One thing I am increasingly sure of is that this media addiction has actually made some people who were never on board with this kind of stuff more defensive and more forthright in their views than they were in the 90s. I remember watching the Crying Game as a kid and being shocked by the reveal....but then it wasn't that big a deal or something worth mentioning in school the next day. You just moved on.

Like I hinted earlier, I'm really begining to believe there is going to be a very intense and unfortunate backlash if the media and authorities don't take a chill pill and let things just evolve naturally. We didn't have this kind of acrimony when gay marriage was allowed, it just felt organic and you could hardly hear a whimper against it.

BTW, my response is probably targeted more at Transgender related news, which Sky also wrote about today....but yeah, we are meant to see all things as the same ..at least that's what the media keeps drumming in our ears.

The whole trans thing is really toxic - it really doesn't help that its advocates try to put it alongside being black, gay, female etc as something which is discriminated against in a (no pun intended) black-and-white way and if you're against you're some kind of intolerant nazi

the trans issue is far more nuanced, and some of the pro-trans agenda actually potentially infringes on women's rights in places, also it encourages kids/young people to make life-changing decisions which, IMPO, they're not ready to make

it should be discussed very calmly, not at the shrieking volume we see in reality

I think if you ask anyone who regularly watches arsenal they'd tell you Martinelli was better than him last season.

I did say at the time Odegaard was our player of the season, because he was the most improved. It wasn’t scoring against Spurs, it was his overall contribution to our attack. Do I think he still went missing against Liverpool and City away from home? Yes and that is disappointing but he was excellent last season but has reverted to type this season.

But he’s 24 so doesn’t count as a young player

Although his obsession over Saka is over the top, he’s right that he wasn’t the best player at Arsenal last season

I think you’d acknowledge that as well.
