It is just the usual Horseshoe politics thing- lunatic fringe people trying to represent the rest of 'their team', when the truth is most people are pretty centrist.

The truth is probably somewhere in between. They do exist but it's probably a noisy minority of student union activist types.
A biological determination of gender based on science is by far the most rational and widely accepted measure both in the UK and abroad. Until such a time that medicine can provide more satisfactory solutions to the issue, caution is the best way forward. Promoting complex surgery and crude hormone treatment as a "cure" may well be viewed as a barbarity in 50 years time.
It might be a bigger deal than I think it is- all I am saying in 3 years at university it didn't come up.
And I did modules where it would come up- I did a module called 'feminism in hiphop'.
The was a discussion around the objectification of women in hip hop and a fairly robust discussion but I didn't see any radical left ideas as have been presented in this thread.
We talked a bit about female hip hop artists such as Missy Elliott, Salt N Pepa etc.
No one was 'no platformed', there was no safe space- it just didn't happen- and this was a left leaning university in Tower Hamlets (London Met).
My position on it is as you state in bold- I'm not saying it didn't/doesn't happen.

And statistically this sort of student gender/feminist/sjw activism is on the rise on campuses across the UK and the USA.
And no, the USA is not really culturally that different from the UK.
What about a gender neutral label, the actual topic of the thread.
A pretty flowery dress that just says "John Lewis" on the label rather than "John Lewis: Girls"

Offset "(Emp) - a little heavy on the hyperbole."
In any case, in the first one in that video it's unlikely that an average woman would've had the strength or weight to be able to yank that guy out of the way quickly enough to pull him away from the train; the actual likely result of a woman over two stone lighter (that's the average) than him trying to do so would have been both of them being killed.
Then there's the one where the guy pushes the van out of the way of the train and escapes himself; the average woman (and I'm just talking averages here) probably wouldn't have been able to do that, either.
Like I keep saying...men and women are different, biologically-speaking, and two of those differences are men having more muscle mass and being more likely to take risks. Insisting the contrary will never change those facts. Incidentally, those two things are also part of why men don't live as long as women.
