The Spectator reports:
The Sandie Peggie case against NHS Fife is only getting stranger.
...
The equalities and human rights lead at NHS Fife, Isla Bumba told the tribunal that while she was able to ‘hazard a guess I would be female’, she insisted ‘no one knows’ their chromosomes or hormonal composition unless they had undergone medical testing.
Hazard a guess?
No wonder everyone has mental health issues these days if they have to hazard a guess at their gender.
That's enough to keep anyone awake at night.
Which is why a new TV show is needed.
Let's call it DNA Me! - a show that will invite various celebrities and joe public to be tested and their test results revealed on-air.
Hughie Green would have made a great compere for the show ... and I mean that most sincerely folks!
Or maybe Michael Miles who compered the rival show to Green's Double Your Money and aptly named: Take Your Pick.
It all gives the phrase, 'Open the box', shouted out by studio audiences on Take Your Pick, that much more meaning if applied to DNA Me!
Oh what larks Pip!
Imagine the result as bombshell botoxed women are told they are actually men and chisel-jawed alpha males told they are women.
Expect much weeping and gnashing of teeth or at least fake veneers. Trouble is, there probably wouldn't be many 'big surprises' even if a box were opened, so such a show might struggle.
Alternatively just do a test after new borns are spanked (is that still allowed?) so parents can leave hospital with the relevant certificate in hand to avoid identity confusion later.
Surely that would be easy to do?
