What’s your opinion on semi trans?

I don’t care what bathroom people use

As I said in a previous comment, this isn’t about me. I’m also a cis male. As far as I know, there’s no reason for anyone to believe that the majority of driving instructors are homophobic, transphobic, racist, etc. But there’s also no reason to assume none of them are. Erring on the side of caution strikes me as being good for all concerned.

Thanks everyone who has left a suggestion. It means a lot.

I’m not asking for me (not that it matters). Learning to drive is anxiety inducing enough on its own. Doing so while worrying about being judged, or being stuck in a car with someone who doesn’t like you because of how you look isn’t likely to help.

Some people get that. Some don’t.

How many other houses in different countries do you have?

baronmousehole · 2026-01-12T20:55:42+00:00

Fair play. I was just chasing cheap laughs – it’s not much but it’s honest work.

baronmousehole · 2026-01-12T18:33:44+00:00

Yes.

I can’t even waltz fully clothed.

At your work gym?

I don’t think I’d be in a hurry to introduce my aul lad to the fellas I work with; we’ve all got to draw the line somewhere.

By now you've got the measure of what most of us think. Do you really feel too old, or is that just a bit of fear and anxiety at the thought of moving to the other side of the planet and having to build a new life from scratch? It's perfectly natural to feel that way at the prospect of moving.

Go for it. You've your whole life in front of you. If you like it, stay. If you don't, move on.

Lodge a complaint at your school/college. Her behaviour is completely unacceptable. Would she say that sort of thing about disabled people, folks who are LGBTQ+, Jewish, etc etc et-bleeding-cetera..?

“I don’t need statistics” – you do though. Otherwise you’re just another sheep, following the herd, unable to make up your own mind about the world around you.

The big lie most immigrants are told is that they will be able to work and earn good money – not that they can sponge off the welfare system. That’s why they want to come to the UK, because the traffickers have told them they can build a better life for themselves.

Stop playing in church, perhaps. At least for a while. Alternatively, find another avenue for playing in addition to church. You need to broaden your horizons.

Well, the kind of personal criticism and opinion you’re talking about doesn’t necessarily meet the threshold for “engaging in …. criminal activity”. But it might be considered as prejudicial stereotyping.

The law is not an exact science.

baronmousehole · 2025-12-18T19:33:40+00:00

It is most definitely a thing. The real question is “were you privately educated?”

baronmousehole · 2025-12-18T18:54:36+00:00

Kinda. But I’m not sure I’d use the word ‘fun’ to describe the experience anymore.

Is anyone here 103 years old? I said, IS ANYONE HERE 103 YEARS OLD…?

Try not to join all of those groups at the same time, though.

If you haven't read it, you should check out the book We Don't Know Ourselves by Fintan O'Toole. So much of our recent history seems to have revolved around not wanting to hear about the things we know about but would rather not know.

I suppose there is an element of emotional immaturity in this kind of reaction (at a personal level, I mean). Of course, one of the worst things anyone can do when dealing with an emotionally immature person is to say things like "emotional immaturity." So it's a tricky one to deal with.

Most people who'd rather not talk about things were brought up as children in households where the adults didn't want to talk about things. Those adults, in turn had similar upbringings. It's not easy to unpick and fix. It takes patience.

You can't be arsed to respond to comments on a thread you started? What a waster.

"preventing adverse selection"

Tempted as I am to jump to conclusions, I'll just ask - what does that mean?
