@retoor This, honestly.
-
@Fast-Nop I think the words were "She has an enlarged Adam's apple. I think she is a dude."
-
@Root Troublesome snowflake sensors dialed up to 11 right there.
-
I think these days companies try too hard showing off their inclusivity rather than actually making real change in day to day operations or making employees life easier by a bit.
It can be quite simple In my opinion.
Don't make anyone feel uncomfortable talking about non work things.
Respect their pronouns.
Its tricky to get into the whole pronouns habit I know I have felt that many times but Its the times we live in today. -
@rjcrystal i don't do the pronouns. Already too crazy for me
-
@rjcrystal I will not participate in someone else’s delusions. I won’t participate in forced speech. Sorry, but that’s my own line I choose not to cross.
-
@Root I've met one real non binary and that was in a mental hospital. She belonged there btw. Huge identity crisis and suffering from that. Not something to put on fb wall
-
@Root Given how fucked-up traditional men and women roles are, i definitely see why they don't want to be either. I am a heterosexual male but don't fit the classic role categories either. It is about time to completely abolish genders as a means to socially categorize humans.
-
@rjcrystal @retoor "they" is the only pronoun you will ever need to address everyone correctly. It is gender agnostic and therefore always correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
-
@Oktokolo no, you're confused regarding this. They is not OK IMHO
-
@Oktokolo the singular they is just a syntax error. See screenshot. I got this text from the page you mentioned
-
@Oktokolo We already have the correct gender neutral pronoun for singular: "it". No reason to abuse plural "they".
Ooohhh, but "it" is also used for things, right? Well, newsflash: so is "they" for several things. -
@retoor Pandering to ever crazier shit will only generate even more of that because the point is attention whoring, and once shit is accepted, you can't use it for that anymore and have to dial up the crap.
-
@Fast-Nop "It" states the gender being null, while the singular "they" states nothing about the gender.
-
@Oktokolo "Singular they" is already BS.
-
@Fast-Nop hehe, you got downvoted. Sensitive subject
-
@Fast-Nop Nah, but some just don't get the semantic difference between something that is known to not exist and something that is not known.
-
@Fast-Nop 'you' is already a grammatical plural. All we need is to use 'we' in place of 'I' and there's no need for singular pronouns.
We will feel great, should this happen. -
@Fast-Nop if the HR Person is a apple Fanoy/girl, you have no chance of even trying.
-
@max19931 Yeah, but that would actually drive my point home. ^^
Every company HR department in the 90s: "Don't talk about any sexual topic at work. It could be construed or misconstrued as sexual harassment. Keep all communications business-focused only."
Every company HR department now: "Here's a 20-page PowerPoint describing where diverse individuals of a kaleidoscope of gender spectrums put their genitals in the privacy of their own bedrooms...or out in the street in parades...or, just wherever. Don't like it? We'll be discussing your departure from the company soon."
