What has being a 'biromantic asexual' got to do with doing a job (or anything)? Does he think it's a dating site? Unless your job is pushing madey uppey labels for things that aren't relevant to anything. This blurring of personal 'identities' and work duties is unprofessional. It's like putting 'virgin' or 'self-obsessed' or 'boring twat' or 'likes sugar in my tea, but will accept a sweetener at a push, please stir it twice, but I could drink a glass of water if that's all you have available'. It's the vacuous fluff they have bouncing around their bonces. Why are there so many of them?

It's all part of being able to "bring your most authentic true self to work". It's utter BS. I don't want people to bring their personal crap to work, I want them to bring their professional selves to work the same way I do and have done for many years. As you say, it's yet more blurring of boundaries which is so insidious and dangerous and starts with pronouns at work. Boundaries are there for a reason and are healthy!
Exactly! We used to have minimum standards - dress, behaviour and appropriateness. They've already been re-written - anything goes as long as it is covered by the magic trans and queer sparkle dust. The rest of us are being "encouraged" to put our pronouns in our email signatures and use "inclusive" language. I've worked in male dominated businesses all my life and I have never felt more excluded.
I wish more could speak up and out on this. It's like previously unearthed levels and types of misogyny with bells on. I've always been in male-dominated professions and illegally moved between the admin side to the delivery or tech side (but I refuse to call them 'male' they're just professions) so I don't know otherwise. I have put up with shockingly silly and also abusive behaviour, but then always in turn been respected and encouraged by those sensible men who know their salt. It's often been women who've pulled up the ladder behind them and ensured I didn't get credit or had to perform better than the men around me to stay afloat. One man who led a team I worked alongside was great at spotting how to retain the brilliant women through maternity leave and having children and a good twenty years before others built that into those sector workforce plans. He also spoke about that, actually wanted to know what made us tick, so we knew we had options. He sent me a thank you card for one project I'd helped with and saw as part of my job and it meant a huge amount to have that recognition as he saw it as going above and beyond.
I don't think I've laughed as much in work as when an unassuming engineer told me about interviewing young pups and asking about some things mentioned in their work histories and CVs. And could they tell her about that part of the project they claimed to have led as it happened to be her project, yet she doesn't ever remember meeting them before or seeing their name on any documentation? And could they remember the workaround that happened three months in?
Yes but I worked in academia. There's a lot of bad stuff going on and I'm not naive but I am genuinely horrified that within a decade they have truly destroyed standards. All these departments pumping out this crap, it's not just undergrad, they have created PhDs and get funded for more and more. I was in STEM, but they are rotting learning and education from within. I sent an email to someone I used to work with who's at LSE a while back but I cannot believe he can stand being there still.
All this fake 'research' they pump out makes me want to weep.
Yeah Arty Morty was saying on the latest Mess that the Humanities are not the Sciences. And cannot ever be. I always wonder how anyone could be so stupid to let this dangerous BS into science but then I remember the immense political force behind it.
I think there are a lot of them because it's easy to do, and some people are willing to playing these stupid games if it's advantageous, and in some circumstances it is. But expectation some organisations have of its employees, is to be permitted to invade their privacy.
At the start of a meeting I attended a few years ago, people were asked to introduce themselves to the group, give their pronouns and disclose their sexuality. Couched in meaningless, bullshit language about acceptance, inclusiveness and a safe environment, etc. It wasn't well received, a couple of people complied, some only gave their names and others expressed how this made them feel, angry mostly.
Now, the people asking the questions have got bolder, and the ones being asked feel pressured to offer the kind of response and answers they're looking for. And it isn't 'if you want to know my pronouns use your fucking eyes and ears. For the rest, mind your own fucking business'. Unfortunately.
Thank god I retired this year and don't have to endure this BS. I have a friend who is a teacher. He is Conservative, pro Brexit, Catholic and Gender Critical. Whenever these issues come up in the staffroom he leaves the room in case he his asked a direct question. He would have to choose between lying (against his conscience) or telling his true opinions ( with career and social risks involved). It is like NAZI Germany in the workplace now.
How dreadful that he can't express his views and maybe have a conversation about them, regardless that they don't correspond with the opinions of the other person. If your friend was open and honest, it's quite likely he'd be treated as though he'd disclosed himself as a far right, xenophobic, transphobic bigot. These are powerful words with specific meanings, but they've become virtually meaningless.
Too many pseudo left wing liberals casually throw them around, paying no attention to where they land. Just like paramount spiteful little turd, Mr Little Owen Jones. I don't think he give two fucks about trans people, and his claims that he'd date a transman are irrelevant. What's that supposed to indicate or prove, other than that he's a liar? Jones hates women, he wants to ridicule and attack women, as he frequently does. And given that gender identity ideology is part of a strategy to oppress and diminish women, of course he's going to support the misogynistic bile it throws up. Not a nice man at all.
So many people have to self-censor these days. So glad I don't have to any more now that I am retired. No personal pronouns or telling people about my gender or sexuality at work. Though do have to watch what I say on twitter about a certain TRA who appears to be litigious and keen to involve the police in her twitter spats with GC people.
