When my younger sister was studying Medicine in the 1960s one of her tutors was Eamon de Valera  (son of the then President of Ireland).
 
Incidentally, the younger  Dev had been Consultant Gynaecologist at the National Maternity Hospital in Dublin’s Holles Street when I was born there in 1941.
 
He explained to my sister and othe students that gender was not always “cut and
dried” if you’ll pardon the expression.
 
It seems to me that if I elected to be Cut I might redefine myself as a woman and
have my re-definition supported by leading politicians and some medical practitioners, and that anyone disputing that claim might be prosecuted for hate-crime.
 
Scotland’s Chief Minister on his inauguration stressed his support for this ludicrous
notion.
 
In a long speech he used not a single word of Gaelic, which has survived without
interruption in Scotland for nearly 2,000 years, many centuries before the English
language, or, indeed, England, existed. 
 
J.D.Rowling has been blackguarded for talking sense.
 
As  I understand it, real women menstruate, give birth, experience the menopause,
and all the surgery known to science cannot replicate such phenomena.
 
Eamon de Valera Senior, a great political helmsman and guide, was a lifelong
scientist and knew what he was doing when he submitted the draft Constitution
to the electorate who enacted it.
 
The electorate recently overwhelmingly rejected the two amendments offered them
by cranky saboteurs.
 
Dev’s scientific expertise was recognised by British experts when they made him
a Fellow of the Royal Society exstablishd in 166O.
