minor things that make you fume

The terms 'gender fluid' and 'non gender specific' and everything associated with them. Utterly ridiculous.
That business with the girl 'coming out' as non gender specific to Obama, and he managed something about admiring her bravery, whilst the rest of the audience clearly couldn't give the tiniest poo about it.

I dig the idea that girls don't have to play with pink Barbie dolls, and boys don't have to play with toy soldiers, but that's about all there is to it.

Saw this and it made me laugh:

It is attention seeking balls (not the word i want to use).

Why do people have to make a term up for it, i'm gender neutral, look at me. No you aren't, either you are a male or a female, simple as that. If you aren't all girly or all masculine no-one cares, so making a term up just to draw attention to yourself is full of crap in my opinion, and if you aren't sticking to stereotypes of your sex then NO-ONE CARES. Does not make you special, just makes you, you basically.

Either you feel like the opposite sex and become transgender, or you don't and stay the sex you are. Don't wear a skirt and suddenly be fluid or whatever they say.
 

Went in to a newsagents this morning. Only wanted a bottle of water to have on my way to a job. Two tills open, only one woman serving.
A queue of about ten people, so I walk to the back. Notice everyone is getting agitated and muttering then realise what the problem is. Some bird, dressed to the nines, slippers, pyjamas, chunky rollers, and dressing gown...the full works, is at the front of the queue with a wad of lottery tickets.
She knows she's won on some of them but insists the assistant checks them again. She then gets her winnings and says "yeah luv, I'll av a 2,3, 21, 32, 44, 75, an a 88 scratch card ta sweetheart" then proceeds to start scratching away at the cards at the till.
I shout "hey love, can't you do that at home, there's a long queue here you know" she ignores me but some woman a few places ahead of me says "oh come on lad, she's only doin the lottery lad, why the rush lad"?
I reply "some of us have to go to work love so we can afford to buy scratch cards...that why the rush"


I'm calm now.

I had a similar experience in Lidl last night. Waiting ages to be served (hate lidl by the way) and a til opened and some woman jumped onto it first with a few bits of shopping, her fella and kid in the pram.

10 minutes later i was still waiting to be served because she dropped the bloody milk, the girl at half 8 at night wasn't in a rush to find the mop and the woman was then on the phone talking about the bottle of gin she was buying and i quote 'he will get mortal tonight'.

Another thing that drives me to kill. Went to Range on Aintree yesterday so me mum could pick up some Christmas bits.
It's heaving, and there's people everywhere with trolleys. They walk down the aisles and stop right in front of you. Then turn the trolley so you can't get past. Then as they're walking along, they knock things off the shelf, look at them on the floor, then just keep walking at an inch an hour.
Classy.

I have no problem with anyone who is genuinely transexual. Met someone once (no, not in that way) and it is not an easy thing for them.

What I don't like (like you) is so much terminology like cis (which I think means you are not transexual)and that people feel they have to list everything like straight gay lesbian bisexual cis trans gender fluid differently abled. I refuse to get into that and just treat people as people
