What a gathering of absolute fcukwits. Honestly, there are actual adults in that room that should know better and take control of such utter utter nonsense.0 -

Nobody owns pronouns, they belong to the language you are speaking.
No, what I'm driving at is employers have no business forcing people to publicise personal, gender- and/or sexuality-related stuff like that.0 -

I just can't keep up with this shít. It's like the world has become a parody of itself. Literally nothing is too fúcking stupid for some group of clowns to demand it be taken seriously this days.
Language just evolves, you can't force people to use certain words, if they don't gel naturally they just won't be used. New words are created all the time and fall into general usage while others just fade out - but it's next to impossible to control, it just happens organically.
Look at that rapper bloke in the UK who has spent tons of money trying to get people to use the word "dench" all so he can own the word and sell shít with dench written on it. I occasionally see a t shirt or the likes but i have never once heard anyone say it. In all honesty it's a stupid fúcking word!0 -

Not all names are easily identifiable as either female or male. Take Alex for example, could be anything. So adding a pronoun can help with identifying a gender of the person. Personally though I think it is a form of cheating to add a gender-specific pronoun anyway because you are supposed to be hired for your expertise and not anything else.
My pronoun is Dr. by the way

How did people figure this out before? And if a mistake is made, big deal. It’ll get corrected.0 -

Just to say some of us come to boards expecting a primarily textual experience. Embedded videos of this sort are difficult to handle without a warning and I'll be honest skirt the boundary of audio-visual assault. Luckily I had my safety blanket with me, but if you could please think before engaging in video aggression in future that would be great.
That video is like a parody skit. A few years ago I think I read an article joking about clapping being aggressive and yet here we are clapping is actually aggressive and assaulting to some people.0 -
The disabled toilets in work were re-labelled a few months ago. The main difference is that any disabled person who might want to use them has less of a chance (and I didn't bother using one of those nice alternatives to 'disabled' on purpose). My sister thought I made it up when I showed her a picture of the door, rather than just the sign.gormdubhgorm wrote: »I never understand the need for 'gender neutral' toilets. Surely you just pick the ladies jacks and go into the privacy of a cubicle simple.
Of course disabled toilets are 'gender neutral' and a lot of times in pubs they end up as store rooms....
And before anybody says anything about me being offended, I'm not. I'm just fed-up, and weary of listening to all this sort of talk. (Can excessive eye-rolling affect your sight?) 0 -

Hadn't seen that video in a while so watched it again just now. It's the gift that keeps on giving!
"Aggressive scent" - amazing.
Anxiety, sensory overload - lots of people have these and always did. It's referred to as easily agitated, jarred. It can indeed be difficult for some, but most people recognise it's not something that makes the world only about them and they harden the **** up and tackle it themselves by sucking up day to day life instead of demanding special treatment.0 -

Yeah, I can’t listen to chalk on a blackboard. It’s painful to my ears. But even as a child, I was very aware that this was nobody else’s problem and that I just had to deal with it. And I did, usually by subtly covering my ears.
As well as that, I just don’t get the rush of some to paint themselves as victims. From my experience, most people will do anything to appear the opposite, to seem resilient in public as a point of pride.
My sister has increasingly become part of the “I find that offensive” brigade and it’s exhausting. We were in a waiting room of a Dublin hospital a few months ago and on the noticeboard was a poster of the All-Ireland winning Dublin team. She said “This hospital might be in Dublin but there’s patients coming here from all over the country. That poster shouldn’t be up, it’s offensive”. Once I got my eyeballs back in to position after they rolled back in my head, I said “So?”. Like, so what if somebody finds something so inoffensive offensive? That doesn’t mean they have to be indulged. It’s all just so goddamn joyless.0 -

I wouldn't find a picture of the Dublin team in a Dublin hospital offensive. I'll join you in giving your sister :rolleyes: It's not like they wanted to put a picture of the Dublin team in Castlebar hospital :pac: 0 -

Did they have a picture of the Dublin Ladies All-Ireland winning team up too? 0 -
Speaking of pictures, this week Vogue magazine - founded in 1892 and said to be the largest woman's magazine in the world - had this image of Gwendolyn Ann Smith
https://www.vogue.com/article/gwendolyn-ann-smith-interview-transgender-day-of-remembrance
It is well known that the bat has been taken up as a symbol of threats of brutality and violence to women who object to gender theory trans ideology. It has been used in art exhibitions and is regularly all over social media to back up terrible threats. Degenderettes, for example,
The pciture of Gwendolyn accompanies a story about trans women being killed. It is not mentioned that most are killed by violent exes or by clients, not by random ''haters'' which is what we are supposed to think. Sex work is notoriously dangerous. Nor is it mentioned that the rate of trans women murdered is the same or lower than the rate of biological women murdered, speaking statistically.
Interestingly, and tangentially, the list of trans serial killers has been removed this year from Wikipedia even though the paraphilia of cross dressing is the most common one among all serial killers.0 -

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/nov/23/blind-date-jen-anna-glasses-fog-up
The Guardian does blind dates. The people who go are interviewed for an article afterwards. On the latest blind date the Guardian set up a lesbian, Anna, with a transwoman called Jen. Anna was not told the blind date was trans. Later Anna decided she was not interested in more dates, she was very polite about it, she was called transphobic online.
This at the very least is rude, perhaps even malicious. Lesbians are attracted to females. That is the essential factor of same sex attraction. Same sex-ness. They put that young woman in an unpleasant position publicly.
A) it’s the Guardian - so woke even the most awake feel themselves going to ****ing sleep
The feelings of Trans in this scenario are irrelevant - it’s the equivalent of a honey trap in which even if you are the victim you are wrong because transphobia 0 -
