Can anyone think of a name for this thing

[spathiphyllum]

They should call it Alex and get over it.

[Mamyalynne]

Cake, or is it Biscuit?

[dannyk13]

Sandy.

That is absolutely crazy, mad, ridiculous. Anyway, call it a ginger-bread kooky.

How about Ginger?

[Buenchico]

I'm wondering what actually makes a gingerbread 'gender neutral being' different to a gingerbread man (or, indeed, to a gingerbread woman)? I can't ever recall seeing a gingerbread man with a penis or a gingerbread woman with breasts!

[Buenchico]

>>> How about Ginger?

Brilliant!

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best (as here). 'Ginger' is used as a name (or nickname) for both men and women and, self evidently, perfectly describes what we're discussing here.

Now why didn't I think of that?

[ludwig]

It's a bit sad that they refer to the gingerbread person as 'it'.

I wonder if this is how we'll be having to refer to people in future so as not to cause offence by assuming gender identity.

[spathiphyllum]

I like the suggestion sandy lol

But ginger is a very good one also!

I think, if it's getting this pedantic though, why not scrap the person completely, and just have a round cookie?

Also, man = mankind doesn't have to mean male.

I interpreted is as they are not looking for an actual Christian, or first, name for it, but rather a noun to describe it.

[Buenchico]

^^^ I saw it that way too initially, Sanmac, but 'gingerbread person' (in the post) seemed to have got that covered already.

A *** biscuit

[spathiphyllum]

a non gender specific unconscious ginger biscuit shaped like a human

[anotheoldgit]

This type of thing is now getting rather ridiculous, they will be asking for a gender neutral name for a snowman next.
