So Confused ..???

Right... excluding the 30 odd genders ...

How the F88K is one person ...."they" ........ rubschin:

are they teaching new English that covers these PC freaks ... rubschin:

Taken from article about a famous knob-jockey ...who now wants a bit of muff....

'Sam is such a great advocate for our community and has been incredible at raising awareness, visibility and acceptance for our community.'

The 27-year-old, who is known for their hits Stay With Me and Dancing with a Stranger, will perform at the Mardi Gras festival alongside Kesha and Dua Lipa.

Sam came out as non-binary last year. They had previously identified as a man, but now identifies neither exclusively as a man nor a woman."

They have asked fans and loved ones to use the pronouns 'they/them', not 'he/him'.

'Non-binary / genderqueer is that you do not identify in a gender,' Sam told actress and activist Jameela Jamil in March.

'You are a mixture of all different things. You are your own special creation. That's how I take it - I am not male or female. I think I float somewhere in between - it's all on the spectrum.'


But genderqueer is OK ........ noooo:


Tempted to comment how he takes it ... noooo:

"How the F88K is one person ...."they" ......"

Been standard English for years - not for transwotisits but where you're referring to someone that you don't know about their underbits.

EG "Someone called Lesley has written to me but I don't know if they are a bloke or woman"

It is completely bizarre...  noooo:

And it just seemed to appear all of a sudden... Now it is a huge force...

I think (hope) it will burn itself out tho, the trans lobby conflicts with so many other groups...

if you think 30 odd makes no sense here's a list of the 51 genders Arsebook recognises...

https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2014/02/heres-a-list-of-58-gender-options-for-facebook-users

Most of them just look like they are going to be copy and paste versions of one another to pad out the numbers and look more right on.

Pangender? You identify as a cooking utensil?
Two-Spirit? Drunk or possessed?

lol: lol: lol:

It's not just stupid it's unnecessary.  The law only requires businesses etc to make 'reasonable adjustments' and forcing their employees, customers etc to recognise that many is unreasonable.  There are a very few very unlucky people whose anatomy does not match their chromosomes, for them yes we should make some space where possible but these idiots that have a gender du jour are just taking the mick and being overindulged

The Ozzies have it right.  Male Female and Undecided

But referring to individuals as 'they' is a different matter
