It was on this day in 2016 that Iain Duncan Smith resigned from David Cameron's cabinet in response to George Osbourne's proposed disability benefit cuts.

These cuts were less severe than are being proposed now.

Just something to think about.

Repost this thread to make a transphobe cry
In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.
