    "I THINK THERE'S BEEN A RAPE UP THERE!"

    "...Always get their attention!"
    Can I say right now, that I've never heard one account of a man who dragged up/ started transition as a wily ruse to get into a woman's changing room/ toilet.

    And I'll tell you why not. Because the practicalities of carrying that out are both mental and extreme.

    As a 'regular fella' would you wander the street in women's clothing trying to pass as female? To go against social convention like. That, takes an incredible amount of bravery.

    To got that far, just to get access to a women's place of sanctuary..... That seems incredibly unlikely.

    And this is it - for some reason, idiots and ****wits seem to think all trans people are out to "get a bit" and invent these ridiculous laws. Even better idea - how about not being a cheapskate with your toilet cubicles, and making them floor to ceiling? Seems extreme, but surely it's a lot better than everyone getting their knickers in a twist because they think some butch lesbian is a boy trying to cop an eyeful when she's really just wanting to chuck a piss or a shit.

    Causing trouble? Fine, evict. But I suspect this was posted because the OP wanted to cause some kind of DS forum "debate" so that all the fellow morons could each use their one rattling brain cell to belittle her for looking like a guy.

    That is the general idea of a forum.:confused::confused::confused:

    Are you calling anyone an idiot, please clarify your remarks.

    I think this post is very unreasonable, quite honestly. Whilst I'm all for absolute fair play for transgender folk, you also have to understand the very real fear some females have for being sexually assaulted.

    Nobody's belittling the girl in question. Merely stating facts.

    Really no need to adopt such a hostile and aggressive tone towards others. As far as the OP, are you forum police deciding what should and shouldn't be debated, and then questioning FM's intellects for doing so? How arrogant can you get?

    Wouldn't dream of calling anyone an idiot. Merely stating there's debate and there's "debate". But of course, idiots are allowed to "debate" on a light entertainment website as much as the next person... Idiots are also allowed to vote...

    We have never elected a hitler, so we can't be that bad.

    The Sun reports.



    I think McDonalds made an honest mistake. Also the group she was with was causing trouble.

    She does have her hair styled just like a lad's. I would probably think she was male if I saw her. If you're going to have your hair styled just like some lads do, you shouldn't be surprised if people think you're male. If her voice sounds male, that will make people think even more that she's male.

    Says it all..
    "This group has been asked to leave the restaurant on numerous occasions over the past few days, culminating in the police being called on Tuesday evening. These actions have been taken due to unacceptable behaviour only."

    Non story. Why it made the papers I've no clue. Don't they have anything better to report?

    If you go out of your way to look like a boy you can't complain when people think you are one if you're not

    To be fair she does look like a young lad especially on first look, duck's arse haircut and all.

    I've never understood why gay men act camp and lesbians make themselves butch because if you're a gay man you're attracted to men who act like men and if you're a lesbian you're attracted to women who are feminine not women to do their best to make themselves look like men

    A) It's not an act, it's how they are naturally
    B) They aren't attracted to the same sex because of gender specific stereotypes.

    The ignorance is strong in you.

    I'm a lesbian and I'm pretty feminine. My girlfriend is quite feminine too. I bet if you saw us in real life you wouldn't clock either of us as being lesbians. When we're together we're usually mistaken for friends and people are always surprised when they find out we're actually a couple. I've also met quite a few masculine gay men who you wouldn't guess were gay.

    I think it's much more likely that people tend to notice the butch lesbians and the feminine gay men because they're obviously gay if you see what I mean. I'm sure you probably see plenty of feminine lesbians and masculine gay men, you just don't realise that's what they are.

    Probably because human sexuality is complex and varied. Different people like different things.

    Sounds like a genuine mistake, but as she is obviously aiming to look like a boy I would have thought she would have been chuffed.

    To me it looks like a rowdy person was thrown out of McDonalds, the person thrown out has played her trump card in that she was a lesbian, no doubt had she been black she would have accused them of racism as well.

    This is exactly the point. Why on Earth people are so obsessed with what's between the legs of the person in the cubicle next to them is beyond me.

    Well, exactly. Both men and women use my toilet at home...:D

    I don't think she's "aiming to look like a boy" - she's just gone for a common lesbian "look".
