Lesbian = non-man attracted to non-man.
Gay = non-woman attracted to non-woman.

How does anyone know if they are a woman or a man or not?

I suspect school kids are getting fed up with this stuff.

Give all the money back to his descendants.

Colston didn't have any children, that is why he gave his wealth away to charities to benefit the poor and disadvantaged and to educate children who may not otherwise have benefited from an education.

He was of his time.

Here's the whole poster.
It has untrue statements about people with DSDs, also - whom it refers to as 'intersex'.

Why would you comment that it might be a leg pull, if it all looks perfectly fine to you?

A person would normally only say that if they thought there was something strange about it.

Lesbian = non-man attracted to non-man.
Gay = non-woman attracted to non-woman.

^How does anyone know if they are a woman or a man or not?^

I googled the school to find out more about it. There wasn't anything on the website and it looked a very traditional school, so I thought someone might be playing a joke on them. It says more about my prejudice about old independant schools (which I absolutely acknowledge) than it does about my LGBTQ opinions. I fully admit it isn't the sort of thing I thought such schools did.

Colston's philanthropy didnt extend to seeing enslaved people as human.

Beats me, given that logic. What is a woman, if female people who are attracted to other female people are 'non-men', and male people who are attracted to other male people are 'non-women'? And what is a man?

It's like one of those 'if Pat lives in a house with a red front door, and is not married to Sam, who does not drive a green car, who is Chris's milkman?' puzzles.

Oops! 'Who is Chris's milkman-woman?'

Doodledog Sat 26-Jun-21 18:33:14

Arrghh! Milknon-woman ? Assuming the milk deliverer is a male person who is not attracted to other men, that is.

I think. Anyone confused about their sexuality is going to be entirely baffled by this nonsense.

Thanks for your helpful elucidation, Doodledog.

Welbeck that’s how it was then, just as in the 50’s and 60’s reactions to gay people was so negative. Things have improved so mush as we have become more enlightened.

Much not mush
