How Would You Like To Identify?

Are these people mad?

"Our rules commit us to ending all forms of discrimination, bigotry and stereotyping. UCU has a long history of enabling members to self-identify whether that is being black, disabled, LGBT+ or women."

Still, good to know they will respect my right to identify as an eskimo pre-op about to become a male legless stuttering little girl.

woof woof, I am a cocker spaniel, lol.

"Are these people mad?"

Well, yes, obviously.

completely bonkers..

//Our rules commit us to ending all forms of discrimination, bigotry and stereotyping.//

Which is ironic considering the exact opposite happens whenever anybody mentions any form of gender fluidity on AB.

I identify as a 13 year old. and I demand my right to have my identity (and my child train ticket) respected by Virgin Trains.

Cooo … you’ll be in trouble, Deskdiary! You can’t identify as Eskimo – I believe in some areas of the world that’s now considered to be offensive. Inuit, dear chap, Inuit.

Potty!

[waterboatman]

You are who you are. End of.

[SparklyKid]

End of,lol.

[naomi24]

Mozz, I’m not sure why you want people on AB to support this nonsensical pretence.

[SparklyKid]

Gender fluidity, what the heck does that even mean.

[ToraToraTora]

MAABOF!

[Old_Geezer]

Not cultural appropriation is it ?

[youngmafbog]

The liberal left at it's best.

I'm not worried whether you support it or not Naomi, I just don't understand why people get so butthurt about things like this. It has absolutely zero impact on our lives.

[Zacs-Master]

Me neither, mozz. Far more important issues to be concerned with like which is the best Christmas ad, and other weighty topics.

[CrapAtCryptics]

i`d like to identify as a lottery winner.

[naomi24]

Mozz, you expect others not to care so why do you? It’s the same old story. Men who identify as women want to share female toilets and changing facilities and real women are expected to accept that because it doesn’t matter. Well, if it shouldn’t matter to women why does it matter to men pretending to be women?

[Zacs-Master]

It doesn’t matter to me at all. Why does it matter to you, N?

[youngmafbog]

It's all going to end in tears. Allowing men into 'womens' changing rooms will attract the perverts. Expect a rise in problems with spy cameras as well as outright front on perversion. How many 'Oh sorry thought it was empty' will it take before a Court appearance for a Company tht has allowed this?
Compo.com must be rubbing their hands with glee.

[Mozz71]

Okay, these are genuine concerns. So how did these concerns change from fears about privacy issues to the mocking and pisstaking we see on every trans post? We don't see any considered arguments, just the usual bullying of anyone different.
