Madness on stilts.An extract from the piece:

Meanwhile, “sex is the label we’re assigned by a doctor when we’re born” the training material seen by The Telegraph says. This label does not cover the “range of innate gender identities a person might have”, the material maintains. It states: “In truth, our understanding of the amount of difference between bodies is only just emerging, and current research indicates that there is probably more of a physical spectrum of biological sex rather than the simple binary of male and female.” The guidance also says that scientific research “increasingly shows that everyone’s biology is complex and doesn’t fit a simple binary anyway”.

Firefighting is, of course, only one of numerous lines of work – the police and front-line miltary roles come inevitably to mind – where physical fitness standards for potential entrants and later employees have been lowered so as to enable more women to join. The physical needs of the jobs are no less than they ever were, so their male colleagues must pick up the slack, whilst earning no more in recognition. The title of my talk at the Budapest conference is, “Pandering to Women’s Demands is Destroying Western Civilisation”. The workplace is only one of many places where this is true.