There is a Jesuit reply to the question about lying: Some people are not prepared to hear the truth. In my experience, very few people are mature enough to face the truth -- i.e., reality -- head on and not cower.
Would you listen to the queer drivel presenting itself as so-called 'academic discourse'.
"this negotiation between desire, identification, anxiety, and a queer boy’s performative disruption of a shared queer space functions as the starting point blah blah blah".
It's criminal sexual exploitation of a minor. Nothing less. It's a police matter, not an 'academic' matter.
Make up a bullshit bingo card for 'unintelligibility' and have fun marking it off as your card fills up fast reading this dross. Funnily enough Master Jacob Breslow ALSO likes to use that word a lot. I think they think it means they are most clever and profound. It is all rather ironically unintelligible pap.
And it's always underlying, oppositional, reifying, performativity. Disruptive. While you work out what the empty feck they're spouting they've scarpered to the next scene of crime (sing 'Depravity' to the tune of 'Macavity' at this point).
I think I'll be doing likewise, I have no expectation of the Labour leadership distancing itself from misogynistic, homophobic gender identity ideology anytime soon. Starmer and co are more than happy tie the rainbow/trans flags around their necks and show what dutiful allies they are. Fucking clowns.
That insane woman is from Canada (which explains a lot). Her YouTube bio claims she is “looking to reduce the stigma around gaming culture”. Yep. I mean what better strategy could she possibly have come up with than publicly defending a paedophile? I’m assuming she is typing from a Pizza Express in Woking the way she’s carrying on currently on Twitter.
I looked into her career for two minutes and ended up at this link (it refers to her show). It sums up the gaming culture she's referring to quite well. There are also gamers who avoid the stigma problem by not have terrible attitudes towards women.
I think this part of the judges summary says all we need to know about her show: “It makes no contribution to the Canadian airwaves.” And the observation could and should be applied to her Twitter presence.
How do you go from being Director Of Public Prosecutions - which must require pretty exceptional skills & application - to buying into the dumbest belief since Flat Earth? He's now on the side of the porn addicts and the swivel-eyed gender cult morons.
I’m Labour, I support LGB, and until the Labour Party accept a one member, one vote on this issue, I will not stop pushing for it. I do not believe that after a fully informed process, that the majority will not agree with me.
No party exists as yet, where i can caste my vote. Tory,( a def no) Labour ( you're kidding), lib dems, ( what? for heavens sake!) Greens,( you are joking of course! All creatures are trans)---
Nothing,nowt, an utter dearth of anti trans, pro child protection, woman, care for young people caught in this tangled net of lies.
Who will push forward to form an alternative and solid party, challenging this present state of cowardly avoidance of biological, truth?
Surely someone, somewhere to step up and shatter all this mind bending trans-lie--- so desperately required---
Yes. Whilst they are fighting there is. The ones passing this quietly and without opposition I find most chilling. My MP knows exactly how I feel and I told him so. He is fed up with having to defend the indefensible. It's like a weird watchful waiting.
I'd write something but I'm still wordlessly spluttering and stab-pointing frenetically at my computer over a progressive accusing someone else of policing 'thought crimes'.
As Reuters fact check correctly states : ‘There is no evidence to suggest Sir Keir Starmer, then DPP of the CPS, was directly involved in the decision not to prosecute Jimmy Savile’. If that were me I might be hyper vigilant to noncery in future.
They aren’t meant to be “sitting on these boards” surely? Aren’t trustees meant to be directing? That’s why who they (or who they are not) is so important.
Exactly. It revealed an awful lot by that choice of words. You can collect 'boards' and 'committees' if you like. Nice little earner for a few hours 'work' if you get paid, and you do have responsibilities but some seem to slip out of them. There's a lot of confusion about what board member, executive, non-exec, trustee etc all mean. I can see exactly how Jacob got where he did and they all patted each other on the back for such a coup managing to get him there. It may have been testing the water but it seems they really think (or know) they are above all scrutiny.
I'm having a moment to reflect because Liana Kerzner is upset. I'm going to have a word with myself because I feel shit at missing the point here. I should care more for pedophiles. She's great👍🏻🙌🏻 and desperate
"Keir Theory!" 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, FFS! They need to leave their personal sh*t (and their comedy tits) at home. Workplace codes of conducts are gonna be so easy to re-write:
"Anything goes"
How about some minimum standards?
Exactly! We used to have minimum standards - dress, behaviour and appropriateness. They've already been re-written - anything goes as long as it is covered by the magic trans and queer sparkle dust.

Because there are so many universities, with so many students, and they school them in this stuff

Thank God I'm retired! It sounds horrendous. I think I'd end up swearing at everyone all the time and I'm a very amiable person mostly.
It's hard Cary Bee. Very hard.
What the he'll does 'biromantic asexual' mean?
Twice had a crush on someone, but didn't get anywhere?
It means he only makes love to his biceps.
So it’s always a threesome.
😂😂😂
It would all be hilarious if they weren't so utterly tragic as human beings.
I intially read it as biro mantic which I took to be sexually aroused by pens .
On re reading , it made even less sense .

Exactly. I was searching for the words. Thanks.
Even though I think it's current government is a disaster, I'll be staying at home during the next general election unless Labour sort this issue out.
I think I'll be doing likewise, I have no expectation of the Labour leadership distancing itself from misogynistic, homophobic gender identity ideology anytime soon. Starmer and co are more than happy tie the rainbow/trans flags around their necks and show what dutiful allies they are. Fucking clowns.
*this current government 🤦♀️
