Title: More woke madness.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 14 May 2021, 13:57:16
Why do London North East trains feel the need to apologise?.... :(

Yet again we have an example of the 99% majority required to appease the 1% minority of woke idiots. :-X

Non binary means you're neither male nor female, so you don't actually exist  :)

I thought it meant you were Arthur on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday..... and Martha on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday......or is that 'gender fluid'? :)

There are over 100 genders in total so I can't be expected to know them all. :)

It always makes me laugh to see an individual referred to as 'they'.  It's just so oppsin absurd!  ;D

But you need to agree to they/them......or else. :D

This is a funny take on 'The Twilight Zone' from the fifties.

The opposite of Binary is apparently single.

So either they are apologising to all the single people, or they are trying to imply that we are all unique. Which we are.

Anyhoo, all these labels and boxes are, by definition, discriminatory  :-X

However these people identify they should understand that 99% of normal people do not identify in the same way. Therefore, as a tiny minority, they need to fit in rather than try to dictate how the majority think, and the language we use.

The train operator should have said 99.9% of our customers are happy with the use of ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, so we see no reason to change this message.......but instead they apologise profusely. Shame on them. :-\

Christ. Must be nice to live in a world where that's the most important thing to think about.

As long as its legal and between consenting adults, who gives a shit who puts what into who... But this is just ridiculous attention seeking nonsense.

So here's a vid from Twitter.  ::) 

What I think it's about is that this young lad has identified as a female, has decided she is a lesbian and is pissed off that other lesbians don't want to have sex with him/her/them because he/she/they have a penis, and says that the lesbians have 'penis trauma'!  ::)  ;D

I read about a potato the other day who, when asked whether it was a king eddy or a jersey royal, said it identified as both. A non binary potato, who'd have thunk it?  :-\

Do keep up. It would only be a hybrid or mixed potato race if it actually was, not simply by self identifying as such. You're not very woke, like wot I am.

To identify as a Jersey Royal when it's just a king Edward  :o it deserves to be skinned alive, sliced and fried in oil  :P
Jersey royals have Protected Designation of Origin status ,like Cornish pasties

was it fat with red blotches  :-\ = king Edward
small, thin skinned (so easily offended  :D ) possibly a Jersey Royal  ,though there are imposters about
