    Not cowardliness - just basic manners. A transgender person who was born female, but identifies as male, will probably be a bit pissed off if you (or, in this case, someone trying to sell them a product) refer to them as a 'woman'. Nobody really minds being called a 'person' though.

    Basic you say. We've come a long way since please and thank you so!

    Will they need to change OPKs and pregnancy tests too so they can also be for "people who ovulate" and "people who have babies"?

    Nah they're generally for people who think they might be pregnant

    Every time you think the spinelessness can't be topped... bam!

    Bad enough when Latino/a was changed by some to Latinx.

    So openminded that brains are falling out.

    These pr1cks are so woke they'll sleep themselves into extinction.

    The more they metaphorically push each over the edge the better it is for society, shower of vvankers...

    I wonder what will be the last woke quote...

    I was never into that woke sh17 in the first place, more than likely

    Saw a cafe in town called "the woke cup".

    Just too on the nose. Then again, considering their target audience...

    On a completely separate note I'd like to announce the opening of Dublin's newest bespoke artisanal food ingestion area for the socially oblivious, "Agitating Fook"

    Meet like-minded no-mind's and learn new ways to be as disconnected from reality as possible while unemployed and sipping a 6 euro coffee for 4 hours. Be there, or be racist :)

    Lot of anger over something as inoffensive as an inclusive “term” in here tonight.

    The tide is turning…

    Does anybody remember a time when Internet access wasn't as widespread? They were good times, most assholes didn't have access or thought it was for the nerds so mostly avoided it.

    Now everyone has access so assholes are out in their droves talking ****e.

    It's not anger, it's most dismay I suppose. Like, grand, invent a word, but at least make it pronounceable. Won't be using it anyway, so I suppose it's a moot point. Also, why always jump to anger? Can people not just say something without it being taken as being angry? I'm certainly not angry over it.

    I think it's more than understandable for irritation to arise when something has long outlived it's welcome.

    Like listening to a crackpot fumble his way through some insane conspiracy theory, yes, it might actually be amusing at first. But if they repeat it over and over, getting crazier with each rendition, there comes that point where your amusement turns, and you tell them to shut the fook up and cop on to life.

    No, you are not an elk. No, full stops are not offensive. No, your make-believe word has no credibility. No, not according to science. No, not according to reality.

    Etc!

    The dismay this is causing women is not seen as valid by some unfortunately. "We have decided it's appropriate not to use the actual term for the female sex and their biology because a tiny few people might get offended even though we weren't asked to do this. But **** the offence that the... people in question might feel."

    Oh, didn't even cop who posted it. Tedx. Or Txdx now? Never watched much of their stuff anyway, found most of it boring, some interesting stuff on it. But if that's the way they're heading, off with them. But yeah, it's crazy to start using that but at the same time turn a deaf ear to the women who want to be called women. Did Txdx also change from Men to Mxn?

    Also just discovered the x at the end of Ted signifies a local event rather than a Ted organised event (which are usually global issues). Did the main Ted start this too?
