the world has gone mad

[Steve2000]

Therein lies the issue with Twitter and the like, it has given idiots and attention-seeking gob***** an instant global platform to spread this nonsense and it never takes long to turn into full blown viral crusades against these perceived injustices.

The post above that outs him as using the same wording in a previous tweet just highlights the sheer absurdity of it all.

Should have just said, "good afternoon, everyone", I suppose.

What if they identify as more than one entity? Like a swarm?

 

[Nasher]

I identify as whatever doesn't have to pay any taxes.

(An American software company?)

Lol, surprised they even bothered with the generic reply, although take solace in the fact that they likely give 0 actual ***** and will do nothing.

They will do something considering they are supposed to use "Good <insert time of day" passengers" and it's in their training.

Companies should stop fake apologizing and just be honest and say they don't care.

But they do care.

Or a collective. "We are the borg, resistance is futile"

Yeah, calling such a collective "everyone" would be co-opaphobic.

They just need to get the old station microphone and crappy platform speakers together with an announcer who speaks with an unintelligible regional accent (of another region) and make train announcements just like they used to be. Offending everybody.

I need to watch South Park for a dose or sensibility after seeing this.

Thought I would share this with you guys (yes, I’ve used the word guys).

Is it the 60's in a different drag? 'Love everyone'.

The world has definitely gone mad, being reprimanded for stating facts.

The tail is wagging the dog. With a bit of luck that level of neurosis wont get a run on in the antipodes.

 

[mumihp]

It will be intresting to see what they replace the greetings with...... seriously, you need to look at what is going in the world if this offends you.

 

[Zatoichi.uK]

I think I'd like "your dudeness or el duderino".

 

[mcast123]

I've only met one non binary person in real life, she has genuine mental health issues, I can't help thinking the issues are related.

 

[Zatoichi.uK]

I know one in real life. Guy to girl, went to a steiner school and Dad is kind of an odd ball. Just hope they don't do anything too life altering as still young.

Orwell told us all this 70 years ago, but we didn’t listen.

At the end of the day you're either a boy or girl, a lady or a gentleman. The thing hanging between your legs (or not) decides that, end of. How that can be offensive is beyond me. Soon people will be offended by being called a human

That isn't strictly true, as some people are genuinely born intersex.

 

[Zatoichi.uK]

That isn't strictly true, as some people are genuinely born intersex.

But there has never been, nor will there ever be an individual who can both get someone pregnant and become pregnant. Its a birth defect, not a new sex/gender which I expect was the wider point.

Yes, but you can appreciate why an intersex person may not consider themselves either...because they biologically are not. Whether it is a birth defect or not isn't relevant to the point i was making - every function/part of our body will have been a "defect" (ie different from the norm/their parents) at some point during the course of evolution.
