Meanwhile Across The Pond

You might know him as the former co-host of the BBC show “Top Gear” Jeremy Clarkson just opening his trap again.
Jeremy Clarkson has hit out at a report that calls for gender-neutral toilets in Parliament, claiming “you might as well install urinals suitable for Klingons”.

A report commissioned by Commons Speaker John Bercow last week recommended Parliament introduce gender neutral toilets for MPs, staff and visitors “to plan for a future sex/gender parity and diverse Parliament”.
[…]
Jeremy Clarkson claimed in a column in the Sun that it was like introducing toilets for aliens.

He wrote: “This is seen as part of an ongoing struggle to fight sexism and prejudice. Hmmm.

“More like part of an ongoing struggle for our leaders to completely detach themselves from reality.

“First of all, there are no transgender MPs that I’m aware of. So why use taxpayers’ money to provide a facility that isn’t necessary?

“You might as well install urinals suitable for Klingons.”

He continued to mock trans people’s infertility, saying: “It’s all very well fighting for a man’s right to have babies.

“But where’s the foetus going to gestate? In a box?”
It just goes to show you that ignorance and bigotry knows no bounds.



This afternoon I am at the Canton Senior Center for the LGBT Movable Senior Center, this is just one MSC event that is part of a multi-year project to help LGBT seniors meet and have fun.
