[UK] Council to Give Out 'Pronoun Badges' in Drive to 'Educate Public on Trans Identities'
Breitbart ^ | 3/10/18 | Virginia Hale

Posted on 03/12/2018 5:56:56 PM PDT by marshmallow

Brighton & Hove City Council will equip staff with badges declaring their “preferred pronouns” as part of a project seeking to educate the public that making assumptions about a person’s sex “can be hurtful and distressing”.

Council and voluntary sector staff in the city will be “encouraged” to wear the badges, which include messages such as “My pronouns are she/her/hers” and “My pronouns are they/their/theirs” when they are distributed in the week leading up to ‘Trans Day of Visibility’ on March 31.

The badges will also be made available at libraries, colleges, and council buildings as part of a month-long drive to “raise awareness of Trans and Non-Binary people and that everyone has their own gender identity”, according to a press release.

My pronoun is Xrpqldc, and woe be unto the snowflake who mispronounces it!

“Man”, “Woman” and “Nitwit” ... that’s as much compromise as should be permitted.

“Trans” and “non-binary” people are mentally ill. They’re being exploited by the left for political reasons. Sick, sick, sick.

I’m just going to use the pronoun “it” for anything that doesn’t “identify” as what they actually are.

Are the residents of that town so dumb that they need a badge to remind them of four words: he, she, him and her? The English are getting to be dumber than dirt.

My third-person singular words are he, him, his —as they have always been. But I think I will demand that, when people address me directly, they use thee, thou, thy, and thine. And they better get it right. “Thou hast,” not ‘Thou have.”

Now THAT is a GREAT IDEA!
Since we clearly cannot count on sound science, thousands of years of common sense of the natural body, and our own eyes.

We can’t risk hurting anyone’s frail little snowflake emotions by letting them know we see through their little psychosis. /s

I am fully in the belief that none of this has to do with humoring the snowflake trannys. But everything to do with population control.

After all, if you can force people to bow down and kiss behinds against their own conscience, what else can you get them to do or not do?

Showing my age here, but the old villain snake prophet James Earl Jones played in the original Conan movie illustrated obedience of the followers to thought control power. He was showing Conan that is far more powerful than the sword.

Of course, being an older movie, Good (and vengeance) trumped evil. Using the Sword, of course.

Brits will put you in jail for saying the wrong thing, i.e. not being extremely politically correct. Freedom of speech is long gone in England.

I’d like to get a bunch of them.

I bet they would make great plinking targets.

Back in the 1930s the Nazis forced them to wear badges. Now they put them on themselves. Go figure.

It is more a matter of the mental illness being endorsed because it suits their political dogma.

If one can change gender by changing one’s mind, then everything from morality to reality is infinitely malleable and there are no differences between the sexes.

No scary dystopian novel about a frightful impersonal overbearing government that dutifully requires strict adherence to groupthink ever went as far as jolly old England has in reality. They've really gone over the falls.
