Formal Freemason greetings will remain, so someone who has transitioned from John to Jane would be called “Brother Jane”Jooney Woodward for The Times
Their secretive society has been male-only for centuries. Now the Freemasons are to allow women members — but only if they were men when they joined.
The United Grand Lodge of England, founded in 1717, has issued guidance to its 200,000 members that “a Freemason who after initiation ceases to be a man does not cease to be a Freemason”.
Its “gender reassignment policy” says that anyone wishing to join must be male but once admitted can remain a member as a woman. Anyone who has become a man can also apply.
Some conventions remain. Formal greetings should begin with the prefix “Brother”, so someone who has transitioned from John to Jane Smith would be “Brother Jane” or “Brother Smith”. Appropriate alternatives to the dress…

An Irish woman has withdrawn the “pussy hat” knitting pattern which she had posted online as a service to fellow female protesters preparing for President Trump’s visit to Ireland in November: woke activists had pointed out to her that some women have penises, not vaginas.
Katherine’s noble, thoughtful, caring decision has been respected by some:
But not, unfortunately, by everyone.

Leave those kids alone
Joanna Williams
Associate editor
Now officials want five-year-olds to pick their own gender.
In Scotland right now, mums and dads of five-year-olds will be busy buying new school uniforms, cleaning out lunchboxes and tracking down lost PE kits. Heading back to school can be more troublesome for adults than children. Well, here’s something else for parents to worry about: when you bought that uniform, perhaps a new skirt or pair of trousers, did you stop to ask your child if they are a boy or a girl first? No? Of course not. No sane parent would. It is hard enough getting clothes that meet with school approval, will last for more than a few months, and that children will actually wear, without getting into discussions with tiny tots about the socially constructed nature of gender.
Yet teachers across Scotland are all set to have exactly this discussion. Children in Primary One – that’s five year-olds – are to be taught that it is up to them to decide if they are a boy or a girl. That’s right. One of the few big certainties in a young child’s life will be called into question. And parents who may have found out the sex of their baby before birth and painted a bedroom, chosen a name, bought clothes and toys accordingly, will be told that they were wrong to do these things. They should have waited until their children were old enough to announce to the world for themselves whether they are boys, girls or presently undecideds.
The choose-your-own-gender class is part of an online educational resource to be used in schools as part of the revamped ‘relationships, sexual health and parenthood’ curriculum. Forget parents, extended families, religious communities or neighbours – it now seems to be taken for granted that it is the job of schools to teach children all about relationships. What’s more, why bother teaching children about parenthood? After all, they’ll never need to put this knowledge into practice. If the Scottish government gets its way, parenting will be entirely the responsibility of state-approved professionals.
Education Scotland, regional NHS boards and the Scottish government jointly came up with this new gender initiative’s daft – sorry, draft – guidelines, which are set to come into effect from 2019. The plan is to tell children: ‘Your sex is what you are told by a doctor when you are born. Most people are told they are a male child (a boy) or a female child (a girl).’ But this ridiculous statement contradicts everything children will later learn in biology lessons. Babies are not ‘told’ they are a particular sex in some odd conversation between parents and midwives on the labour ward. The overwhelming majority of babies actually are male or female, boys or girls. Sex is not a lottery. It doesn’t depend on how the doctor happens to be feeling at a certain point in time. It is there in the child’s genitals and in their chromosomes. Telling children that sex is simply something that is arbitrarily announced by a doctor is a lie.
But propagating this lie and encouraging children to believe that sex is a random declaration allows teachers to go on to tell children: ‘Your gender is what you decide.’ In other words, children will be told to ignore the evidence they see before them every time they go to the toilet or get undressed. Ignore what the nasty doctor said. And ignore what family members have wickedly led them to believe. Not only does this undermine parents, it also heaps a lot of pressure on to the shoulders of five-year-olds. Most find it difficult enough to decide what to have for breakfast. Their brains are full of Minecraft, superheroes or Friendship Fairies. They worry about dinosaurs coming back to life and unicorns not being real. It is hard to see how telling children this age that one of the few things they know for certain isn’t certain after all can do anything other than cause distress.
But the problematising continues. ‘People might think they know your gender because of the clothes you wear or the things you like to do’, children will be told. But, of course, these people are wrong: ‘You are a unique person, you know who you are.’ This confuses two separate issues – gender stereotypes and actually being a boy or a girl. It also seriously underestimates children. The youngest children distinguish between boy stuff and girl stuff; they know whether they are a boy or a girl and which clothes and toys they are supposed to like. But while some children might police gender stereotypes with enthusiasm, others do not. They know, better than the Scottish government it seems, that you can play football and still be a girl or dress up as a princess and still be a boy. Even those keen to enforce gender conformity at age five may well rebel by the time they are 15. And so what if they don’t? If a boy enjoys being a boy and wants to grow up into a man, is that really so bad?
The politicians and professionals who have come up with this barmy scheme to get children to pick their own gender should go back to school themselves. They urgently need to resit first-year biology. Perhaps they can learn a thing or two about being five while they’re at it. Most sensible adults know that being a boy or a girl is not something you randomly pick. The Scottish government needs to stop meddling in children’s lives and leave parents to talk to their children about sex, relationships and gender.

