Political Correctness!!

[Buggsy61]

I have been working at a contract in the public sector for the last two years. We have two transgender people here and recently a mail went around telling us the do's and don'ts of dealing with transgender colleagues.
One of the dont's is asking them what their previous name was etc.
upon further inquiry you are not even allowed to ask them whether they are still in possession of a penis or not - its political correctness gone mad!!

Do you mean whether they still have it attached, or whether it's at home bobbing about in a jar of pickled gherkins?

But like drug possession these days can you ask them if it's on them is it for personal use.

Is it something you are dying to ask them?

Not really. Live and let live as far as I'm concerned. Only 3 hours kip after getting home from Wembley last night so in a lets troll a thread mood!. The guidance we had though was genuine. - caused quite a stir!

Live a long way out in rural Oxfordshire and getting out of Wembley and home is a real pain, so didn't get into bed until gone 2. Woke the Mrs up getting in last night so she deliberately returned the favour this morning, with a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp!. Can't wait to get into the new stadium, as per all of us I guess.

I mean, kind of makes sense. You presumably wouldn't ask any of your other work colleagues about their genitals (and you'd probably be in trouble if you did).

Yeah it’d be a weird question to ask in a work environment or any environment unless you had a good rapport with the person. I can see why employers would look to guide colleagues in this regard tbh.

Personally sick of sky trying to ram woman’s football down my throat. If they love it so much buy the live rights. Instead of these token useless pundits. Glad I have somewhere to say how I feel.

Yep - it's Womens football. If Women ain't watching it, bitch and moan to the Women that ain't watching it.

Personally I quite like it. These PC times sometimes does my head in. Hopefully its a little tongue in cheek but seriously If you hate Tottenham its good to find out asap If someone you could potentially employ was a Yido

Interested on peoples thoughts...

I go there on occasion and one of the butchers is a Spurs fan, the others all seem to be cookers.

The fishmonger, Steve Hatt, a few down (I recommend them highly) are mostly Spurs fans (there is one gobby but friendly gooner).

I moved to Barnsbury a few years ago and it’s mostly gooner (invaders) but there are plenty of Spurs fans about (natives). Many of the young are turning to Spurs thanks mostly to Harry. The tide may be turning!

I phoned him up, told him I wasn’t really a football supporter but watch a bit on the telly
I did mention I was from South London

He asked me when I could start!

So according to some on here, they've butchered the use of the English language?

To be fair, bunny's are ****s. Fuck 'em.

Karma is when a cutesy likkle bunny rips your throat out.

This place just got weirder somehow

"These butchers with their fast and loose approach to grammar, in particular their cavalier use of apostrophes, were clearly people living on the very fringes of society. Without the butcher's shop to occupy them, one shudders to think what sinister activities James Elliott's staff would have been drawn to. Perhaps they’d be selling knock-off Teletubbies stuffed with old tampons."

Fabulous!?
