Woke watch

Post arsene york-hunt »

"There is a very good section on GB news where the ludicrous idiocies of Wokeness are looked at I thought we would should have one for WHO. I'll start with Baptiste on BBC: In Hungary,an ambassador's family are kidnapped by Islamic terrorists and carry out atrocities. At the end of the last episode Baptiste finds out that it is a false flag operation and conveniently, the real culprits are white supremacists who want to stop all immigration. Coronation Street ITV a gay black footballer is stopped by the police, because he is driving an expensive car. He is pushed to the ground during an altercation, and damages his leg threatening his career. Could have been written by Dawn Butler or a BLM activist."

"That may be the case but what’s happened here is that staff have/have been told to rigorously enforce the nonsense. As I said, I give blood as often as I am eligible and have never once been forced to tick the ‘not pregnant’ box despite having a pregnant look about my burgeoning gut. That’s in Stratford though where the African nurse probably thinks it’s as stupid as I do."

"Re the blood thing - it is actually a necessary safeguard to ask the pregnancy question thing to people listed as men on the NHS system... because there were ""transmen"" (women who identify as men) was have chosen to be recorded as women on the core NHS records. It was suggested that this would be dangerous but such concerns were dismissed as transphobic and the NHS was transphobic. Then these ""men"" did not receive cervical smear test invitations. Obviously they didn't because they are recorded as men with the NHS. The fucking idiots. The fact they did not receive these letters was apparently transphobic. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-58515769 Point is, you can have people who ""identify"" as a man actually being women and potentially being pregnant. So NHS has to ask the question in case they accidentally terminate a pregnancy. If they didn't change people's medical records to match their ""gender identity"" this would not be a problem."

"The quote below that MiM posted shows that the people in charge of the Scottish health service are all on board. Probably won't be long before it happens here too though as yet, I haven't been asked whether I'm pregnant or not at the Stratford blood transfusion shop whenever I visit."

If anything is sinister it's that those in charge are not minded to do anything about it.

"I'd definitely go as far as saying it's sinister because it is a determined, institutional attempt to force a false and damaging idea of gender on the majority of the population who believe in old fashioned ideas such as the idea that men can't get pregnant. It is an example of a small number of powerful people coercing a large number of people to do their bidding. It is sinister. You either go along with this or you don't. Going along with the supposedly benign versions of it just allow the proponents of the madness to use those benign things as stepping stones to the more harmful practices they want to promote."

", 11:22 Sun Jun 19 Re: Woke watch Comma, that's bollocks. Athletics deals with issues around biological sex, specifically whether athletes born with Disorders in Sexual Development (DSDs, often known as 'intersex' conditions) should be categorised as male or female. Castor Semenya being the most well known but by no means the only example. That is a difficult issue with no easy solution. Again, because it is about sex. However, the issue of ""gender"" in sport is simple. It doesn't matter what gender you define yourself as. Sport is categorised in male and female. FINA have decided basically that only females can participate in female sport. Good on them."

"Scorch ""It's probably just a poorly, quickly and cheaply designed form by idiots rather than anything purposely sinister."" From the article: ""They said the policy ‘promotes inclusiveness’, arguing it is not always clear if someone is pregnant..... .... Professor Marc Turner, director of the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service, said: ‘We appreciate the support of each and every one of our donor community and thank Mr Sinclair for his commitment over a long number of years. ‘Whilst pregnancy is only a relevant question to those whose biological sex or sex assigned at birth is female, sex assigned at birth is not always visually clear to staff. ‘As a public body we take cognisance of changes in society around how such questions may be asked without discrimination and have a duty to promote inclusiveness – therefore all donors are now asked the same questions.’"" Maybe ""sinister"" isn't the right word, but its evidently part of an agenda, and their top dog using nonsensical bollocks newspeak like ""sex assigned at birth""* shows he's fully on board with the new religion. This stuff needs calling out, and any ire should be saved for the people promoting it, not the ones calling it out. *(sex isn't ""assigned at birth"", and anyone in medicine using this sort of language should know better)"

With the amount the NHS spend on administration it should be nigh-on impossible for them to put out bollocksy questionnaires. Top marks to the fellow for not doing anything just for a quiet life.

I'd have ticked the yes box and then spent the next hour gently rubbing my fat stomach.

"This bloke who wouldn't fill in the form sounds like a right fucking idiot. It's just a simple yes or no on a form and he said, ""they've been denied my blood because of the obligation to answer a question that can't possibly be answered."" Duh, I think ticking no would have answered that question quite satisfactorily. The previous question on the form was ""What is your job?"" Now, if he'd been unemployed at the time he'd have really struggled with that. The one before that was ""Will you be working at depth or height in the next 24 hours?"" Apparently he was fine with predicting the future too. Whether you're pregnant or not is impossible to answer though, apparently."

"If you are a man and you're told by the High Priests/Priestesses of the state religion that you must declare yourself as not being pregnant because the state religion has now determined that men can in fact get pregnant, then by going along with it and ticking no, you are affirming this gibberish about men being able to get pregnant. The more people that go along with it, the more entrenched it becomes."

"Maybe, like his manager in the NHS, English was not the first language of the person tasked with designing the form and as neither could see the problem, it got approved and introduced without further question."

"Eerie Descent 1:57 Not really. loads of medical forms are unisex. I'm sure we've all ticked similar things many times without thinking twice. Sure they could lay it out differently and go 'if you ticked male then proceed to section B', or 'Don't answer question 6' but at the end of the day yes it's a bit silly but just tick 'no'."

The only thing I would say is let these younger generations who are advocating all this stupidity wrap themselves up in it…..one less thing they can blame the older generations over……and they will try…..it is also now their time to stand up if they have a problem…..I am now quite happy for them to wallow in their own shit when it hits……as they have no time for our older generations little acts of defiance….in fact they will be quite willing to ‘cancel’ us…..

"Hermit Road 1:51 Mon Jun 20 I would argue that all this woke bollocks is an attempt to foggy the memories of those that had a happy past (I loved growing up in Chadwell Heath and (apart from my divorce) everything about my life so far. Seems that woke is pushed by those that didn't have as happy a past as me (and maybe many of us) and demand that I/we remember their past (when things were not so good (only for them)) as opposed to MY past, of which I have many happy memories."
