Good and sensible news, girls and boys play mixed rugby until the age of 11 down here (iirc) and for a year or so later in Scotland, they're separated for their own safety as the size difference becomes more apparent, it's entirely appropriate this decision has been taken.

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 My main takeaways from that story: The UK does have restrictions on freedom of expression that might cause alarm or distress. Slightly overzealous policing which has already been called out by the force in question. And most importantly, how about everyone just starts being kind and stops posting garbage online that is designed solely to antogonise other groups, just like this guy did.

I'm more interested in the human angle - I don't understand the law enough. It's just disappointing that people do things like that - the guys posted a pic of a pride flag arranged like a swastika. What's the point in that? What's the "debate"? I just wish people wouldn't do that. Serves no positive purpose IMO and just divides us.

It’s a fact of life that free exchange of ideas runs the gauntlet of potentially offending folk and it has very little to do with kindness or otherwise.

I believe that this was done to emphasis how " Pride " and " Stonewall" are now viewed as an almost fascist organisation or movement where if ones dissents ( ie regarding biological sex as opposed to gender) they are not welcome in the " community". I wasnt offended by it. I felt it was very striking and got the point over very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