Not commented on this before today but has come quite close to home so will.

If someone with a gender issue was wrestling through it, kept their issues to themselves and did not impact on others then sort of fair enough and I wish them peace on their journey (I doubt they'll find it but open to be wrong about that).

However, we live in a broken world with some very bent and dark people in it. We've already had one 'female' in a female prison allegedly sexually assaulting another female innate and subsequently being moves to a cat B male prison- https://metro.co.uk/2018/07/18/tran...assaulted-female-inmates-days-jailed-7728870/

My granddaughter's Rainbow leader (pre Guides) has been suspended after daring to express grave concern that their protocol now states that if a boy states he is a girl then he should be allowed to go camping with the girls and might end up sharing a tent with another girl whose parents and herself are NOT permitted to know that she is sharing with a boy, with a penis and with normal sex hormones.

You can call me old fashioned or any other perjorative and bigoted term you like (because bigotry works both ways!) but this is a recipe for disaster!

Here's the link if you're interested.

There's only one thing I am certain of. My granddaughters are more precious to me than anything in this world and I would do anything to protect them from ANY potential harm no matter how small the risk might be.

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE. There is potential for great danger to young girls here.

Rachel McKinnon is standing in the middle of the photo.
Dr. Rachel McKinnon became the first ever transgender world champion in a womens cycling event this weekend.
She whooped them little girls.
The other thing that makes this incident particularly interesting is that McKinnon believes that men who identity as women should not be required to take testosterone suppressing hormones (let alone have gender reassignment surgery) in order to participate in women’s athletic competitions.

 

It’s amazing what gender reassignment surgeons can do these days if this MTF is regularly on her cycle!

Mr. Ludwig, USA.
After 2 failed marriages + fathering a child, this Navy veteran declared himself a woman.
He then joined a female college basketball team where he was more than twice the age of his teammates.
Fair?
Right?

Emile Ratelband, 69, told he cannot legally change his age

A Dutchman who wanted to change his date of birth to boost dating prospects has lost his legal battle to do so.
Emile Ratelband, still aged 69, wanted to change his birth date by 20 years to avoid what he called discrimination.
"We live in a time when you can change your name and change your gender. Why can't I decide my own age?" he said.
But the court disagreed, highlighting that many rights in law are based on a person's age, and changing it at will could cause many problems.
There was no legal basis to make such a change, it said.
"Mr Ratelband is at liberty to feel 20 years younger than his real age and to act accordingly," the judges said, but changing his legal documents would have "undesirable legal and societal implications".
Mr Ratelband, who calls himself a "positivity trainer", made headlines around the world with his unusual request.
Ahead of the hearing, he made TV and other press appearances, saying he felt discriminated against in both employment and on the popular dating app Tinder - and said his doctors had told him he had the body of someone in their 40s.
"If I'm 49, then I can buy a new house, drive a different car. I can take up more work," he said. "When I'm on Tinder and it says I'm 69, I don't get an answer. When I'm 49, with the face I have, I will be in a luxurious position."

• Man told he was too old for job
• Man, 67, denied job because of age bias

Alongside the widespread media attention, he was criticised by some for comparing his bid to the position of people in the transgender community.

In court, Mr Ratelband argued that the date on his birth certificate was a mistake - even though he was born on that day, 11 March 1949.
The court agreed with him that age is part of a person's identity. But unlike a person's gender or name, which Mr Ratelband sought to draw comparisons to, it had further complications.
"Rights and obligations are also attached to age... for example, the right to vote, the right to marry, the opportunity to drink alcohol and to drive a car," the court said.
It found that the possibility of declaring oneself younger could open the door to the opposite - becoming older.
In its judgement, the court said that granting the request would cause "all kinds of legal problems" by effectively erasing 20 years of events. It pondered what would happen to qualifications obtained in that time, or a driving licence issued, or a marriage solemnised.
It also said that while changes to the law to allow a person to change their gender took place following a global debate on such issues, no widespread advocacy for the change existed, except for Mr Ratelband's lone case.
If he felt discriminated against, the ruling said, there were other ways to resolve that under the law
