Should people who identify as llamas be eligible for DEI schemes?

[purplepoppy]

The UK government has declared people who identify as llamas must be treated with respect and companies have to include them in DEI schemes with the aim of having 5% of upper managerial posts going to duelspecies by 2030. The correct toilet facilities must be provided for those who identify as animals but fully human men and women must share the same toilets.

The Right are up in arms about this, but aren't they always? One rightwing MP, Mr Gammon claimed to be foaming at the mouth at the news. However experts were quick to point out foaming is likely to mean he identified as a llama and encouraged him to come out of the closest and embrace his true identity.

While the UK is cracking down on illegal migrants many were quick to point out many animals undergo long migrations. An African identifying as a swallow migrating to UK breeding grounds after spending the winter in africa must by law be allowed to enter. In more facts I've made up, safe in the knowledge 90% of you haven't read this far and are now having a rant, the government reminds people that disturbing people who identify as bats living in your attic is a crime.

There is a ‘DEI’ scheme before our very eyes as a South African White Male finds his way into The Oval Office to utilize his connections with The President of The United States of America to do unspeakable things to benefit himself while parading around ‘Make America Great Again’ as a shield & deflection for his scheme.

Vice President JD Vance spoke at the Paris AI Summit and said Donald J Trump will be in favor of no regulation in regards to AI. Why? Elon Musk wants to acquire OpenAI. Just like all the Big Tech Bros that donated to Trump Administration transfer period to The White House (Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates just to name a few). All these companies have one thing in common: All had something to do with “AI” as a marketing ploy. Facebook - AI Influencers, Microsoft - AI Chat Assistant & Generative Prompts, Google - AI Chat Assistant & Generative Prompts, and Apple’s iPhone running on AI “features”.

Need I remind everyone the dangers this could cause? It isn’t ‘Radical Left’ to have government regulations. Car companies originally wanted to prevent seatbelts to save lives because it would make consumers believe cars were “unsafe” which didn’t affect it at all and furthermore we have DMVs for licenses & punishments for ‘DUI’ so clearly we can come to common sense conclusions to effectively regulate the AI industry without preventing huge margins of profit. Don’t let anyone try to brainwash you into thinking it can’t be done because that is what the lobbyists & Big Tech want from us. Don’t fall for this!

We can have sensible laws to criminalize misuse of AI tools and regulate how corporate entities can navigate the industry properly / use the tools at their disposal to prevent criminals from misusing AI. Napster and Limewire didn’t destroy the music industry, just made it change with the times to Spotify & iTunes & Apple Music & more, so regulations will do the same. It won’t stunt progress though it will stop criminals from getting out of control. We should be taking this all more seriously, at least that’s how I feel.

Maybe 6 months ago, I wondered just how far this LGTBQHJLRT... insanity had gone. I thought it might be like 8. I googled it and the top search result said 68! I did the search again a few days ago and the top result now says 73! Enough! Actually too much!

I'm done accommodating every nutcase who wants to identify as a light bulb, a tree stump, or a half unicorn - half whale lesbian. I'm done keeping track of your fantasy pronouns.

You can indulge in any fantasy you want. But don't bring your mental problems to my doorstep. I don't have the patience to accommodate your nonsense any longer. I am not learning, keeping track of, or using 73 made up pronouns. Soon to be 173.

Identify as anything you want. I couldn't possibly care any less. But DO NOT think I need to go along with your personal fantasies. Keep it to yourself and we'll get along just fine. I'll still think you're nuts. Especially if you identify as a pecan. But I'll be perfectly civil. Right up to the point where you insist that I recognize that you're a transexual zebra. No. No you are not. You're mentally disturbed. We're done.

I should have added... racial and real gender diversity (female) in the workplace are a different story. We still don't have a level playing field / equality. So DEI where that is concerned is still a work in progress and a legitimate role for government to play.

[Staximus]

What the fuck dude, I identify as a tree stump. No discrimination against stumps!

[goaded]

@Staximus Great, now we can't even call someone dumb as a stump!

[OneViewpoint]

@goaded ,

Sure you can. They just don't get their own gender and pronouns. They're just dumb as a stump.

