Didsbury Village now experiencing drive bys? Will anywhere remain untouched...although it's not a surprise it occurred in these dreadful chain bar additions :(
.....and the Students Union are even more stupid for listening to these people. If you can't decide what you are, don't force others to fit in with your weird life.
I'm with you Paul - whilst I *look* to be male on the outside, I know I'm female on the inside, thus I'm assuming allowed to use the female toilets? and changing rooms? and showers? and that any male person is allowed to use the 'toilets' as well as the 'toilets with urinals'?
Maybe the transgender people should use the disabled toilets. Haven't the male ones in effect been disabled after all?
On the outside I appear to be a human male however I inside I know I am a male dog. I'm going to a gig at Man Univ soon and I hope they have got a special lampost for me to piddle against....if they aint I'm sueing em for discrimination - the damned fascist oppressors!
