And They Used to Call It Great Britain

Council pays compo to lesbian banned from gay group for criticising dog in a dress suffering from gender dysphoria

This is a dachshund in a dress but, importantly, not the gender confused dachshund referred to in the story

A lesbian has been awarded compensation after being banned from an LGBTQIA+ forum for criticising a member’s gender fluid dog that was wearing a dress.

Welcome to 2024. God knows that 2025 will bring.

Hopefully an asteroid.

The lesbian was understandably excited to take part in a Cambridge County Council forum designed to give LGBTQIA+ staff a safe space to discuss the pressing issue of inclusivity.

Nothing is more important than inclusivity, after all.

And everything was very inclusive until one of the forum members decided to include his dog in the forum - a ‘gender-fluid’ dachshund that was wearing a dress. Aren’t they all these days?

But was the dachshund really a bitch? Or could he just not be bothered to lift his leg to pee?

The lesbian thought the gender confused dog in a frock was nonsense, and said so.

According to the Telegraph (yes this is a true story) she expressed …

“Gender critical views”

OMG! Did she think was the 1950s?!?!

Hold your poodles tight this evening ladies and gentlemen. It’s a dark world out there.

Members of the LGBTQIA+ group were, as I’m sure you can imagine, greatly upset by the lesbian’s non-inclusive remarks, although it’s not known how the comments affected the dog.

But the fact remains, if gender bending, dress-wearing dachshund’s aren’t safe, well then nobody is.

You should expect to see a Non-Binary Dachshund’s for Palestine group marching at the next London Mardi Gras. Gender fluid dachshund rights are human rights and all that. But I digress.

Forum members labelled the lesbian’s comments “transphobic” and complained to council management that they had suffered mental trauma as a result of the bigoted attitude toward the dashing hound.

They told council HR that the lesbian’s comments were “ill judged” and had a “detrimental impact” on their “mental health and well-being” to say nothing of the dog’s.

Furthermore, the lesbian had “a really aggressive tone”. You know the type.

Well, the Cambridge Council couldn’t have gender diverse dogs being excluded from their LBGTQIA+ human’s forum (probably for fear that it would adversely affect their rating with Stonewall) and so they asked the lesbian to leave and never return.

Which is not very inclusive.

But, of course, it’s never about inclusion. It’s about another government body elevating gender “theory” to the status of official religion, and then burning the heretics.

If you ask me they were all barking mad. See what I did there?

Anyway, with the straight-talking lesbian out of the way, the forum was able to continue, presumably with the hound able to hump participants legs without being asked for its sex.

But the lesbian was not taking any of this laying down, by which I mean being banned from the group, as opposed to being humped by the gender confused dog.

She took the Cambridge Council to a discrimination tribunal, complaining that she had been made to suffer for her genuinely held views on gender theory.

I liked this part of the Telegraph’s report …

Asked if she thought the LGBT+ group was an “appropriate place” to discuss her views, she said: “What was the group for, if it was not for that type of discussion?”

She has a point. I’m struggling to think where else you’d discuss the claims of a transgendered dachshund.

Council management were moved to admit they had not fired the lesbian for saying nasty things about the dog (and the it seems the dog had wanted to be called a bitch) but for her narrow minded views on gender.

The tribunal ruled in the lesbian’s favour and ordered the Council to pay her £55,000 (the equivalent of $107,000 Australian)

The lesbian told local media …

“Let’s hope that other employers will start to learn that it’s a bad idea to try to stop lesbians asserting their boundaries and silence staff who know that sex is real and sometimes matters.”

Sometimes sex does matter. Like when your colleague’s obviously male dachshund is wearing a dress. A stud that identifies as a bitch is still a stud. Even lesbians know this.

Anyway, the Cambridge Council released a statement promising …

“We will reflect carefully on this final outcome, as well as undertaking a review of our policies and procedures accordingly.”

I can’t wait for the Council to produce polices and procedures on how to properly address dogs in dresses. Fantastic stuff.

Can you believe they used to call it Great Britain.
