You have a real knack for humorous yet on-point columns. Too bad print media is dying, columns such as yours was a big part of what made the Sunday paper worth its price back in the day.

Since I know of real trans-cases (via the wife's former career) sometimes the genes and chromosomes and midichlorians and telemeres and whatnot get a little mixed up. But that is exceedingly rare, and neither inbreeding (like marrying your cousins for umpteen generations as some cultures do) nor environmental toxins nor radiation seems to affect the ratio; one poor woman my wife interviewed had been born with non-functioning testicles and a prostate located in her abdominal cavity.

She needed both hormonal supplement therapy and surgery to remove the offending bits, since their presence increased the risk of cancer by more than 50 times the average (if I remember it correctly, no guarantees).

But she was very much a she, didn't even grow the moustache typical of southern women after the first child.

Which is neither her nor there re: all things trans today, since it was a case of biology, aka White Supremacism. Isn't it funny (in the "funny in the head"-sense) how wokesters and Ye Ole Combat 18-goons seem to share a lot of political opinions?

By the by, Starmer's first name, Keir, has unclear origins:

One theory claims it as a celtic-irish word meaning "dark/black skinned". Which he obvious isn't, but maybe he identifies as it?

Other theory instead claims it is derived from an Old Norse word. Kjarr or kjaerr, modern spelling "kärr".

Which means bog, mire, fen, and swamp. Kind of fitting, no? Especially since the name Starmer is a hereditary nickname for someone who resembles a star, so:

Man-who-is-like-a-star-in-a-swamp.

Will his career resemble a Red Dwarf or a Black Hole?

Ah, but he did something even more frightening than admitting to believing the lies. He implied that the truth shouldn’t be spoken, and that to do so is immoral. Reality must be cancelled because the savvy bullies who thumb their nose at you behind teacher’s back have decided you mustn’t do that.

I think the best result would be if the seats in Parliament accurately reflected the votes cast by the electorate. And yes, it would probably be hung, but fairly.
