A union in Britain that represents academics has declared its commitment to allowing members to "self-identify" not only as being of the opposite sex, but also as black or disabled.

The Edinburgh branch of the U.K.-wide University and College Union said on Twitter it strongly supports "trans inclusion," the Times of London reported.

"Liberation cannot be built on exclusion," the tweet said.

The tweet contained a link to a policy endorsed by the union that states: "UCU has a long history of enabling members to self-identify, whether that is being black, disabled, LGBT+ or women."

Hmmmm. Though not bloody likely, what would their reaction be if one of their members self ID themselves as fully vaxxed? Think they would be excluded? I know, silly question. There are limits right?

This could be a good thing, altogether. Before, you couldn’t be sure when you struck up a first conversation with a stranger if they were rational or a total weirdo. Like, I think it was a story/parable, mebbe a real act; but if a woman were “found guilty” of being a ........ tart, an adulteress, she’d have the letter “A” painted onto her forehead.

With this act of “inclusion” if an obvious guy states that you must consider him a woman, now, you know to save yourself wasted time and simply walk away.
And, you just KNOW that these types are just dying to gush on about how brave they are to “out” themselves.

Today I identify as a microbe from Andromeda. Tomorrow I will identify as a 70 million year old brontosaurus. The day after that I will identify as a butterfly. Then I will identity as a Neanderthal named Glorp. This identifying business really keeps one busy!

These are the same people that are shutting opinions down due to “misinformation”
