The Guardian's cartoonist put this out today.

 

 

Turns out, the DM are furious and going on a hell bent rant against the Guardian tomorrow!

 

 

Love a media war.

Truth hurts for them doesn't it. Horrible rags deserve to put out of business.

I would never do this.

 

 

Saw that this morning.

 

For those without a backstory, guy bought a second hand parachute, never been skydiving and taught himself on Youtube. He couldn't afford the plane, so "tested" his chute out from off his balcony. Clearly the wife/daughter is very distressed by the situation. He cracks it though.

Parent Kori Doty - a non-binary transgender person who identifies as neither male nor female - aims to allow the child to discover their own gender.

 

The health card has been issued with a "U" in the space for "sex", which could be for "undetermined" or "unassigned".

 

Kori Doty is fighting to omit the gender from the birth certificate.

 

The parent gave birth to Searyl Atli in November at a friend's home in British Columbia. Kori Doty, who prefers to use the pronoun they, argues that a visual inspection at birth is unable to determine what gender that person will have or identify with later in life.

 

The family's lawyer, barbara findlay, who chooses to spell her name without capital letters, told Global News: "The assignment of sex in this culture is done when a medical person lifts up the legs and looks at the baby's genitals. But we know that the baby's own gender identity will not develop for some years until after they're born."

Story might be slightly odd in itself but what I can't understand is why anyone in their right mind would pay actual real money to visit a "wax statue" emporium. £29 minimum entry in London, €19.50 here in Amsterdam (both those only if you book online up front, walk up is more). To look at "people" made of wax :dont know:.

 

And there are queues to get in!! The world is insane, either that or I am.
