Cheers man, good if you to post that. Regarding my niece, we were asked to use their new name about two years ago, when they were 15ish. They dress as male, but in actual fact it’s more non-gender specific- jeans, band shirts etc. They keep their hair short. I still refer to them as my niece because other than being asked to use their new name, that’s all the info we’ve had. I use they/them because I don’t know what else to use, and niece because as far as I’m aware there isn’t a non-gender version. My Mrs’ family are all onboard, but just don’t ever talk about the stuff I’d like to know- just the basics, would they like be referred to as he/him, she/her, or they /them? Niece or Nephew? I suspect if things follow their logical course, the discussion will be had, but I’d have preferred it done so we don’t inadvertently upset them.

I’d forgotten your sis is trans mate. That whole experience must’ve been challenging for everyone concerned. One of my nieces is probably going to transition soon- they have already asked everyone to call them by their (male) name of choice, and once they reach 18 I’d imagine the full process will begin. How long did the transition take in your sisters case, if you’re ok talking about it?

Genuine question- a post-op trans man, can they pee out of it? Also, I’d say that grasping the Etiquette of Urinal Use and Placement of Self Therein would be much harder for a trans man than which cubicle to use for a trans woman.

Answering my own question. In 1292, after a conclave lasting two years without choosing a pope, a Benedictine hermit called Pietro de Morrone sent a letter saying if a pope was not chosen quickly, divine retribution would fall on them. The leader of the Conclave immediately declared Pietro as the Pope, and the conclave ratified the choice with no exceptions. Upon being told of his new job, Pietro ran away and hid, refusing to take up his new role. Eventually he was persuaded to accept and became Clementine V , and his first and only papal decree, immediately upon taking up the role, was to introduce the right of resignation for popes. As soon as the decree was passed, he resigned

I’d be interested to see how quickly I could get in the news if I started a “ Make All Toilets Unisex” campaign from scratch on social media. I’d give myself two weeks. But I won’t, because I can’t be arsed.

Does whoever is picked have the option to say “thanks but no thanks”? Has that ever happened? So many Pope questions, so little time. I reckon if they introduced one new rule- “ anyone can ask to be pope, but if you aren’t chosen you die”, it would speed things up and let them burn their little bonfire way sooner than now.

I’ve given up on Death Stranding for now. My time for games is currently less than normal, and I just don’t have time to wait 10 minutes for some moody nerd to tell me a character’s name. Then play for 2 minutes. Then watch for another 10-15 to find out that the newly named character lives “here”. I’ve battered my way through Far Cry 4 and Primal, currently 2/3 through 5, and I’ve got the remainder cued up. Open game- do a few missions, skin a few bears, find some stashes. Sweet

I’ve thought this since the whole debate began. It’s such a vanishingly small proportion of the population, yet it’s been front page news for several years now. It’s much like immigration tbh- as you point out, it’s a thing that will have very little direct impact on the vast majority of people, so I can’t fathom why so many people have such strong feelings about it ( I know why- because their media of choice tells them it matters). Meanwhile, worker rights have been decimated, the NHS is on its last legs, and I’m about to apply for a second mortgage to buy next weeks shopping and nobody seems to give a fuck.
