Perhaps by this time next year, it will be called 'International Gender Fluid Day,' - who knows.


Out of interest, is there an 'International Mens Day' too?

If My memory serves me correctly, you are also for gender neutrality, so I don't see how we can have a day celebrating someone's sex.

Thanks Pyxell, I have never heard of that and have never heard it mentioned on every single BBC news programme since 8am this morning either Maybe they will mention it on 19th November.

Yep that's favourite. Just go with the flow, or Flo, if she's available!

Interesting that it has been adopted internationally. This has roots in communism and is linked to the Russian Revolution.

Re: International women's Day v Non specific gender!

I Am Woman"


I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back and pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever going to keep me down again

Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained

If I have to I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I'll come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained

If I have to I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

I am woman, watch me grow
See me standing toe-to-toe
As I spread my loving arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Whoa, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained

If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman


And very happy to celebrate it after all the crap I've had to put up with from some Men in My 76 yrs on this Planet.

Re: International women's Day v Non specific gender!

Helen Reddy's version of that was great May!!!
What a blast from the past that was!

What i can't get my head around at the moment is all this back bending, "it's human -rights", "let them be whatever gender they feel like" laws that seem to be flying through without any challenges, are in stark contrast to ...

Simply women who have always just want to be equally treated... not the SAME, just equally treated, and are STILL battling for it!
