Ok cunters, here’s a chance to ‘declare your gender’.
A little confused? Fear not, all will be explained. It seems that students at Edinburgh University ‘welcome week’ (hold up, didn’t it used to be called ‘freshers’ week’? No, that’s discriminatory language against freshers) are to be ‘encouraged’ to wear ‘gender pronoun’ badges to indicate whether they wish to be referred to as ‘he’, ‘she’ or ‘they’ (‘they’??).
A written guide issued to students claims that ‘gender is fluid’ and that assumptions based on appearance can be ‘frustrating and harmful’; therefore the narrative that pronouns can be ‘assumed’ must be ‘challenged’.
So there you go, ladies and gentlemen SORRY there you go EVERYONE. Let’s see if we can broaden out this ground-breaking initiative to embrace the wider population, starting here and now. Now’s your chance to get with it and declare just how fluid YOUR gender is. Are you a ‘he’, a ‘she’ or a twatting ‘they’? (or perchance even an ‘it’; let’s have no discrimination against ‘its’!!!). Don’t worry about it if you’re a bit confused at the moment; remember, ‘gender is fluid’, so just pick one for now, and you can always change your mind next week if the mood takes you.
Now I appreciate that if you’re reading this, you’re probably of an age when boys were considered boys and girls considered girls, and vive la difference. Well welcome to the Orwellian Newspeak world of ‘gender politics’. It’s hard I know. Like me, you think it’s a total load of pretentious, pandering wank, but hey, that’s unprogressive, dude. It’s time to challenge your outdated, bigoted mode of thinking, time to liberate your consciousness and heighten your awareness dude. It’s a Brave New Snowflake World out there. Just write your pronoun of choice on a badge and wear it the next time you go out, secure in the knowledge that you’re hip, and absolutely nobody thinks that you’re making a complete cunt of yourself.
And don’t forget. Next time you’re introduced to someone (or something) remember to ask that all important first question, ‘what’s your gender pronoun?’ After all, you wouldn’t want to give offence. People have been strung up for less.
Right on, man, er woman er whatever….