[Anonymous]

Yeah but only because I will identify as a lams to get a £500,000 per year job. I had to identify as a biracial lesbian Muslim refugee to get a good college place so this wouldn't be any different. So weird because I went in wearing a hijab, got a tan, dyed my hair black and got brown contacts.

[dustybiker2]

Question.
What about people who identify as alpaca? Or are they excluded?

[goaded]

Those are just weirdos.

[dustybiker2]

@goaded oh..

[Off_Jack]

I would absollutely identify as a llama and fulfill my four-llegged fantasies. Just the thought of those soft, fuzzy coats brushing against my skin, imagining myself sinking into the pllush warmth of a llama-identifying individual, sends me into a frenzy. I can't help but picture a herd of these hallf-human, hallf-llama creatures gathered in a singlles bar, their hybrid bodies entwining in a llustful dance of power and incllusion. Just imagine these majestic beings, their llong necks arching in ecstasy as they beg for my primall touch. Their human hallves would be a dellightful mix of intelligence and primal desire, a perfect bllend to conquer in the bedroom.

I identify as a Tasmanian Tiger. Do I get extra DEI points for being a marsupial in the UK. I should because mammals, reptiles and insects are as common as muck.

Do I get to hunt Englishmen and women? I should because your kind hunted my kind so it is only fair.

Do I need a hunting licence?

[Jersey2]

The US will set a new standard in the world to get DEI out of government and therefore business. A serious look needs to be taken at bringing back mental services for people in need. That can be paid for with the money saved from waste, corruption and fraud.

The US brought DEI to the world, we owe it to them to lead the way on this as it was a failed experiment.

[WellBye]

Send them all to a vet with big gloves, they will learn soon.

[AviatorTom]

Do they need to identify as male or female llama, or something else?

[Spiritof1776]

Insanity. Genesis 1:27 says "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them". Thus, there are only two sexes; male and female. Sadly, most have chosen to reject God's design. As a wise man once said, "When you reject the truth, any stupid answer will do".

[Kaneki05]

Wait until god finds out about intersex or frogs...

[Spiritof1776]

@Kaneki05 Frogs? Explain please. As far as intersex... God doesn't have to find out, He already knows. You need to take something into account; we live in a world that is under a curse as a result of our sin. So of course there will be genetic malfunctions such as people that are born with no arms and no legs or, as you mentioned, are born intersex. Intersex people are created by God, just like you and I were, and are still either men or women... just with some of the chromosomes and genitalia of the opposite sex. It's that simple. The example of intersex really has nothing to do with people who say they are llamas.

[Kaneki05]

Frogs can change sex naturally it happens. It's not the only species of animals who can also change by will. Proving nature will and can adapt it's own sex to survive if necessary by the laws of nature.

And my point of course has nothing to do with been llamas, you can't be that of course if human lol.
But it's about the idea of sex can't be changed or different though my mistake if you weren't making that point.
However that's usually the point when someone says stuff like this.

[Dargil]

Not just Llamas, Hamas, that want to be Jewish women.

[Anonymous]

If furries can work at NASA I don't see why they should be disrespected or discriminated against in hiring in the UK.

[FreyaRed]

I like British dark humor, however I was surprised many times that some news from UK aren't sick British jokes but true stories.

[exitseven]

If they identify as Llamas they should be sheared.

[Kaneki05]

I do identify as an animal. Humans are animals lol.

[Shiprex]

I'd appreciate a llama as one of the bosses. Right now it's 5 women and 1 guy at the top table and I don't feel represented.

[Anonymous]

Sounds like the inmates are running the asylum in the UK like they were here in the US until recently. Perhaps we can loan Trump to you after he's done cleaning thing up here.

[Iron_Man]

I have no idea what you’re talking about llama

[purplepoppy]

It's like an alpaca

[Iron_Man]

. Ok…

[Regular_Normal_Guy]

If people really do this they r stuuuupiddddd

[Ethan_T]

I don't know why anyone wants to be a animal i don't get it 🤷‍♂️

[beefcakebradybatson]

Can a handsome black cowboy be eligible for DEI?

[Spencer10]

This is shades of Monty Python...

[noohair]

What is in the water over there?

[MikeRJ]

Is this a joke?
