Silly question. Let’s not listen to the nutters.

there's no problem with that!

smudgie 22-11-2017 07:44 AM

Will we still have sons and daughters?

The way this gender stuff is going it's like you are ashamed to be what you are, surely we are trying to get away from all that.

Cherie 22-11-2017 08:15 AM

TiBB won't be able to cope, what about drinks with the girlies :skull:

but yes stupido, we don't all want to be gender neutral

lewis111 22-11-2017 08:19 AM

I mean I really don't think many people at all think that way
You hear the most liberal left wing people be like "I'm having a girl" or whatever - stuff like this just kind of makes a mockery out of a serious issue IMO

Kazanne 22-11-2017 08:33 AM

Madness... And there's also a suggestion that we should not use the words "born a woman" because it will upset trans people.

There are loads of people struggling with their gender identity and mad crap like this does nothing to help them in their struggle. As always the maddest, loudest people get heard.

No

Oliver_W 22-11-2017 09:16 AM

Why is this even a question?

NO.

The most laughable aspect of this is that that phrase predominately exists indeed almost exclusively within the trans community, so they are censoring themselves :laugh:. I have absolutely no reason to use that phrase, its never even crossed my mind to ask women that I have met .... were you "born a woman"

I warned you all about all this SJW far left PC stuff coming over here from the US months/years ago.Everyone thought it was just a few idiots.It’s insane ideology infecting real actual normal people’s lives now.

It’d be a tight squeeze if anybody was actually born a woman tbh.

ridiculous

Shaun 22-11-2017 10:53 AM

I assume the issue is with people saying things that are gender-specific, eg: "boys don't cry", "dolls are for girls", "boys will be boys", "stop acting like such a girl" etc. Which I do think should be avoided... but obviously avoiding a person's sex altogether is a little bit silly and I don't think is going to pave the way to a happy and problem-free trans childhood.

At the end of the day it will only happen if people allow it to. If we just don’t bow down to all this manipulative nonsence, ignore it and don’t change our behaviours to suit - it will eventually disappear into the pit of past fads that failed where it belongs.

People that try to tell others how to think are in the minority and only become the majority if we adjust our thoughts and behaviours to accommodate their silly Whimsical ‘ideology’. I will continue to ignore the craziness and make my own decisions.

If we vote in crazy governments that support such madness then we may have a problem.
