Anonymity
A few days ago I received a text message from the NHS asking me to update my personal information held by the local health centre. It wasn’t a scam, I rang and checked.The message contained info I’d given many years ago. One item was sexuality. ‘Male’ was what I’d written then and under orientation I’d stated’heterosexual’ Obviously, someone in the NHS has ‘woke’ up and suggested that I might have changed my gender identity and to amend my details appropriately. Given that my DOB is on record and at the age of 85, I have no desire to explore an alternative lifestyle, seems to me that wokism seems to have gone completely off the rails. Whilst browsing through that NHS questionnaire I came across a new (to me) gender term, ‘abrosexual’. This apparently involves daily changes of moods and preferences for either sex, (although the term ‘either sex’ seems to have gone out the window). That latest term is currently number seven on the orientation scale, still not sure what the other six are but I doubt‘heterosexual’ ain’t numbered amongst them.

Maybe should write back and give them a true definition of a man John , “ A man is a person who came out of a woman and spends his life trying to get back in. “ There used to be a law against deviates who wanted all the options. Cheers JS

Re: Anonymity
Abrosexual? Sounds like someone who has sex with his brother, and don't laugh, many years ago my wife worked in a hospital where a young bloke died of aids, caught it off his brother.

Necrophilia what about that one Des ? Having sex with dead bodies. Think of that one when one is laid to rest. Maybe why cremation is so common ? JS

Re: Anonymity
No worries mate, our feral gov is to put another question into the next census.
What is your gender, are you LBGTQIA or are you male or female?
The reason, so the gov can find out where they live and give the services they require????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Anonymity
John.
Always thought the Pm was a bit queer, the wife and I are going to put Neutral on ours, keep them guessing.
Went up to vote in the Council elections yesterday, about forty standing for I think six places, didn't know one of them so I closed my eyes and dabbed a mark in one of the top boxes, don't think it will make a difference in the scheme of things.

Re: Anonymity
Hi John
You may be right everything s pot luck today, I just took the car up for a rego inspection, I knew I had to have two new tires, so had told the garage to get them, They where very quick, the mechanic had the wheels off and tires stripped in minutes, only to find that the Co had sent the wrong size tires, now they couldn't pass the rego with bum tires , but in the end they did, new tires arriving tomorrow.
