Don’t you think that’s something within sport in general.
Maybe it’s because there actually aren’t very many gay/lesbian sportsmen rather than the worries they may have about coming out?

There are lots of openly gay professional female “sportsmen”.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

That's because the men don't feel threatened by the lesbians, they're just worried about the gay men.

Never understood it tbh but here we are.

If he was stood like that outside your kids junior school what would your thoughts be?

I worked round schools in the late 90s and we had a fellow working with us who had been 'done' for cross dressing - going out wearing women's clothes, make-up etc.. He was a top bloke and never brought that stuff to work. We never knew anything about it until a school governor recognised him and asked that he never come to their school again.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

I'd raise an eyebrow at it, but it's no worse than the oiks rocking up in dressing gowns etc to drop off or collect their kids.

So you are saying someone who dresses like that is automatically a threat to children?

Really?

Look, I'm not pretending that a lot of this kind of thing does require people to challenge their perceptions a lot more than some are comfortable with, because I've been there and realised that you have two choices, you either deal with change or you end up being completely lost and as angry about it as far too many posters on here appear to be

[KRBFC]

very suspect behaviour, it's incredibly dangerous to promote cross dressing and transsexual mindset onto young children, they don't need all that confusion at an early age. If an adult male wants to wear a thong, I find it incredibly weird but go ahead, I think the snowflake need to deem everything normal is harmful for future generations though.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Ooo now it's getting interesting.

Children tend to realise quite early on that they're in the wrong body, but you're saying they shouldn't be allowed to express their true feelings etc.

[Guppyspotter]

Is he not wearing a suit jacket and suit shorts topped off with a manbag?

Hardly cross dressing; not that it bothers me if he is,
for the photoshoot or otherwise.

Yeah that's exactly what he's wearing, a quick Google confirms that, but that doesn't stop some people getting upset by it.

I think children shouldn't be influenced into such drastic views. I have no issue with an adult making such decision.

Problem being if Cleetus sees another male and he isn't wearing dungarees then he is automatically strange

I knew you would be into this, your knickers are always in a twist

But you don't really believe that, you are just trolling

The other ones on here though.........

I've got a friend who's due to have her final operation to complete her transition, she's just in isolation at the moment to ensure she doesn't catch a cold, Covid or something else.

She started her journey in her early/mid teens and is now in her mid-20's.

Are you saying you wouldn't approve of her starting her journey as a teenager, even though she absolutely knew who she was meant to be?

Yes, there has been errors made by groups who've rushed people into starting the transition and yes more care needs to be taken, but there are people who just know from a young age that they're in the wrong body.

She is into her mid 20s, she is more than capable of making that decision for herself. I would be against anyone under the age of 18 having any kind of body altering surgery (boob job, gastric band, fat transfer, trans surgery) etc.

[Sleeping Cat]

Think DCL looks pretty cool in this pic.

Ah but she started the journey as a teen, under the age of 16 and that doesn't involve surgery.
You're clearly not aware of how the journey starts, it isn't with surgery, that's later on when they're an adult in the UK.

It starts with a change in lifestyle, cross dressing, name/pronouns etc.
To get to the surgery point in the UK, you have to prove that you've been living your life as a female, or a male because it's a 2 way street, for a minimum number of years.

[Steve1956]

I just showed this picture of DCL to gauge HER reaction,her reply was "Why is he dressed like a schoolgirl, that's perverse"
Is she wrong?
I don't know what to think,is it better I just leave it at that and move on with my life?

[Steve1956]

"Her" being the wife obviously

First of all, I don't think this is a children's magazine do id not aimed at them.

Secondly there is a subtle difference between educating or informing and promoting.

All that educating and informing the kids means is that they won't bat an eyelid when they see someone dressed differently, unlike some of the posters on this thread. You can't possibly argue that is a bad thing, can you?

Children can wear what they want.

What is wring is teaching children pink is for girls, blue is for boys. Barbies are for girls, action men are for boys and so on and so on. When I was in primary it was always “boys play football, girls play netball in PE”.

Most children are less stupid than adults because they haven’t years of being taught about absolute nonsense. Their minds are more free.

[Bosscat]

It is November and a North Wind blowing up the leg of his Skorts (portmanteau Skirt/Shorts) would definitely be cool

[claret2018]

Some people clearly never got over Burtons closing down.

[AlargeClaret]

Sort of thing I’d expect Lewis Hamilton to be wearing in one of his fashionista non binary outfits as he ever so slowly comes out

[NottsClaret]

This is definitely one of those things that doesn’t affect me or my family in any way at all so let the lad wear whatever he wants. As long as he likes it, that’s the main thing.

[bfcjg]

As long as he plays crap against Burnley he can wear what he likes.

[Juan Tanamera]

This group should be renamed The Righteous Brothers/Girls.

[Rileybobs]

It's the front cover of a fashion magazine you sensitive bunch of fanny wipes.

[Boss Hogg]

I’m all for having work uniforms or office wear in places of work. Who the hell cares what people wear in there own time though. Be it a dress or a snorkel and flippers. It’s not hurting anyone.

[Bosscat]

Fancy saying thats Fashion

Are the wipes in his handbag ?

[ŽižkovClaret]

A grown man dressing up as a school girl is not right.

That bloody Roger Taylor!

[elwaclaret]

I stopped taking any notice of fashion when Italian shell suits appeared. The man bag is something Europe has been trying export into the UK and US since the early 1990’s. The picture has achieved its aim by being talked about on here (though they’d prefer you to buy).

I can’t imagine C-L walking around Stanley Park on a regular basis dressed like that; which is probably the point they are making.

[RVclaret]

Imagine Dyche rocks up to the next home game in that.

[Sproggy]

He can wear what he wants, that's his right.
I can say what I want about what he's wearing. That's my right.

I think he looks like a right prat.

[AlargeClaret]

The most hilarious thing on this thread is people coming out with “ it doesn’t bother me he’s a right to wear whatever he wants “ . It’s a fashion shoot ffs engineered to get gazillions of hits and publicity . Wasn’t Tom Davies wearing some outrageous outfit a couple of yrs back and getting terrible stick ?

[Bosscat]

He wore what he want
He wore what he want
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
He looks a right ....

Probably the same posters who are giving DCL stick. Why's that so hilarious?

In a statement, *Dominic said "*Gylfi picked the clothes out for me, I just wore them"...

If every one transitioned it would be the end of human life. That tells you its wrong surely

[Somethingfishy]

I'm actually of the opinion that things like this are actually nothing new. We just see them a lot more because of how much of a connected world we are. With social media everybody has the ability to project their opinions, values and feelings onto the world stage for everyone else to see.
Back in the day this wouldn't have been possible but that doesn't mean people didn't have these views and fashion statements...but perhaps only their close friends and family ever found out and knew about it.
It's also fairly safe to say that people like DCL are likely to be quite extrovert and be much more likely to show off as it were and they now have the platform to be noticed.

Nothing to see here.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Is that what you are scared of?

Not everyone wants/needs to transition though.

Same with not everyone being part of the LGBT+ community.

me too good innit

[Andreshotboots]

That's because the men don't feel threatened by the lesbians, they're just worried about the gay men.

Never understood it tbh but here we are.

I do, there was a lesbian lass who worked behind the bar, and was prop forward for the ladies rugby team… if she said last orders, it was last orders!!!

[TheFamilyCat]

Is that what you are scared of?

It's being forced on everyone so he had every right to be.
