Good start to the weekend, this.

I am not a great fan of the extent that sexist terms have gotten to , especially the person who was identified on their birth certificate as female but felt that that was not correct although didn't see their self as a male either so wanted to be known as IT.
Today I realised another term that has changed as now it is no longer correct to use the word - mankind - it is now humankind ! Surely that in itself is a sexism .I propose the correct term should be personkind as huwomankind would be equally wrong I imagine.

Mods feel free to put this where suitable including the bin .

who has chosen to be known as ‘it’?

Venn diagram of people who think sexism is women being uppity and people who get upset about others not wearing a poppy.

Is it that hard to understand? I wouldn’t abuse or mock anyone but I don’t agree with it .

You do realise we don’t have to agree with everything don’t you ? And yes they should be able to live and enjoy their life without issues .

So you don't agree with it but you agree they can live their life the way they want. So you do agree with it?
I'm not sure you even agree with yourself.

So no takers for my new word ? I agree with stumps 1878 .I find things that are acceptable to the population as a whole are disagreeable to me .I have no bias and friends who want to have relationships that would have been frowned upon years ago ,that doesn't mean I like it as in want to try it .So leave him/her be as all you are trying to do is get him/her to type something you can pounce upon.

what do you mean you don’t agree with it though?

It’s self explanatory. Same as I don’t agree with smoking or don’t agree with Morrissey putting his vegan beliefs on everyone. It doesn’t mean I’m some hardcore divvy wanting to cause problems. It’s just MY opinion .

In my opinion I think it’s wrong . But I’m one of billions of people on the planet so my opinion doesn’t really matter .

You worded it a lot better than I could.
