I thought this was nonsense and it would never catch on with real people until I got a text from my son's school this morning saying they will be selling gingerbread people at tomorrow's Christmas concert!

Just for that, I'm not buying any!

Are you offended by the use of "gingerbread people"?

That just means some will be gingerbread men and others will be gingerbread women. Seriously, where do people think gingerbread men come from? You can't have gingerbread men without gingerbread sexual reproduction. It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, ffs!

Dunno. Refusing to buy a baked treat because you disagree with the name sounds awfully snowflakey to me...

It's cute when one sides language works so well the other side try to adopt it.

Look at you using the hip terms! :cool:

If I am snowflakey by being fed up of snowflayness, then you're snowflakey for finding such snowflakeyness snowflakey!! :rolleyes:

Heard of this a few days ago on the radio. There were lots of descriptions of the attacker in an attempt to identify movements. Short hair, beard, height, wearing a short sleeve t-shirt.

Forgetting something???

Reminds me of when a kid went missing in Blanchardstown a couple of years ago. . Tons of descriptions, height, age, clothes, runners. They were afraid to mention that he was black. He was found, but it would have been a tad bit helpful.

For a country that isn't very "diverse". It would really help narrow it down :rolleyes:

Oh no, IDGAF whether you buy some gender-neutral, gluten-free, cinnamon flavoured, unvaccinated vegan baked human-shaped treats at all. Call them "Christmas refugees" if you like, I don't care.

I just find it amusing when people act like the exact mirror of the thing they're annoyed about and don't even realise it.

They're not gender neutral - they have always been gingerbread MEN - you seem to have trouble following the point of the thread!

You have a basic confusion as to the difference between the word "offended" and being irritated which are in no way "the exact mirror of the same thing"

Yeah but cant say cup cake now, you could in the 50s.

Every word they want changed should be changed to c!_!nt, it would soon stop

Both are examples of trying needlessly worked up over something incredibly trivial.

Except it morphs into areas that are in no way trivial! In fact, it's the opposite. It puts serious issues into trivial buckets!

As per the female Scottish parliament member referenced in the actual story that this thread is about who said, doing daft things like renaming Gingerbread men to Gingerbread person "trivialises the real issues of gender equality".

Case in point above - The news won't even say now that someone being sought for a sexual assault or another being sought for a child abduction is a black man! Everyone offended on other people's behalf! That is not trivial!

I have an update on some PC nonsense. Tumblr, where I go to look at lovely pictures for art inspiration, is in certain other places an absolute warren of gender dysmorphic over-sharing and communal encouragement towards transitioning etc. among young people. There is also a good deal of pornified imagery and gifs, some of it very heavy and then there are also regular and arty nudes of which some are very pretty and tasteful.

Anyways Tumblr has been struggling to drain the swamp, so a few days ago it came up with the idea of banning all nudity.

Then a few days later, today, after what must have been a very emotional time caused by its gender-dysmorphic fanbase, Tumblr have decided that ''medical'' nudity will probably be okay.

That will NOT include female nipples in general, unless they are actively involved in breast-feeding or medical examination, nor the healthy genitalia of biological men or women, but the new terms and conditions will permit images (and presumably gifs and videos) of the results of gender confirmation surgery, including nipples, pre- and post-operative I suppose because otherwise how can one make a display of such things, and I presume the results of a phalloplasty. The whole phalloplasty display has been quite a significant niche on Tumblr.

So, gender- curious/ confused children and teens will now be able to see only images of transgender nudes on Tumblr, while I will not be able to see the lovely - eh, natural, biological, genetic? - nudes a friend of mine has been posting for years. Because that would be wrong, right? Fexake :rolleyes:

Is your issue that your friends nudes have been banned or that Tumblr allow pictures of transgender people?

Mate you are obsessed lmfao. You're doing an ethnographic study of non-binary gender queers and their feelings and emotions. Dont you think its time to take a step back and analyze your actions?

I thought I was clear. Why would one disallow the former and permit the latter? It's idiocy. Transgender people can post all the pictures they want in their Tumblr space, I don't give a buck, but if trans people can have nudes then people who are living as their biological sex should have nudes too.

Because Tumblr consider one porn and the other not.
