No quitten we're whelan on to chitchat 11

There's Alot of the tails aren't stick on I'm informed😬😬😬😬🫨

Go Organic and put your feet up 🫣🫣

Unfortunately the wrong idiots took the case. The journalist's are lapping it up. To win this case you had to work the system. No roaring or shouting just refuse, work the system.

Children cannot be children any more. There was always a hard edge to being a child. I tended to be a bit chubby as a child. I was called Pudsey ( I used it as my last alter ego here). I accepted it and got on with it. A lot of the children that slagged and teased me ( it's amazing but you have to bring google up to make sure you have the spelling correct) are fatter ( I am no slim chicken) and have nothing to show for it.

It's got to the stage that society has to conform to the 5-10%. That is grand but it puts a huge strain on society and more especially children.

Often children are like chickens they have beaks on them but that is another story.

@whelan2 you were giving out about the soccer system a few days back. No system is fool proof. My youngest lad was a super hurler. But because he was not local and grew late I shielded him by telling him the truth.

Life is not f@@king fair. He actually was a flaking soccer player. But I explained ( @10-12, years of age how not only exceptional but lucky you needed to be to make it as a professional player. That a different story) to him that the system was going to work against him. He was good enough to make county panels but because we were a small club ( even though he always tempered his expectations saying he was a corner back rather than a WB, even though he played center back for the club at adult level when they had a former underage county CB at adult level. He has not played for two years now ( work has got in the way) and the club want him back and he is only 24 years of age.

At the end of it all as an old rural doctor said to me.''too many people thing there kids are cygnets when they are actually ducklings ''

But going back to they and pronoun's. WTF would you put your child through it. Paul Murphy has decided his child will be gender neutral. FFS why would you put your child through that sh!t.

Will he wear a pink to school for junior infants and blue for infants or visa versa.

Yesterday over a couple of Bulmers cider with my youngest. We got to talking about making decisions as parent. About school/school's ( I am a fierce believer in sending your children to the LOCAL school) and parents making subject choices.

I did a lot of trade subjects in a Tech. God have they got a bad name both the Tech's and the trade subjects.

I pushed my lads to do maths and Technical graphics as opposed Woodwork.

If you want to play politically correct decisions with you kids life. Maybe it will work out. Maybe not.

Life is a b!tch, but is it he/ she or you that will live it.

Now and again a bit of privacy in these decisions matters most. Life is for getting on with not an advertising exercise by parents whether it's about GAA, Soccer or sexualities.

Even if my son or daughter were unsure about there sexualities I not sure I would be making it an issue at a school. Mind you Enoch would not help either.

If they want yo dress up and act like Pussycat's I be inclined to give them a kick in the ar5e.

But then I am not an old foggie that is politically incorrect.

I think the way Enoch and his family have carried on is what has meant not many are supporting them. You can't carry on like that in a court room. No one is above the law no matter what your opinion is of things. Its a bit like the person who is always right even when they are very wrong

That's my worry (I honestly have no opinion either way to the rights or wrongs of his beliefs) the court system appears broke if a stance is not taken about him attending school and interrupting court hearings. It has the potential to open pandoros box for all sorts of protests.

Girls can be right bitches to each other

Thinking back I would say my sexuality wasn’t fully cemented until my mid/late teens, but it cemented very solidly. It’s a difficult time to navigate. And I think an introverted shy kid has a harder time than any trysexual😂

reading up on it the brain is developing and creating links and programming from when your a nipper right up through adulthood. I think if now a youngster was wondering about why he/she were feeling one way or the other the fact that conventional wisdom of being advised to wait till things settle before you’ll know for sure is gone.

There’s a load of new options coming on the calf reg for free Martin Heifers tick M ,F, T(They). NB (non binary)

Tick what you feel it should be identified as

I think they went ''they'' singular not they they

Ask a male teacher in a primary school staff room what women are like to each other.

Apparently one of the worst work environments

Absolutely, while it can happen anywhere you've toxic people, you'd hear of it a lot from nurses, it's a lot of the problem with the HSE, but is completely taboo of course.

Lots of good people pushed out.

Young fellas seem to be learning how to dress themselves for going out recently. A few years back all they seemed to have was sportswear. The girls would be done up to the nines and chap beside her in a T-shirt and tracksuit with runners.

Just reading a UK article there about a cafe that changed the name of the Ploughman's lunch to ploughpersons lunch🙄

The belt was a joke around our area about the girls attire. We were it was insinuating that they were only wearing a belt
