Gender, what the 'eck is it?

It’s a funny world. Especially in the West. Where we have hour long, nay, week long discussions whether we are male, female, or none of the above. Whole books are written with ideas of how to dress if you are born male but feel you have a vag*na. Whilst the rest of the world worries what to have for breakfast being the only chance for food for the day, we bluster on about same-sex. Whatever. But it is worrying when policies have to be produced such as the one in the Met (Metropolitan Police aka Scotland Yard – the London police) outlining in some detail what it is all about. The following makes it crystal clear what bobbies have to know and will probably have to sit an exam to see whether they are male, female, or non-binary. This is from their report:

There are three key aspects of gender:
• Gender Identity – What gender the individual identifies with. • Gender Presentation – How an individual wishes to present their gender.
• Biological Sex – What biological markers (genitalia, chromosomes etc.) an
individual has.

Biological sex is largely assigned at birth, depending on the appearance of the genitals. Gender identity is the gender that a person ‘identifies’ with or feels
themselves to be, and gender presentation is how they wish to present their gender
to the outside world. While biological sex and gender identity are the same for most people, this isn’t the case for everyone. For example, some people may have male anatomy, but identify as female, while others many not feel they’re definitively either male or female. This disparity between sex and gender identity can lead to distressing and painful feelings that are called gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria is a recognised medical condition. It is not a mental illness. An umbrella term for people who do not identify solely with a single gender is “non-binary gender”.

Now that you know that, have a quick look in your pants to see which one you are. All Met officers apparently have to do this now. Besides there are to be discussions whether the uniform has to be non-sexist. Even Peter Thatchell has an opinion, God help us all. No difference between what men and women wear. It is beginning to look awfully like it has been depicted in some films and in books, a world where everyone looks the same. EXACTLY the same. Same clothes, same vacant expression. We might even end up in an enclosed space, an enormous bubble where humans live till 40 and then are done away with like in the 70’s film “Logan’s Run” (Michael York and Jenny Agutter). Only we cannot distinguish between characters as they all look exactly alike. So, who kisses who? I don’t know, it could be the cat. Even so, for police officers to have to go through this drivel is yet another nail in the coffin. It is sad that we have to pander to the opinions of an idiotic minority who will tell all and sundry how to live, how to dress, how to behave and also tell us whether we should be male, female or none of the above. Well, I’m male and I am damned if I will question my gender. But you can, just don’t tell me!

Where are the aliens?

  The question and Answer software called ‘Quora’ had some quite interesting debate about aliens. I am bowled over by how many, and some are quite educated, believe in aliens. Particularly that they have been here and not just that, are still here and doing great intelligent things like making crop circles. I have to be honest here and say that yes there are aliens except we will never see or hear them. As probability will tell you that with trillions of galaxies, having billions of stars the likelihood of other life is near to 100%. The problem is that life such as ours on Earth needs to move but in such a way as is possible on Earth. That is to say, a gravity of 1, oxygen to breathe and food of a kind that is digestible. The next thing to consider is movement, meaning star travel. It is pretty clear that life such as on Earth is not really around in our solar system. We might find some microbes but that’s about it . The distances between the star systems even

Is there such a thing as mind-control?

One of my favourite author’s Scott Mariani. Writing explosive stories with the great character he created, Benedict Hope. The latest gung-ho story called The Moscow Cipher actually highlights one of the things that has bothered a lot of people. That of mind-control. I’ve wondered about that as well since even in this country that is a process carried out. It is not a bloody affair as depicted in the book but nevertheless computers, the power of the chip has made it so much easier to influence the minds of the general public. Fake news, little bits of untruths here and there. No hesitation in deluding the general public. Just read, listen and make your mind up. All done in the name of “the truth would harm us all”. But will it? . We have smart phones. With chips that know where we are, what we do and what we say. And yes, it is logged somewhere. We have been rail-roaded into using Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp. Google knows more about you than the taxman or even your partner and that

Is humanity performing euthanasia on itself?

Looking at the happenings in the Middle East I wonder how suddenly Hamas, i.e the de-facto army of the so-called Palestinian state, took it upon themselves to invade Israel. It cannot be a coincidence that Russia needed some pressures, not in Ukraine but somewhere else to take away the limelight on them. W here better than the Middle East. I am virtually certain that one way or another there are political shenanigans afoot. What IS Palestine exactly? I know about Bedouins, Arabs and Jews, are these not all one and the same? Sure, there are different religions but if you look very closely there are great similarities. It is stupid of most of us not to notice but three of the most followed religions are all based on the same precedents. So w here does the term Palestine come from, I might ask. There was the Ottoman empire, and prior to that the Roman. Prior to that Alexander rampaged through the area. Prior to that we had Egyptians, Hittites and God knows what else. Even monkeys held sw
