      It means he can't "accidentally" wander into the ladies any more.

        "Welfare officer Jennie Killip told the BBC: "If you were born female, still present quite feminine, but define as a man you should be able to go into the men's toilets - if that's how you define.

        "You don't necessarily have had to have gender reassignment surgery, but you could just define yourself as a man, feel very masculine in yourself, feel that in fact being a woman is not who you are."

            So, a man could walk into the ladies toilets and justify it by saying "I define myself as a woman"? This country has gone stark raving bonkers...

                Indeed How about a man using a kiddies' loo, then piping-up with, "Hey! Don't trespass on my self-definition!".

                I remember with hatred and disgust the few students' union meetings I attended at Hatfield Poly back in the 80s: a maggot-infested corpse of a lash-up it all was, with numerous cliques, whose purpose in life was to create problems wherever they'd never existed before, only to offer up a Leftie and trashy "solution" (with a price tag, always a price tag), thus furthering their journey to New Labour-ism and CV padding. That Manchester Uni is also firmly in the grip of this sort of fabulous dross is, sadly, no surprise.

                  FRANCIS: Yeah. I think Judith's point of view is very valid, Reg, provided the Movement never forgets that it is the inalienable right of every man--

                  STAN: Or woman.

                  FRANCIS: Or woman... to rid himself--

                  STAN: Or herself.

                  FRANCIS: Or herself.

                  REG: Agreed.

                  FRANCIS: Thank you, brother.

                  STAN: Or sister.

                  FRANCIS: Or sister. Where was I?

                  REG: I think you'd finished.

                  FRANCIS: Oh. Right.

                  REG: Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man--

                  STAN: Or woman.

                  REG: Why don't you shut up about women, Stan. You're putting us off.

                  STAN: Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.

                  FRANCIS: Why are you always on about women, Stan?

                  STAN: I want to be one.

                  REG: What?

                  STAN: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me
                  'Loretta'.

                  REG: What?!

                  LORETTA: It's my right as a man.

                  JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?

                  LORETTA: I want to have babies.

                  REG: You want to have babies?!

                  LORETTA: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.

                  REG: But... you can't have babies.

                  LORETTA: Don't you oppress me.

                  REG: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!

                    Talking of political correctness, I think these people would be offended if they realised that ferret was automatically labelling them "prats" on here.

                    I defend the rights of the people of Nork (borough of Reigate) against Ferret's fascist censorship regime. Freedom for Nork!
