Ha you mentioned outrage Gotcha!! 🤣🤣

The red flags are in your posts. I am in neither 'stage', I am asking the question about its existence and am yet to make a conclusion. I would also add here that your take is a huge oversimplification of my question and current position (another red flag). I can't be arsed to restate it as my...

Fear of alternate opinions has long been a stick to beat the woke left with. An accusation that can also be made to the anti- woke brigade.

Your reply indicated you did, but maybe I misunderstood. Sounds like we are agreed that no-one is outraged or offended about this old ad. By extension accusations of wokery etc are wide of the mark. Just an old ad that some found funny and some didn't. Still the case by the looks and we are...

Interesting, I'll be honest though, this post has a number of red flags that indicate we may be venturing into conspiracy theory territory. Who are the 'they' that you refer to? You've also only really mentioned one side of the war, who is on the opposite side the the social justice/cultural...

Interesting article. I don't know the artist but they tell their story well. Thanks

Working with people who experience gender dysphoria.

Language is a social construct? there is no "natural way to speak" Thats why we have different languages and dialects. Language is also continuously evolving. It might sound a bit weird at first but you soon get used to it.

I work in quite a sensitive gender environment too. I am asked by a few clients to use they/them pronouns. I really don't see the issue with it. I ask people to call me a shortened version of my name and people are pretty happy to do it. Not much to ask is it?

I expect they did, saying Boy George everytime they referenced him would get annoying quite quickly.

Is referring to someone as they instead of he or she really that big an ask for you?

Loves the 80s though, before any of that gender-bending nonsense.

I am happy here and, I love that weirdness is embraced (well mostly). The world is a much more interesting place when people can express themselves more freely. There is more to come from the human race and it is going to be magnificent. There will always be the Mary Whitehouses of the world...

Quite. Not sure who would think that fat-shaming people would have any positive effect. Other 'woke' studies are available but they all show the same thing. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/fat-shaming-makes-things-worse#other-harmful-effects

Triggered snowflakes :lolol:

Or they could just do some googling, its really not that hard for them to find out what its all about.

I know a number of people who asked to be addressed as 'they'. It takes some getting used to and I make mistakes sometimes but it really isn't any skin off my nose. I just don't get why some people find it so difficult to respect others' choices and/or feeling.

I wonder how he identifies?

I am questioning how much effect the 'woke' have on anything. Currently my experience show loads of people complaining about woke people complaining but no actual woke complainers. It all seems utterly ridiculous at the moment. The woke seem relatively quiet, wheras the the anti woke are all...

I guess our definitions of outraged and offended are different. (Which may explain why I struggle to see the woke stuff people are always raging against). I won't ask you to highlight the posts but I am genuinely interested to know which you are referring to.
