned.

"AH Haart has something today on building an ideology around fundamental, obvious lies and then defending those lies with the whole apparatus..."

Yes, great article. They are doubling down at every setback.

"...if female and unable to answer they will eventually explode"

Can confirm! 🤣

"...any look at Africa, the middle east or Jamaica for example will show a complete and utter intolerance of the weak, the vulnerable, and indeed what used to called the weaker sex."

Along with indifference to the suffering of animals. One might say, even, the things that make us civilised.
