The Mayor of London has pledged to stop the use of the term ‘ladies and gentlemen’ on the capital’s public transport because the idea that people are either male or female is offensive.
Sadiq Khan says that he has banned staff from using any gendered language when addressing the public after a transsexual was told “[you] didn’t sound like a ‘miss’” by a telephone operator at Transport for London.
Many Government-funded bodies continue to push transsexual ideology in the public space. Recently Vishnitz Girls School in Hackney, a Jewish school for girls aged 3-8, was sanctioned by Ofsted for refusing to teach about gender reassignment and sexual orientation. This is despite inspectors admitting that the pupils are making good progress and that teachers are performing well.
Unfortunately Ofsted remains largely unaccountable. Last year not a single school succeeded in challenging the overall result of an inspection, creating pressure to teach gender ideology (which is harmful to children) because teachers in England are fearful of being reprimanded by Ofsted.

what about ladies and gents loos?
or is this a cost cutting exercise |

By:
Yes Donny lets open as many toilets as needed to cover all bases.
Right now we have Male, Female and Disabled. How many more are needed? And how much money will it cost to indulge these variations? One final question, how have we survived so long without all this 'diversity from the norm'? |

Money doesn't come into it, the country is awash with money for stuff like this. |

Let's have done to all this pc nonsense and keep it down to a manageable and sensible list of options who have all got their own toilets... like this:
Agender Androgyne Androgynous Bigender Cis Cisgender Cis Female Cis Male Cis Man Cis Woman Cisgender Female Cisgender Male Cisgender Man Cisgender Woman Female to Male FTM Gender Fluid Gender Nonconforming Gender Questioning Gender Variant Gender**** Intersex Male to Female MTF Neither Neutrois Non-binary Other Pangender Trans Trans* Trans Female Trans* Female Trans Male Trans* Male Trans Man Trans* Man Trans Person Trans* Person Trans Woman Trans* Woman Transfeminine Transgender Transgender Female Transgender Male Transgender Man Transgender Person Transgender Woman Transmasculine Transsexual Transsexual Female Transsexual Male Transsexual Man Transsexual Person Transsexual Woman Two-Spirit |

when i went to school the kids had to learn their lessons? FK all else. we had ten minute breaks to play games before we faced the dragon teachers again.
now i'm supposed to believe kids are meta-morphing into strange creatures. it has to be increased estrogen in the food and water or something malicious is happening. |

The latest obsession with gender ID is most disturbing.
Affirming people in their confusion is not the way forward. A person who thinks they're fat and becomes anorexic should'nt be encouraged in their false belief that they ned to lose weight. Someone who feels trapped in a 'wrong body' should not be encouraged to seek gender change. I doubt if any of us have not at some stage felt uncomfortable in our own bodies. The path ahead is to love ourselves as we are. |

this is bollox, i like hollywood musicals and the colour pink. (as does the palermo mafia)
to question your sexual orientation when your six is bollox. there's a thing called puberty, which is being mucked about a bit by estrogen levels in tap water and other sources like bread. We need to clean up our food sources. we need to leave this till kids hit puberty. This is like some sort of observational experiment by physicists like the cat in the box experiment. if you are pregnant and take in a lot of estrogen it has to affect the baby. |

But it is a great card to play. Like several of the other one's that are played. Like 'OAP's matter' - a notorious organisation.
Or 'I AM HAVING A BAD WEEK THEREFORE I PLAY THE ....... CARD FOR AN EXCUSE' the 'headache' card even!!! I lean on the LGBT card - like the RAY CYST card. Very useful 'YOU CAN'T TOUCH ME' You are being homophobic/racist accusation - works every time and puts them on the back foot ho ho!!! |

Ahhhh moisok..........the voice of reason and understanding

What you have to understand is if you feel you are inadequate in any way you can latch on to a whole number of excuses and back them up with empirical evidence and play the card you feel helps to explain and best of all, provide a great excuse - a splendid defensive manoeuvre which some actually use aggressively.
Up till now the LGB was king/queen but now the T is burgeoning. Forget religion - this is the new one!!! What do want to know about the community for starters!? |

ps and I missed out the real biggie up till now - the race card of course - apologies to those who may take a fence.

Ms Berry welcomed the Mayor’s response, telling The Independent: “No one should feel shut out of society.”
She said the removal of “ladies and gentlemen” would be well-received by anyone who found the announcements out of date. “There are many people out there with some degree of gender variance and, with our huge population, a large number of Londoners will be trans and non binary,” she told The Independent. “Gender neutral announcements will make a difference not just to trans people but to everyone who thinks being greeted as ‘ladies and gentleman’ is out of date.” http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/gender-neutral-announcement-sadiq-khan-tfl-london-ladies-and-gentlemen-announcements-a7463271.html n July, guidance issued by the Boarding Schools Association called on teachers to learn a “new language” and to address transgender pupils as “zie” to avoid offence. WTF??? |

You have to wonder what we are teaching future generations by making such a big issue like this. A slip of the tongue/ mistake when speaking to one customer results in 30'000 members of staff being issued with a new policy on never mentioning any word gender related. No wonder so many people suffer from anxiety these days. People will start having panic attacks in pubs if someone asks them where the toilets are as they won't know which one to direct them to in case they offend them. |
