The RAF has banned servicewomen from wearing skirts on parade so that transgender personnel don't feel excluded.

The MoD has taken the stance on uniform after an increase in trans recruits and it hopes that the move will show it is a 'modern' and 'inclusive' force.

However, the decision has been slammed by servicewomen as political correctness gone 'mad'.

Just what the service needs....a bunch of men who can’t handle the wardrobe choice of women with actual female organs.

The insanity of liberalism never ceases to amaze me.

Never was so much demanded of so many by so few...

But that would not be exactly true. The number of people with gender confusion is tiny, true, but tiny numbers of people have demanded a great deal of the great mass of the people before. They are called tyrants...

A military is for wars, to prevent them, or, if necessary, to win them. I’d support a military composed exclusively of green zombie trans-dwarfs, if that were the best one for that purpose. To insist on diversity in the military for its own sake is deadly for a nation.

Sadly, you’re not far off.

My office had to frost over the glass windows in our office entrance doors.

Why? Because someone in a wheelchair wouldn’t be able to see through them, so neither could those with a higher viewpiont be able to use them. It’s a code in PA.

No, I’m not making this up.

As Britain bows down in abject submission, begging forgiveness, I have to ask how long before Britain strips the cross from its flag so as not to offend the millions of muzzlims they have brought into the country?

CA would not allow that because not seeing through doors may lead to a hidden rape going on.
Due to all the BS, even teachers have to leave there doors for office hours open for hen students are there so they are not accused of anything.

So now the women feel excluded because they can’t wear dresses. So much for Democracy where majority rules.
