I'd imagine anyone genuinely struggling with their personal identity probably isn't too concerned about the gender of fictitious characters.

That aside, "mother" isn't a gender so Mother Nature (who, as a total aside, seems to be doing a very good job of replacing that other imaginary source of life - God - in common belief systems) can quite happily be any gender she wants.

I do find it all rather sad. I was reading the other thread. I’ve spent my life saying to my kids things like say thank you to the lady etc. If someone were to take offence at that it wouldn’t go down very well with me I’m afraid. I totally get the offence if people do it on purpose and I’m sure people would get it wrong just to be spiteful and ignorant but people who wish to be referred to as something that hasn’t ever been the norm in our lifetime need to accept that people are innocently going to make mistakes. If I knew someone was non-binary I would make a conscious effort to refer to them as they, of course I would but it isn’t going to come naturally to a lot of people x

Yeah I can’t get on board with identifying as a lamp or a dog etc. That’s just attention seeking bollocks.

I suppose that I come under the 'transgender' category and I love being treated like a woman, especially by my lovely women friends, but rather unfashionably I don't believe that anyone can actually change biological sex; gender is perhaps usefully vague but really just means masculine or feminine, not male or female. Sadly I can't get physically altered to resemble a real woman because of my age and ill health, but even if I could it would not change my genetic sex, however good an imitation woman I became.

It is great being treated as an honorary woman, and I love being like this, but a lot of the screeching abusive word-twisting 'transactivists' seem to be misogynistic and are anything but feminine. I fear that their vicious, aggressive, irrational behaviour will actually backfire against those of us who love and respect real women.

I hate the 'pronoun fascists'; I really don't mind being referred to as he or she but would find 'it' a bit rude!

I find that most people are usually very kind and accepting, more than I had expected, but people shouldn't be bullied into telling lies, and the whole trans women in women's sports or prisons thing appals me.

I do worry about upsetting or offending women, or confusing or upsetting small children, and do my best not to (although I loved meeting a woman friend's little girls and they were quite happy and OK).

I think most children are to be honest. My daughter’s friend’s father is trans and I expected a few questions. I got none. Only time she says anything is when I say blah blah’s mum and dad accidentally and she says mum she hasn’t got a dad she has two mums!

Manchester has already had its gender changed. The original name for the settlement was Mamucium, where "Mam" was derived from mammary, because of a local hill having a breast-like shape. The name translates literally as "Titty Town".

Yes; sadly we haven't got any children but the woman friend happens to be a lesbian so the girls were used to 'non-traditional' families/people, but I think that you are right and that children tend to be more matter of fact about such things than adults.

Exactly. This is why I think patience is needed. Most kids are being brought up in the world as it is now. The rest of us are having to adapt more so mistakes are going to be made unintentionally. I had it all in my head what I was going to say etc but no questions at all so I just left it. Which to be honest made me glad that she thought nothing of it x

Sadly I can't get physically altered to resemble a real woman because of my age and ill health, but even if I could it would not change my genetic sex, however good an imitation woman I became.

It is great being treated as an honorary woman, and I love being like this, but a lot of the screeching abusive word-twisting 'transactivists' seem to be misogynistic and are anything but feminine. I fear that their vicious, aggressive, irrational behaviour will actually backfire against those of us who love and respect real women.

I hate the 'pronoun fascists'; I really don't mind being referred to as he or she but would find 'it' a bit rude!

I find that most people are usually very kind and accepting, more than I had expected, but people shouldn't be bullied into telling lies, and the whole trans women in women's sports or prisons thing appals me.

I do worry about upsetting or offending women, or confusing or upsetting small children, and do my best not to (although I loved meeting a woman friend's little girls and they were quite happy and OK).

I think most children are to be honest. My daughter’s friend’s father is trans and I expected a few questions. I got none. Only time she says anything is when I say blah blah’s mum and dad accidentally and she says mum she hasn’t got a dad she has two mums!

Trust a kid to get it when so many adults can't (or won't)

Exactly. This is why I think patience is needed. Most kids are being brought up in the world as it is now. The rest of us are having to adapt more so mistakes are going to be made unintentionally. I had it all in my head what I was going to say etc but no questions at all so I just left it. Which to be honest made me glad that she thought nothing of it x "

Dunno where that emoji came from at the end! Not meant to be there.

"I do find it all rather sad. I was reading the other thread. I’ve spent my life saying to my kids things like say thank you to the lady etc. If someone were to take offence at that it wouldn’t go down very well with me I’m afraid. I totally get the offence if people do it on purpose and I’m sure people would get it wrong just to be spiteful and ignorant but people who wish to be referred to as something that hasn’t ever been the norm in our lifetime need to accept that people are innocently going to make mistakes. If I knew someone was non-binary I would make a conscious effort to refer to them as they, of course I would but it isn’t going to come naturally to a lot of people x

Some even take offence at being called "they"...can't do right for doing wrong! x

Do they?! I thought they/them was the correct term. This is what I mean! It’s ridiculous. People just won’t bother anymore. Everyone will be walking around with their heads down.

I've heard some say "I'm not a they...I'm such and such" At the end of the day, I don't care what they call themselves as its not my business....apart from when someone says they identify as a tree or such like! I know some will have a go at the comment but seriously!

Yeah I can’t get on board with identifying as a lamp or a dog etc. That’s just attention seeking bollocks. "

Sorry but I chuckled at this

Its a topic that is getting quite some airtime on the forums. To you its a joke, but a bit disingenuous to not at least acknowledge the possibility that some may see it as antagonistic.

I do remember the its just a joke defence used in the 80s over some stuff that would be seen as universally unacceptable today.

I am not offended BTW, but am finding gender vs non gender threads getting a bit stale now.

I was actually reacting to the weather and a late frost. So not sitting here plotting, scheming…

Tiresome is also hysteria every time a person makes a pub level comment. Bore bore bore. Now back to pineapple on pizza.
