    Hardly. And why not? Why do you seek to repress what I chose to mention online? Like it or otherwise, the vast majority majority of folk don’t have to go far to ‘discover’ their gender.

    I have no interest in the relentless naval gazing regarding gender that disproportionately dominates online conversations, likely perpetuated by bad actors trying to push a niche issue into the mainstream to further splinter the left, but to my mind pushing a collective that removes gender from people until they decide at some arbitrary age what they want to be is not the change most people want.

      You’re not being pushed towards anything by me. Normalising safe practices is not the same as making it required law

      I am merely pointing out that in most contexts people don’t require that information and the less information about your kids is out there the safer they are.

      I know that gender has been made political, but it shouldn’t be. Frankly its dumb that people care so much for something that is rarely relevant outside the bedroom.

        Fair enough, perhaps I overreacted. I’m not particularly concerned that mentioning the gender or number of sprogs I have as part of a broader conversation poses a risk as such, but I take your point.
