Looks like a fat bloke. I heard they prefer the pronoun "they" - not that I ever intend to use it, because I've got no reason to talk about the cunt.

 

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to get back to my job as head of the IOC.

I knew you had it in you

See now that's the thing, it only seems to be an issue when I, very rarely, engage with those railing against the trans community. In my every day life it's not an issue in the slightest, nobody is telling me I can't say this or that because I'm not being an obtuse cunt to everyone I meet.

 

I save that for here. 

I engaged with someone at work this week who I hadn’t with before, with a name that could be traditionally both male and female, and who looked to me on first appearance to be a fairly masculine looking woman, but could easily have been a feminine looking man. I am aware that the is at least one person in the company who identifies as non-binary, and it crossed my mind that it could be this person.

 

I made the decision when sending and email to another colleague later that day and had to refer to that conversation that I wouldn’t write he or she. I managed it quite easily. I’ve no idea if I needed to have, or should have, or would or wouldn’t have caused any bad feeling or insult or none of the above, but it was easy to just avoid using any pronouns by taking a very small amount of care.

 

didn’t change anyone life. It can be done.

I don't understand sex with a bloke, arseholes are nasty things.  

Its the same with women, I don't get the anal sex fascination. 

Leave it be.

It's genuinely baffling why people care so much, if he wants to identify as a Kiwi fruit so be it, I have far more important things to worry about and it has no bearing on my life.

 

Is it some weird repressed sexual curiosity thing like those aggressively anti-gay lobbyists who keep getting caught in bed with other men.

It’s because it’s not true.  What other belief system demands you believe it too? Even the Catholics don’t make you take part in their delusions about god and Mary.

I have a habit of using He when the person I'm talking about is completely unidentifiable in e-mails.

 

Not sure if that just makes me sexist.

I often think the chosen pronoun thing is a bit like pronouncing someone's name as they say it should be. You do it, even if you think they're wrong.

 

A friend of mine met a girl called Hermione, who pronounced it Herm-e-own.

Not being a woman, no.  Being a husband and a dad to a girl - yes.  
 

If a Catholic stood in front of you and said ‘at mass on Sunday they turn wine into blood’ you could say - ‘that’s nonsense’

 

If a Jew stood in front of you and said ‘Moses made a snake that cured people of  illness’ you could say ‘that’s nonsense’. 
 

If a man, convicted of rape, stood in front of you and said ‘I’m a woman’ - you’d be considered a bigot for saying ‘that’s nonsense’. Furthermore people would bend over backwards for him just because he’s lied.  It’s mental.

Don't tell me you've never put your dick between your legs and pretended you've got a fanny in the mirror. I do it at least twice a year when the opportunity arises.

And here I was, having spoken to you and Strontium this evening under the misapprehension that you were a modern day Elizabeth Eckford being set upon by screaming transgender folk every time you left the house and that stront's fear of bootlicking and face masks would make him a sub-par gimp.

 

How wrong I was.....well 1 out of 2 at least.

Only in the way the entire world is. I’m sure most of us will have done it in many situations.

 

I always say “he” by default when talking about another driver if I haven’t seen them to know it’s a woman already.

 

it’s the same as defaulting to saying “policeman” instead of police officer.

 

that’s the in built misogyny we all have from growing up and living in a male dominated world.

You see you know it’s ridiculous.  You just can’t admit it or you’ll lose face.   
 

I think that’s the very definition of ‘woke’.

If you wanted a serious response to your post I'd say that as a husband and a dad you should be more concerned about murderers/rapists who identify as men and murderers/rapists who identify as police officers.

 

But you seem to have far less energy for that fight.

Nah. 

 

There's a difference between how you define your own name and how you pressure someone to reject long established rules of the English language, under pain of censure. It's like me demanding that you have to refer to me while speaking in the style of Yoda. "Instead of Section 31 is a cunt", you'd have to say "a cunt, section_31 is", and if you didn't you got bollocked by people and were accused of killing me with your ignorance. 

 

It'd be different if there was some kind of medical/scientific consensus that non binary was a 'thing', like a new evolutionary step like the X Men.

 

But it's not, it's someone simply waking up one day and deciding that they have no gender - which is biologically and genetically impossible- and expecting you to change how you use the English language accordingly, or be called a bigot. Like that dickhead moaning about the station announcer who said "ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls", can't remember the details but I'm pretty sure Northern Rail or whoever it was actually apologised.

 

Most of it is pure attention seeking mentalism that's just been over indulged. You can tell because when you play along, often the shit gets more extreme. The hair gets dyed purple or the name gets changed to Bingo Funbags.

 

It's like some kind of infinite reduction, mass mental abuse which, by the end of it, just makes you want to throw your phone away and move to Guernsey.

“No you are”. Can’t think why no one has used it before.  
 

You pretend you don’t know Sam Smith is a fucking bloke despite him fucking being one.  Emperor’s new clothes and you are at the front saying ‘Suits you, Sir’.  Absolutely hilarious.

They are police, they don’t identify as police.  Like they are blokes.  It’s almost as if putting on a certain set of clothes doesn’t men that men become less predatory?  Can you see the fucking link yet? 
 

It seems to me that one group you’ve mentioned are vilified and there’s a whole lot of work trying to root them out, whilst the other one is being protected and given special treatment by MPs and useful idiots like you.  Well done.
