We had a driver come in once wearing high heels and stockings.Every time his back was turned ,people were grinning
Most of us wore high heels in the 70s, admittedly not to a blue collar job.

Tay side Region in their wisdom are employing a Periods Dignity Officer, the only one in the U.K. Said officer is MALE. I dont know what to make of it either!How tf did he qualify for that job?
I’d have liked to be a fly on the wall at his interview.
What prerequisites and qualifications are required? What are the responsibilities and expectations of the role?

Wtf is non binary , Christ I do feel old at timesThey can’t decide if they’re Arthur or Martha,.so they claim to be neither.
That’s about it in a nutshell really .
It’s not that they are neither, it’s just that’s it none of your business which they are.

So how many women do Argos have doing this kind of job then?Never mind women, how many non [zb] binarys are employed there.on delivery trucks?
I’d sure as hell bet a big fat zero,
It’s just another example of pc nutters with [zb] all to do, being offended by proxy.
I would expect a fair few females to be employed by Argos, I’ve certainly seen women employed everywhere I’ve been. And I would also expect a reasonable proportion of those females to identify as non binary.
Yorkshire Tramper:
I used a gender free toilet the other day and I couldn’t tell you the difference between any other toilet, same as I wouldnt have a clue if I have ever had a none binary delivery or not. What on eartth have we come to.
So why are you complaining?

Ok.
You appear to be very defensive on this subject, is it YOUR business, or are you their official spokesman…(.or spokesperson.)

I get ■■■■■■ off as much as the next man about all this pc woke crap. But my daughter’s best friend is non binary and I really struggle to refer to them as they, not the he or she that I would expect to. So I’m just trying to put their case, seeing as there’s no one else here to do so.
The only analogy I can think of is have you ever heard a black person on the radio and not realised until it was mentioned, how did your attitude change towards the person. A non binary would like to be treated as a person first and not prejudged on their ■■■. So we might have to suffer some changes to our language, but it could be worse. In Thai how you say hello is different if you are male or female, so I don’t know how non binary Thai people cope!
Ok so can you solve my curiosity if you actually know somebody like that.
Why do they even feel the need not to categorise themselves as a gender, some might say it’s attention seeking,.especially when you see the types on tv explaining and advocating themselves.,.why not just live your life as you like without ramming it down people’s necks as many of them seem to do…

I’m as lost as you are mate.
All I can say is that if it’s important to them, maybe we should give them some consideration by not calling them something they don’t consider that they are.
But I agree some take it too far.
I don’t really care if someone identifies as a frying pan tbh, don’t expect me to pander to your mental illness however.

But your just pandering to them , allowing this crap to carry on , I grew up through the 60,s/ 70// 80/ 90 and we got along fine without all this rubbish , to me it’s just attention seeking , I’m 61 & it’s the first I’ve ever heard of not knowing if your a man or a woman , surely a quick looks down your pants or knickers would tell you that

So far as Gender goes, they are either male or female. Their ■■■■■■■■■ is their business and I would like them to keep it that way. What two or more consenting adults do behind their own doors is entirely up to them.
I’m not overly fussed if they call it two man or two person delivery.
I do find it slightly ironic that here’s a thread campaigning an issue that doesn’t involve many on here whilst screaming against wokeness. By nature this thread itself is woke, no? Finding offence in an issue that doesn’t involve yourself?

More of a thread COMMENTING on a ‘‘news item’’ concerning a job in transport on a transport orientated forum, and adding a personal opinion on it …than a campaign.

True enough. But an opinion on one matter has then lead into views on the “whole” matter including people’s personal perception of society to the point where its almost like a meeting if old fish wives (or experienced nautical people)
Honestly is this in isolation really a big deal? I mean bin men have been refuse collection operatives for years now haven’t they?
It gets on my nerves and yes I agree it’s all a bit roll eyes here we go again, but i wont waste my time being… woke… about wokeness. Its being turned into a bigger deal than it really warrants by people who want switches if the population tonlook at something else instead of examine failures thar are ongoing.

Nah, just RobRoy being himself.
Telling everyone else that he doesnt care about what doesnt affect him directly.
Telling others not to whinge on about what they can`t alter.
Telling us all to live and let live.
He`s all about freedom of speech, and
freedom of expression, for everyone…who agrees with him.
But youre right, so long as the media owned by the ultra rich, gets him wound up over such things, uniting the masses against minority groups, he wont be looking at important things that do affect him and his family.
Today he might not see himself in a minority. He isnt a gay, nor a foreigner, but when those particular "boogie men" loose their hold? Who knows? It could be footie fans again? One incident and youll all be tarred with the same brush…(vertical black stripes

Ok
But I think you’ve just about described every thread on this forum that involves an action or statement by the ott pc brigade, it just breeds volatility, even from those who …(dare I say it Frangers)?are not really bothered about such crap, but give their view on it anyway in the spirit of a FORUM. 
However not ‘‘being bothered’’ does not stop you giving an opinion and/or a counter argument to redress a balance…, but the problem starts when you get virtually clinically obsessed with a subject to everybody else’s amazement and amusement, and go on to perpetuate it into 70 pages of the same old crap to the point where everybody (except the likes of Franglais ) get bored ■■■■ less with it.
I’m sure this will be a 2 page wonder fizzle out…so don’t worry about it.
For what it’s worth, we had a regular female drivers mate on the drays at our yard, and she could throw the tubs around as good as anyone.
