seeder Posted July 13, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I dunno... Quote The "ladies and gentlemen" greeting on Tube announcements is to be scrapped, Transport for London (TfL) has announced. London Underground staff have been told to say "hello everyone" in an effort to become more gender-neutral. TfL said the move was to ensure all passengers felt "welcome". LGBT campaign group Stonewall welcomed the decision, which was supported by London mayor Sadiq Khan at a session of Mayor's Question Time last month. The revised phrasing will be applied to all new pre-recorded announcements made across the capital's transport network. Mark Evers, director of customer strategy at TfL, said: "We want everyone to feel welcome on our transport network. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-40591750 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post aztek Posted July 13, 2017 Popular Post #2 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) there are only 2 genders, male and female, whether you are gay or trans, you still consider yourself either man or a woman, whether biological, or transformed, gay men are still men, if a T considers himself a trans woman he is then a woman, no matter who you think you are, you are either man or a woman, regardless of real or not, so "ladies and gents" greeting was appropriate.

Dark_Grey Posted July 13, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 13, 2017 So this applies to one person on the train while the rest of the passengers roll their eyes 5 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acute Posted July 13, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I'm sure that even the most genderless person can temporarily jump off the fence in an emergency, and use one room or the other. 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztek Posted July 13, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) this is retarded, there is no such thing as gender less person, we all have either y or x chromosome, which defines gender, unles someone can show me a person with neither, gender less concept is liberal idiocy Edited July 13, 2017 by aztek 4 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted July 13, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Now if they'd only get rid of "May we have your attention please; closed circuit television and Remote Video Monitoring is in use at this station/Smoking is Not Permitted Anywhere On or About the Station/Please keep your luggage with you at all times, any unattended luggage will be Destroyed or Damaged by the Secret Services", that would be a service to the community. 3 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Commander Travis Posted July 13, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Anyway, they're right of course, it's so much more welcoming to say "Hey there folks! May we have your attention please. Due to apathy and indifference, all services are subject to delay or Cancellation", does't it.

Michelle Posted July 13, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 13, 2017 If I am in doubt I don't use gender specific pronouns. We have a friend that is a drag queen officially in those kinds of shows around town. He is adorable. When he is dressed as a she I call him her. When he is dressed as a him I call him him. 3 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, also gender neutral to consider. Your point about chromosomes relates to biological sex which is not the same as gender. A quick question to everyone so against this change: What harm do you think will come about from greeting people on the train with 'hello everyone'? 7 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenoFish Posted July 13, 2017 #20 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) I don't support the problems of mentally ill people who can't decide if they have a penis or a vagina. 2 genders damn it. Even real trans people know there are only 2. Except these SJW and transtrender retards. Last I heard there was "Supposedly 72 genders". Remove the 70 and you got the correct answer, 2! So? Do you support this idiocy? You have one of two types of hardware. Your sexuality is NOT a gender. Edited July 13, 2017 by XenoFish 4 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you support this idiocy? Still waiting for those studies.... I assume you also have sources to support your diagnosis as a mental illness? Again for your benefit: biological sex =/= gender. Hence why we have different words e.g. transgender, transsexual and transvestite. They all have different meanings. I support anything that makes anyone feel more welcome and has no negative consequences for anyone else.

No harm in the change. My problem is the reasoning behind it. I have no issues at all with people being who they are, and expecting to live free from persecution and prejudice. Things are going way too far these days though. The tiny minority aren't happy with tolerance and "live and let live." They want to beat society into submission, until every single oddball gender concept is on the school curriculum and enshrined in law. It's counterproductive, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if many LGBT people aren't happy at the social justice warriors who hijack their cause. 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
