Eldorado Posted April 23, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2019 "On Tuesday it emerged that a British maritime museum has begun referring to ships it exhibits as "it" in a bid to appear more gender neutral. The decision taken by the Scottish Maritime Museum near Troon was sparked by vandals. Twice in four months, references to boats as "she" have been scratched out of information signs, forcing the charity’s director to scrap the gender-specific term altogether."

+OverSword Posted April 23, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2019 My God! The ridiculousness of people these days know no bounds. This person identified as a woman just long enough to break the deadlift record for females in England. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetoroam Posted April 23, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Quote The decision taken by the Scottish Maritime Museum near Troon was sparked by vandals. A 19th century steam yacht called ‘Rifle’, which once carried Queen Victoria across Loch Arkaig while she was visiting Inverlochy castle in 1873, had its display signs defaced last week in the latest attack. The vandals have won.. Get cameras set up and ARREST these idiotic disrespecting thugs. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with these vandals what gender ships are refered as But it has everything to do with the owners when the idiots deface the signs. They need to be caught and made to pay for the damage they caused as well as a prison term in HER majesty's prison. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but if they're just 'identifying' as a woman in order to attempt to prove a point, then they never actually identified as a woman at all. Basically just someone trying to be a dick.

XenoFish Posted April 23, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The problem is when people give into these asinine issues. If it offends you've got to change it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all are bowing down to the bullies, thankfully Quote , the British Marine Industries Federation, said their organisation would stand firm. "Our owners have always referred to them as 'she' and will continue to do so A Royal Navy spokesman said: “The Royal Navy has a long tradition of referring to its ships as ‘she’ and will continue to do so.” I notice there is nothing on the gender of the vandals. Either they do not want to offend them or they do not know who they are. For all we know the vandals could be Heterosexual- Homosexual- Lesbian- Bisexual-. Pansexual- Bicurious- Polysexual- Monosexual- Allosexual- Gynosexual- Questioning- Asexual- Demisexual- Grey Asexual- Perioriented- Varioriented- Heteronormative- l Erasure- Cishet- Polyamorous- Monoamorous- Queer- Ally- FFS! Are they making up new words each time they look in the mirror? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Sir, need to develop a sense of humor. I thought the ridiculousness you were pointing to was the existence of gender identity itself, not that some guy was triggered enough to enter a woman's contest, essentially proving nothing in the process. And they're laughing at you, not with you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
