I do love me some satire every now and then. Helps keep my wits alive!
I'm afraid that it's fake news. Nothing more than a load of fictious bollox written by some drunk chap.
How in the world would the words "Mom" and "Dad" that people have been using for ages become obsolete just because someone found it offensive? I refer to my parents as "Mummy" and "Daddy" and will continue calling them so. I don't see anything that could possibly be considered as "offensive" at all.
Just some attention seeking stunt by the media company. Isn't news to me.

Enough of this crap.
No one can remember what the word of the day is for anything anymore.
Whom ever sits around and thinks of this bull Schmidt doesn't have much of a life if this all they have to do all day long.
Imagine the meetings.
Well what kind of crap can we come up with today that has worked well for centuries but now have to be changed.
Ok, how about the word Ladies?
I know, let's call them non indigenous sparkle farmers.
Who gives a crap.
I for one still use names and terms that have worked forever.
If you don't care for it that is your problem, not mine.
Sooner or later we won't be able to communicate at all. More and more words are becoming offensive to snowflakes and the government is too weak to stand up for common sense. Even the "Ok" sign is offensive because it creates the letters W and P which stands for "White Power" 😂

According tabloid reports "People who are not "ladies" or "gentleman" may recognise the difference, feel included and that they belong."
I think that's great because what if your a cheap slut or a low life criminal rather than a lady or a gent? It's nice to include everyone.

This Anglocentric notion that everything English is more sophisticated and advanced than the US is obviously false.
Stupid wokism. One Australian State decided it was discriminatory that on birth certificates that the mother was presumed to be female despite it only being possible for biological females to give birth.
Both gays and lesbians always seem to be clear on what gender they are and what gender they get off on just as much as heteros are.
In the movie Kinky Boots there is a great line "Ladies and Gentlemen... and Those Who Have Yet To Decide". That seems to be pretty inclusive, even of those who think they are a cat or a dog.
Are we done yet?I mean I guess it makes sense. Just say parents or distinguished guests? Gets the same point across. And even outside "gender/sexuality" shit, there's still cases where people could maybe get rubbed the wrong way by those phrases. Single parents/single parent kids, for example, may not appreciate the reminder. Or if there's very few of one sex, ladies and gents could come off as a joke, or the speaker could not know whether to say both if they speaking largely to one sex. I'm sure there's other stuff too but I'm tired
I see that this madness takes over the world. It started in Germany some time ago. The media and everywhere else they are changing how to speak to people. For example:
Male: Bewohner
Female: Bewohnerin
New woke word: Bewohner*in
They do it so no one feels offended. I'm a women and I think this is just annoying. Everything was ok before the woke madness happened. I always see that "*in* for everything human related ("Schüler*in", instead of "Schüler" -> male and "Schülerin" -> female).
They also want try to avoid saying words that could include any gender so that they use a word that is too neutral, like you're an object and not a human.This sounds false. Like, some idiot on a council sent a notice that referred to parents with an unprofessional word (homies, breeders, etc) and then some bureaucrat made a rule that only the term “parents” can be used and then some asshat reporter turned it into “big government has banned the words “Mom and Dad!”.
Stop reading/listening to angertainment. This type of reporting is trash. It’s meant to manipulate people into getting mad so they’ll stick around long enough to view ads.
Lmao.
I think these people read too much Lacan (the fraud) and think they can quite literally change the fabric of reality by changing and policing language.
Their "pains" and triggers will continue forever and whether or not we get rid of all the references to our binary view of genders in our languages.
Said councils can go fuck themselves.
Woke culture will die out. It's inevitable. Human nature will win out eventually.
I like Jordan Peterson's response. I won't do it. If they fine me I won't pay. If they jail me I'll go on hunger strike.
I find "inclusive" language highly offensive because it EXCLUDES over 90% of the population. So as I said, they can go fuck themselves.It's not that dramatic... You just say parents and caregivers. Or instead of "good morning ladies And gentlemen" you say "good morning everyone". Like... It's not that hard, infact it's less words so easier, wow amazing we can be inclusive AND make it easier. Besides the rules aren't for you so why the fuck are you so bothered 🤔
So does that mean that the LGBT has accomplished their goal? They even got politicians bending to their will which, to my understanding, is far above and beyond the "live and let live" mentality it began with in the late 20th century.
It is a total load of bull shit, the Local Government Association has put out the guide is just going for 'Woke' points, members of council staff across the UK say the guide is 'a load of cods-wallop', A senior council source described the document as 'woke' and patronising', and its been put out by Mark Lloyd OBE, chief executive of the Local Government Association just to burnish his reputation.
This is none of my concern because I don't live there... HOWEVER, I'm intrigued what substitute words will emerge from this odd banning though. 🤔
It's just prove how dumb woke people can be. If you can find either of those offensive. They simply are always offended by everything and there is no hope for them.
That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
I guess we go with "female parental unit" and "male parental unit"; and "bitches and bastard". Do they like those better?
I get the point of this, but I don't see how it's going to work. They can't control how people talk nor what they say. Also I don't know which words are they're going to use.
In my opinion thats just stupid and you should be able to say anything you want as long as it is not putting anyone or a certain group of people down. But i dont live in england so i would not know if there was a specific reason.
That's fake. However British Airways actually did ban the use of "Ladies and Gentlemen" being used by pilots making their announcements on their planes.
Its apart of the evil new world order. Evil in high places. Bible. calls it... Satanism is a perversion. Sodom and Gomorah.. Also earth is Satan's kingdom. One day the anti christ will show up. Thats what satinsts want. Evil will be everywhere.. Just look at the news. We are in the end of days..
Clearly utterly idiotic ideas born from a deeply mentally ill mind. However, not surprising.
What words do they suggest are going to substitute "mum/mom & dad" and "ladies & gentlemen" from now on?
