But PC has gone too far, the majority of people feel that way now.

The majority of people don't feel that way now.

Based on what exactly? Not everyone in the world thinks like you do.

The world is becoming more inclusive, not less.

Not more inclusive of PC madness such as any man having the right to self-identify as a woman and freely use the female bathrooms over and above the right of actual women born women having the right to object.

Apart from anything else there is a clear safety issue there which is conveniently being overlooked in all the PC madness and so-called inclusiveness. Inclusive does not mean giving certain groups special treatment and making excuses for them as you seem to have done in this thread.

PC will eventually hang itself with its constant demands because it just keeps pushing and pushing to ridiculous extremes. Give them an inch and they take a mile.

On the other hand it will be judged by some, as it has been on here, to be overly PC to make a thing of this. Some say we should ignore it... its just a bit of fun!

It of course will be dealt with but how its dealt with was my question. I don't want this guy to get sacked. Hell, I don't even want him to get a written warning (though some of the team want him gone) because when he puts his mind to it, he's good at his job and could be a real asset to the team. I believe there are better and more subtle ways to get this guy to consider and think about his actions than going at him with a bulldozer. PC in a case like this helps everyone because it better resolves things. If it doesn't, thats another matter.

In SOME specific cases and on some issues it has gone a bit over the top, that doesn't mean people want to "throw the baby out with the bathwater" and reverse ALL of it to make homophobia etc. acceptable again. It's not "all or nothing"... You can't just say "Oh it's gone too far now, so we should just have NONE!"

Like... An obese person doesn't say "Oh my food intake has gone too far, I just won't eat at all now."

I mean, some do, but they end up very unwell don't they.
