The HuPeople Are Coming

Malayalam

Trudeau interrupted her and said: 'We like to say peoplekind, not necessarily mankind 'cause it's more inclusive.'

Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, interrupted a lady who said

the future of mankind

to helpfully point out that peoplekind would be a better choice of words.

Is Justin going to be the non-binary huperson who rids us at last of that dastardly word ''Human'' ?

Hector Savage

No wonder Jordan Peterson got so angry about all this bloody nonsense.

This stuff only matters if you let it.

Ignore it and it won't gain any traction, make a big thing of it and then you're making it a big thing.

How do you feel about that OP?

Christ what a wuzz.

Jurgen Klopp

He's a bloody eejit of the highest order

What's more tho is I'd wager be comes out with this sort of guff thinking its going to make him look good. He's worse than Varadkar for being more concerned with his public image than doing his actual job

They'll be banning the use of 'Homo' sapien next because it's not PC ffs.

Does that mean that we’ll have to call bin men bin people? I somehow doubt it. Equality when it suits yo!

Omackeral

It's fringe stuff, same people that bemoan the use of the word blackboard or say the song should be Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep. Although "cheap lousy f*ggot" got canned didn't it?

He's the leader of a huge country publicly 'correcting' someone's use of language. At what point does it become a big thing?

Yeah, I'm taking bets on the legislation timeline. A year or so ago I might have guessed that in 5 to 10 years laws will be passed prohibiting the use of 'patriarchal expressions'...but as of lately, I'm guessing it will be more like 1 to 2 years.. tops.

If everyone goes on as before and lets him be the only member of peoplekind to whom this matters, then it won't matter to humankind.

I suspect this may be the event horizon for the speech police, and I hope so.

Hate speech is one thing, but this nonsense isn't anything anyone should dignify by catering to it.

Normally I would agree, but I have been learning that things are not that normal. About 7 or 8 years ago a friend of mine and I were having a walk; she is a policy maker, I will just leave it at that. We were discussing transgender people and their plight, and I was feeling sympathetic. Then she said that the next thing ''on the agenda'' is pre-puberty hormones (blockers) for children identifying as trans. I laughed. Out loud. I said, come on now, they are only kids, it's a bit early pre-puberty to be interfering with them, isn't it? She shrugged and was silent. Fast forward far fewer years than I had imagined in my wildest dreams and I find that puberty blocking hormones are being prescribed ever more for pre-pubescent children in many countries, the numbers being refered to clinics in the UK have increased by 2000% in less than 10 years, and some serious professionals are beginning to speak of childhood gender dysphoria as being a form of social contagion with consequences that will one day be seen as drastic.
I do think there is every possibility that our language, art, culture, sexual politics, family life etc etc will be policed very heavily into the future. The example of Trudeau is just a casual marker.
I will be glad if I prove to be wrong.

"Peoplekind"?

What an asshole.

cantdecide

This ship is sinking, peeps. Time to err human the pumps??? But can I really presume that everyone errr operating the pumps self-identifies as human? Can I start a sentence with the word "but"? Being a human is confusing. I'm going to Nepal where I shall live as a goat.

The only good thing about Tru-dope is that his mutterings are so cringey, they can't be ignored.

Interesting, Trudeau wished his daughter a happy birthday on Twitter and called her his little girl.

So a few wise asses tweeted replies that in the interests of fairness he should refer to her as little person. ��

It's about feeling good about achieving something and being part of a movement, the fact that it's completely and utterly pointless and doesn't have any positive impact is irrelevant.
Legends in their own mind.

Your ignorance on this subject is not surprising.. But maybe look into why kids are offered these reversible blockers before puberty sets in rather than spreading your ignorance around like the disease it is.

Now, go wash your hands..

not really , he and his cohort are in power and get to set the standard.

If this sh8te isn't tackled it become priority and is ranked above real issues and real crime. Like we see in Britian, police in a rush to tackle people ranting on twitter when other serious crime is left untackled.

I keep somewhat abreast of the news and have done since I was a child. I don't recall the Canadian prime minister getting this amount of air time before...why so? His liberal ways and passion for social engineering resonates with the the liberal media around the globe. They present him as almost a messiah and such positive PR works and influences people. That's why this needs to be stopped.

Trudeau is a gob****e. If the alt-right were right about one thing, it's Trudeau.

I know why they are offered. To temporarily halt the development of characteristics of birth gender. Some studies are showing reduced bone density, increased diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease risk, and compromised fertility. Some professionals who are experts in the field are warning against the use, and advising counselling instead until the child is older. I am not alone in my supposed ignorance.

I blame the brits.

wexie

Humankind isn't inclusive enough?

Not inclusive enough for who? Are there aliens I don't know about? When did women and all other new genders stop being human?
Or is it that human contains the word 'man'? And if that's the case then what in the name of John, Paul, George and Ringo are we going to refer to females as?

Wopeople?

Uhhuh.. The key word you used twice is "some" i.e. a minority of biased and bigoted.

The facts: the psychological damage of putting a kid through the wrong puberty far outweighs any of those supposed health "concerns" that "some studies" have "shown"

This thread is not about attacking trans children - as much as you want to make it about that.

So.. yeah.. I won't waste oxygen on you another moment...

Bye..
