....is no longer going to be a "Mr" and will now be gender neutral.
Not sure how Mrs Potato Head feels about this.

No one is saying she doesn't, or anyone for that matter (bar Rommers, his input here was GRIM).
Go back and read my input here, the words alone, and take the point I am making on board rather than just seeing my post handle and assuming I'm looking for a row.
Spruce nailed it - not being racist but telling racist jokes is something I've seen resigned to the bin in my lifetime. The world is a constant progression, embrace it. |
Holdup.. I’d just like to have it on record I do care about the rights of transsexual people. You’re out of line for suggesting I don’t.
But there’s a major difference between caring about the rights of trans people and the bloody decision to change a 70 year old brand because it says Mr ffs. |  |

I'm not sure what he's arguing about really.
I think it's completely daft to take Mr Potato Heads balls away, that's just my opinion.
Does it add fuel to people who don't like or recognise trans gender issues - yes.
Will said people ever change their views - probably no. |
I too think it’s daft. It’s unnecessary.
And for saying that he’s saying I don’t care for trans people. The leap is a big one. Typical callis. | |

But why do you even care whether Potatohead has a Mr before their name? I genuinely don't get why anyone would actually get upset about this one way or the other. |  |

I don't consider you to be left from where I'm positioned, mate. I wish you could step back and look at how you're contributing to the 'debate' and see why what you're doing isn't remotely helpful to anyone, other than maybe yourself if you get kicks from it. | |

Classic Romford. |
Maybe.
I’ve always been of the view that making decisions like this, to change a toy name 70 years on, that offended nobody (including trans people) does nothing to further the real
Issues such as tackling transphobia. Not sure what’s massively offensive about that view. | |

I'm not upset about the potato. It means nothing.
I'm just pointing out how it's being militarised by the right to degrade the trans rights discussion.
Which also somehow makes me the problem and arms the right by pointing that out.

Maybe it's because you don't harp on about it enough.
Personally my view is that you can do what you want with your own body, you can chop your cock off, screw who you want and I don't care if you are black, white, pink, yellow or anything inbetween
But I don't want to harp on about any of it. I don't really think about it.
I'm probably a bad person. |  |

To clarify, I’m definitely not upset. I just think it’s totally ridiculous.
The cause is an important one. And yet is not being helped in any way whatsoever by gestures such as this. | |

That wasn't your only point though. You were mainly objecting to addressing your university colleagues how they wish to be addressed, the implication being that it is somehow a ridiculous request. | |

Your rant about pronouns was transphobic mate. I didn't randomly make that up.
My uni this week gave in to a campaign which now means every lecturer is encouraged to put their pronouns at the beginning of every email sent to students. Apparently you should also never refer to someone as he or she in a lesson as you could be misgendering someone. Only refer to them as this if the person has specifically announced at the start of a class what their pronouns are otherwise use a neatral term such as ‘they’. What has the world come to?
https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/gender-identity/transgender/whats-transp
Transphobia can take many different forms, including
negative attitudes and beliefs
aversion to and prejudice against transgender people
irrational fear and misunderstanding
disbelief or discounting preferred pronouns or gender identity
derogatory language and name-calling
bullying, abuse, and even violence [Post edited 26 Feb 2021 13:43]

That’s literally not the point it was making?
It was that I, unless I clarify before every new lecture, for the remaining time at uni, would be referred to as ‘they’. But why is that? Why would you assume ‘they’ from the start rather than ‘he’ or ‘she’. It’s unnecessary. If someone wants to be called ‘they’, I have no issue with that. But they ought to tell the class surely rather than everyone else having to change from that.
I hate that real issues that could be being dealt with aren’t because decisions like that and the potato head nonsense don’t further the cause they should be. They’re not helping anyone. | |

You are also making it an issue though. How helpful do you think it is for you to steam in as you do? At the point you started contributing to the thread it was mostly people making puns about potatoes, like pointing out you've got a chip on your shoulder. How has you taking the story seriously and accusing half the board of being transphobic really done anything to further trans rights? | |

But I’m not doing what you’ve put in bold. Nowhere am I discounting it.
If they want to be referred to as ‘they’ or whatever they choose, that’s fine. And I’ll refer to them as that. But the whole university changing to everyone becoming ‘they’, is unnecessary. And saying that doesn’t make me transphobic. I’m many things but definitely not transphobic, racist etc. You’re a really awful person for suggesting otherwise. I struggle to understand why I’m still on here when every time I’m back, you’re still accusing everyone of stuff. In this thread alone you’ve kicked off at everyone.
The issue is you. It always is. The day you get banned for going too far will be a great one for us all. | |
