The singer now insists he is referred to as ‘they’ and ‘them’ to protect his ‘gender sensitivities’.

Will this catch on?

Bless him, I take it the 'them' refers to the days of when people used to say 'he's one of them'

He's a local lad round these parts & his parents still have a jewellers in town, his voice grates on me though. More of a Guns n Roses man myself

Unfortunately yes.

Does anybody really believe in this stuff?

The sycophants in the media are already pandering to him and referring to him as he wishes to be referred

No doubt my using term "him" in previous paragraph will be treated as a hate crime in the Court of the Politically Correct

If it becomes law, then yes, you will be treating him unlawfully.

Not a hate crime; just hateful.

His voice is relentlessly bad. But if he wants to be called something, then i really dont mind.

This is all bollox , oh dear maybe thats an inapropriate word on this thread

Posted: **Sat Sep 14, 2019 9:21 am**

While the world metaphorically and literally burns, I'm still surprised how a person's choice of pronouns upsets people so much.

Posted: **Sat Sep 14, 2019 9:24 am**

Because it's nonsense.

And I thought we were discussing beer.

A very good one at that.

Think I'd tell both of him to "F" off, silly arse

Posted: **Sat Sep 14, 2019 10:02 am**

TBH I didn't even know who he is before this thread and I care even less now.

Old Farts in fearing change shocker.

I was with a friend applying for a job on the parliamentary website the other day. It took 5 minutes to get through all the stuff about inclusivity. There were 17 options to describe whether she was male or female. When it came to religion and ethnicity there was two pages. None of which was her religion, White Catholic. Christian was the closest. The world has gone mad!

Not so sure about that but perhaps I will never be able to talk again (which may not be such a bad thing) due to what I say offending someone.

Posted: **Sat Sep 14, 2019 10:26 am**

He may think he is not a man but that doesn't make it so.

Won't go out of my way to offend anybody though, at least not in real life.

Blimey, how long do you reckon he could get banged up for then?

I want to be called Senile Old Fart.

But if you dont know someone, how will you know how to talk to them when you first meet them.

Wow, I missed the bit where the pope took Catholicism out of Christianity. Cathexit.
