Hello Mitch and Panellists,
Seriously 57 gender pronouns? ‘Zee’ instead of ‘he’ or ‘she’???? Give me a break!!! Why do we tolerate a situation where we have to accept non-gender-specific ideas and what does it really mean? Are people who suggest they are non-gender specific, asexual, nonsexual, neuters or what? What are we creating here? I think I am among the most tolerant people I know, and I encourage my friends and family to be respectful and tolerant of others too.
Can’t I expect that in return the majority of us will also be respected rather than have the politically correct brigade tell me (and everyone) to change the use of the English language because some people don’t want to be either a male or a female? Unlike many, I have had one of my siblings’ transition from female to male and he was certainly transgender until he identified fully as a man and then it was easy; he was he. He had gender. He chose it for himself and he was unambiguously a he. Are we in an age where we have so much 1st world indulgence that we play pointless mind games in the sexual-political arena?
Whilst gender reassignment issues exist all over the world, this non-gender-specific rubbish is purely confined to this wasteful current generation within the Western World. If I’m not missing anything, how do we stamp this rubbish out please panellists?
