How long will it be... 08:13 - Jun 14 with 6693 viewschicoazul

....before shops and online retailers aren't allowed to use terms like "Men's" to indicate which clothes are intended for men, but have to use something else instead?
I say within 3 years.

Well, you can already be arrested and thrown in jail for saying you're English...


Really?

Just for saying you're English?

I'm pretty sure that men and women will always have different shaped bodies, so I think it will always be helpful for shops to indicate to us which body shape their clothes are intended for.


Not in the case of, for instance, pre-transition trans women.

In that case why are you bothering, as you and others have already decided I am stupid/mad and i'm overreacting? You could tell me why you think i'm wrong, of course.


Hi gents, I think I can see what has happened here and it's a case of miscommunication.

The problem, as I see it, is slight differences in intent and interpretation of the word "overreacting". Based on what Chico has posted, he seems to feel that the word overreacting suggests he was having a strong, perhaps even slightly wild emotional response to the issue in question. When in fact there appears to be little evidence of this in his posts.

Dan however, appears to have meant the term "overreacting" as a statement that Chico's opinion (shops not labelling clothes by gender within 3 years) was simply wide of the mark, an over-estimation if you will as to the response of the retail sector on the given issue.

I hope that helps.

...can you explain why not for pre-transition trans women?

Have you ever considered a career in forum moderation? My training institute is offering night classes if you were interested in gaining your accreditation?

Tempting, but I've heard Phil only pays in digestives and I'm more of a hobnob kinda guy.

we are swiftly moving toward a world were simply identifying something will get you into deep trouble.

Fear of offence could paralize normal society.


In 100 years I reckon people will be heavily encouraged (at least) to bring their kids up gender neutral until they decide what gender they are.

Truly impaired.
