McCoist has bottled it and now says he won't be going to the game after all as he has "family commitments".

Probably not that would be too blatant but I suspect he will be unable to resist humming along to the Billy Boys.

My favourite part is in the myths and misconceptions bit:

Myth: being asexual is a phase
Reality: being asexual is not a phase, although asexual people may identify otherwise at different stages of their lives

Thought I’d check to see how far away from the actual quote I paraphrased, but nope, here it is:

“While people might change how they identify over the course of their lives, being ace isn’t a ‘phase’ and there are plenty of older ace people. One of the biggest myths about ace people is that they ‘just haven’t met the right person yet’, which can be particularly damaging to hear.”

I love the boldly stated assertion that it’s damaging to promote the idea to “asexual people” that their absence of interest in sex could simply be that they only rarely fancy people. Apparently it’s far, far better to treat absence of interest in sex as an identity and orientation, and create a community around it (from which members will be exiled if they actually do end up fancying someone)

Abject nonsense

It’s astonishing how closely the trans rights/queer activism movement just restates 70’s/80s comedian’s material earnestly. See also the Bernard Manning “I must be a lesbian!” joke

Saw someone say the other day that Peter Tatchell was acting like he'd had a bang on the head and I see what they mean.

It’s impossible to advocate for trans activism within an actual debate against those who oppose it without sounding like you’ve had a bang on the head, to be fair.

Peter Tatchell has picked a side, but he doesn’t even understand what his side thinks, let alone what opponents think.

This is typical of the whole thing; Clownfish change sex, therefore… what? Humans do? We should pretend humans do? We should adapt society so humans who wish they could are treated as if they had?
