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.

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'?

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.

Just wait till he gets home. He has been a very naughty boy. His imam will not be pleased.
Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls. It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world. Except for Lola Lo Lo Lo Lo Lola 
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.

The Oxo family got axed as married couples were no longer the norm
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!?

Mr Khan should "STOP THE USE OF THE WORD MUSLIM" a persons religion is Irrelevant ,and the Word should only be Used in Mosques and Muslim Circles .

I'm sure the PC world take more offence than the actual people who they seem to over compensate for
I mean the Statement Regarding the calls Says it all , Obviously what ever it was on the Phone referred to Itself as Miss ??
So when i serve my other type of gender passengers

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.”

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.

I wonder what Khans views are on the Rights of young Girls who were Being raped by teams of Brethren ?
'brethren' - archaic plural of brother.
I find that to be 'out of date' and certainly not gender neutral.
Nawty step for you Case...

Was going to use a Sentence with the Word "Members" in it but thought better of it
Will our great mare actually tackle the biggest thingy in the pile - his own cultural base - the greatest base of established sexism/misogyny/homophobia/transphobia in the country?
just saying
just saying
Or maybe that might be NELSON if one was looking for the greatest percentage??
SO what are they replacing the ladies and gentlemen with?
I just googled this and it seems this was pledged by Khan in December last year? And the most recent article is from 5 days ago where a Green Party member reminds him of his promise. So why did Injera post it today? Just wondering...
Anyhow, these sort of issues make me sick. There are thousands more things to work on and people get p1ssed off with things like this? If i am a politician, what would I rather prefer? People criticizing me for abolishing announcements with ladies and gentlemen or people criticizng me for the way im doing my real job as the mayor? I'll take a debate on gender every single day of my mayorship if that keeps the people away from asking other questions. I hope he can magnify this issue and keep people guessing till the end of the term. Keep your subject busy in stupid stuff and you'll end up a great politician.

You disgust me Wandering person. In the LGBT community we have struggled to be treated fairly and equally. Transphobic and homophobic ignoramuses like you can set us back years with careless,and frankly, plain nasty comments like that.
ps our Mare is doing a good job although his Imam my not be so sanguine about these issues, or over his conduct.
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
Could be on to something here. I reckon a lot of younger people feel inadequate. They're brought up wrapped in cotton wool, told they're wonderful and are surrounded by the cult of celebrity like never before. Then they start to realise as they become adults that actually they're pretty ordinary, they won't be mega-rich nor famous and in a crowd they are anonymous. They counteract this by subconsciously deciding they are no longer a man or woman but are non-binary or cis or whatever's on Clouseau's list. They then start to feel special again as they're no longer ordinary. It's attention seeking that has crossed into insanity.

Remember when being gay was being happy............I think it's all sick/bad ?????? Apparently that's good
In the next Olympic Games athletes can compete under their chosen gender. This whole thing will be a financial trainwreck for women's sports.
Could help Usain Bolt prolong his career, and then of course he could move on to the para Olympics.

Already happening, they allow Caster Semenya to compete in the women's events.
If you feel you are inadequate as a man, for instance, to dress as a woman and be more attractive to guys who are into that - you become the center of attention etc etc. (self perception and all that. As stated above. So much of it is in your head as they say.

Yeah i remember when that first came to light. When asked her she felt when her sexuality was bought into question, her response was "Its a right kick in the b0ll0x"

Latest on this. It's official.
More evidence of paedos running the show? Nothing to stop the inevitable gender neutral toilets which is a paedo's dream. More than that the identity confusion being heaped upon our kids will leave them even more vulnerable to abuse.
Interesting how in Genesis it says 'he made them male and female'. Why bother saying that? God knew this day was coming..

the big mo had the line on this one he who impersonates a woman and vice versa - just not on - know what I mean - chop chop!!
The only problem for Mr Khan here is what does he do with the you know who community who won't play along with this new language game, in fact you'll be outright offending them by even suggesting that LGBTs might be human. Oh wait, do they get a fee pass on this one? Alrighty, crack on then Mr Mayor
