No demand or complaint by someone supposedly trans is too petty or trivial and for the press to ignore.

Now self-proclaimed non-binaries apparently expect to be provided with gender-neutral toilets. Because using a restroom that isn't tailor-made exactly for their special gender identity would violate their human rights & deprive them of dignity. Or something.

It's a real mystery why this guys co-workers didn't invite him to the ladies' lunch!

They writes ONE paragraph in which they is trying to make themselves look better, and cannot help making reference to how well their penis functions. WTAF.

Why can't the bepenised stop talking about them?? Why would a group of working women want to have lunch with someone who brings up this topic randomly and for no reason? Hmmm I wonder.

Could we not raise money to buy and send a bunch of 'gender neutral toilet sign' stickers to this person? Then they'd always have one to customise whichever toilet they were in and could live in a state of permanent bliss thereafter? (unless actually its more about the attention than the sign on the toilet?)

Can this poor bookstore not sack him for bringing the company into disrepute or something? He doesn't seem to mind dragging his employer's name through the mud. :(

When did we stop saying "I want doesn't get" ?

It was a very common refrain when I was a child & I'm not that old.

Not too many restrictions, this was one... don't damage books was another.

Zee wants to have it both ways: to be "gender neutral" when it suits them but to be invited to a "ladies' lunch". What a tosser.

"People were so afraid to misgender me they would avoid talking to me altogether," Brewer says

Well, seeing as people get arrested etc for "transphobia" for accidentally misgendering I'm not surprised they didn't want to talk to this person. And they expected to be invited to the Ladies Lunch or whatever it was - but they said they don't associated with either gender, so what if the women invited the person and they got extremely offended? It's an absolute minefield. Best not to interact at all, and that way, no one will get arrested.

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 09/11/2018 08:45

According to his Facebook post, yes.

FekkoThePenguin · 09/11/2018 07:26

In San Francisco? Really?

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 09/11/2018 07:15

He also claims to have been "gay bashed" in San Francisco and set up a GoFundMe page for support. Not that he was asking for donations or anything but if anyone wanted to donate...

rolls eyes

I'm really wondering how the space alien bit fits in. And whether they are non binary? Grin

InionEile · 08/11/2018 23:01

He's literally a gay man with heaps of issues. He is a mess

Excuse me, Kat. How dare you label them like that? They is a - and I quote - queer, nonbinary, heteromantic, space alien, OK? Please, show some respect.

Wonders silently what 'heteromantic' means...

HermioneWeasley · 08/11/2018 20:00

Is there anyone “non binary” who isn’t an absolute twat? I can’t think of any, whereas there are loads of decent trans women.

KatVonGulag · 08/11/2018 19:54

He's literally a gay man with heaps of issues. He is a mess. I feel a bit sorry for him really.

FekkoThePenguin · 08/11/2018 19:52

He's a man surely? Not special enough for him? Get a life matey.

KatVonGulag · 08/11/2018 19:51

Funny that pronoun thing.
Zac/Zed/Zee doesn't mind being complimented as a man. And his new Facebook has Zee as a woman.

So thems has used both sets of sex pronouns.
No wonder his poor colleagues are confused.

I feel bad for anyone who is genuinely trans and has had surgery, years of pain etc only to be upstaged by an eejit like this.

Even the newer non transsexual but "binary" TRAs are like turkeys voting for Christmas supporting this ideology.

Plessis · 08/11/2018 19:02

I'm sorry but saying 'they is doing what is right for thems' makes a person sound like they are either from the West Country

LOL

InionEile · 08/11/2018 19:00

If Powell's isn't 'woke' enough for you, you're the problem, not Powell's. It's an amazing bookstore and has a solid history of standing by the disenfranchised and supporting lefty causes.

Can't believe someone would make such a fuss about going across the street and up three flights of stairs to go to a public gender neutral restroom when there already was one they could use in a small, private office where no-one would question how they present because their colleagues already knew that they were nonbinary.

Surely the whole point of gender neutral bathrooms is for nonbinary / trans people to not be harassed for using the 'wrong' bathroom? That's impossible if you're in a private office and everyone already knows you're nonbinary.

Clearly just a difficult person going out of their way to sulk about no-one recognizing their special yoonique identity. All they're going to achieve is to make employers more hesitant about hiring nonbinary people in future. I feel bad for anyone who is genuinely trans and has had surgery, years of pain etc only to be upstaged by an eejit like this.

Ijustwannadance · 08/11/2018 18:36

If he was the only one with a dick in the office, then he would've had the men's toilet all to themselves anyway! Spent entire life using the fucking men's loos with no issue but now demands mixed sex facilities.

No bloody wonder the women didn't want him spoiling their lunch. Probably fed up of having to pander to an adult male who thinks they are now special.

PipGoesPop · 08/11/2018 17:18

Got a cock and present as a man? Use the mens.

I'm sorry but saying 'they is doing what is right for thems' makes a person sound like they are either from the West Country*, a pirate or are 3 years old.

*Which is fine if that's where you're from or you are a pirate or 3 years old but for the rest of us it's ridiculous

PipGoesPop · 08/11/2018 17:05

Look at me look at me look at me 😒

Sexnotgender · 08/11/2018 17:04

What a knob!

Love that they did a ladies lunch, smart women.

WhereYouLeftIt · 08/11/2018 16:57

Spot on Zeugma. We do not know how pampered and privileged we are.

terryleather · 08/11/2018 16:52

Jesus Christ. This shit makes me so angry I could scream. Fucking grow up and learn some humility, you unspeakable pathetic ‘non-binary’ arseholes

This. With bells on.
