We are TWO DIFFERENT SEXES

Caster Semenya  Hmmm

Interesting article here about intersex athletes....

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jul/29/what-is-an-intersex-athlete-explaining-the-case-of-caster-semenya

Of course, Caster just reflects the fact that there are individuals who don't fit into your somewhat, old fashioned binary view of sexuality.

Following the theme above there has been something of a spat on Twitter regarding Chris Boardman saying during the commentary when Kenny hugged Trott at the end 'he's probably just saying whats for tea' - now if anyone knows the context this was merely pointing out how ridiculously laid back Kenny is when under pressure (which he was), but it has been grasped by quite a few as some manner of sexist slur?

Waking up to find that, for no apparent reason, the back of my left knee is extremely sore.

Oh, the joys of being forty-something.

Did you know there is no proper name for the back of the knee?  Smiley

Theres been a twitter outcry calling Ellen DeGeneres (sp) a racist for posting a photoshop of her getting a piggy back from Usain Bolt with the caption "This is how i will run my errands from now on"

The popliteal fossa (sometimes referred to as the kneepit) is a shallow depression located at the back of the knee joint. The bones of the popliteal fossa are the femur and the tibia.

Anyone who has an issue with that needs to take a long hard look at themselves.

It's getting to the stage where anyone with any sort of public platform can't make a little joke

Most of this sort of idiocy only happens in the cyber world....meanwhile those people who live in the real world, are quite happily oblivious to these petty concerns.

If you are in the public eye and partake of such as Twitter, you surely have to accept it's inevitable banality probably at your expense....after all it's not compulsory.

Yep, the best of luck with that. When you find yourself past your sexual attractiveness and in your mid thirties on your own in a house full of cats as no real man would put up with your ranting feminist bullshit you will have a lot of time to reflect on your choices.

You will probably be fat and ugly with lots of piercings and tattoos as well by then.

All the best
