Can someone explain what "genderqueer" means?

Why is gender and sex banned in that poster- this just gets weirder and weirder. Soon we will all use the same pronoun and be forbidden from declaring sex or gender

I've seen more than one tweet where people in the US saw UK feminists displaying suffragette colours and thought they had appropriated the "genderqueer flag"

I didn’t even know there was such a thing; I only know those colours as suffragette colours. And as the suffragette movement was founded well over a century ago, who exactly is appropriating who?

I know a bloke whose hobbies are real ale and football, but is “non-binary”, apparently.

Does it not fall under the LAMISOT* umbrella?

*Look At Me I'm Special & Opressed Too

We had training at work the other day about inclusivity, presented by someone who introduced herself as "a queer ciswoman whose pronouns are she and her". She could have just said "I'm Karen" - who introduces themselves by pointing out that they are a woman and who interests them romantically?

This diagram was then shared for us to use.

It's a way for the privileged to become an oppressed minority.
Far more oppressed than anyone else, especially women.

I tried to read that article but it just seems to be one word over and over again.

ME! Me! Me me me me me me meeeeeeee!

I'd get banned.

I think genderqueer means posh kids appropriating structural oppression because it was the only thing their parents couldn't buy them.

This is brilliant! Spot on!

I'd think you were my sister if it weren't for the fact that my mother is dead.

Also, I haven't got a sister.

Do please film her reaction when you tell her.

Lol Fekko I think my mum is gender queer. She’ll Be delighted when I tell her.

Me, ‘I’ve lost all the sight in my left eye now, and that was my good eye. Now I have to use a white stick to get around.’
My mother, ‘oh it’s like when the optition told me I needed to start wearing my glasses for driving.’

She’s a card my mother, a somewhat self absorbed card. Thank you for telling me what’s up with her. I’d just been assuming it’s because she’s a bit of a narc, but now I know.

I'm not at all convinced this has helped the OP.

🤣🤣

They sound a bit - well like immature arseholes really.

I'm jealous of the genderqueer/NBs as they obviously have access to THE LIST. I don't think the only one I've seen was legit as it had some strange stuff about Northern women on it.

How do I know if I'm doing my gender right? Or is that sex?

Thank-you for that Badstyley, my thoughts exactly.

Whilst GenderQueer (or any of the other stupid descriptors) have the whole country running about appeasing them, the real losers are those that do need support and assistance.

People who always bring the conversation back to themselves?

I’ve just been mugged! It was awful and I’m still shaking with...
Well that’s nothing - just now a man didn’t hold the door open for me and the trauma, the trauma!

My mum just died and I’m feeling really...
Well that’s nothing - my poor cat died (when I was six) and the grief, the grief!

The doctor says I’ve got breast cancer - so I have to have an operation next week to see if they can stop...
Well that’s nothing - the NHS actually put transwomenon a waiting list - a waiting list - for breast surgery. Why are you being seen next week - the travesty, the travesty!

Gender queer is the person who sees somebody being decent and helpful to the disabled person who’s just struggled on two buses and a half mile walk to get here, but only sees the being nice bit, so assumes they must be oppressed because they had to fetch their own coffee.

Genderqueer - someone who is disappointed in their own banality.

Yeah, I gotta say when you think about it, it's fairly meaningless. It does seem to be a way of some people claiming specialness without changing anything about themselves except their pronouns.

Gender queer, or as it’s also known, attention seeking spoilt brat, is characterised by a perceived missing out on being special.

Imagine, walking down the street and you see someone giving a homeless person a cup of coffee and a sandwich. Well Gender queer thinks, why aren’t they giving me a coffee and a sandwich as well? That’s not fair.

Now imagine, you’re walking down the street and the disabled woman on the other side of the road falls over and drops her shopping, and a friendly young man helps her up and carries her shopping to the bus. Gender queer thinks, my shopping is heavy too. Why isn’t nice young man helping me? Why doesn’t anybody notice my pain?

Gender queer is the person with a right face on because everybody is giving attention to the black guy on the other side of the table who is telling the group about that vicious racial slur he got called in Tesco car park.

Gender queer = awwwwww, I want that.

A bit loud and flamboyant
Needy
Demands attention then shrieks when they get it

Usually hetro but wants a special label
Often has blue or pink hair

Ah yes, the discovery of sex in 1963 which was the start of the decline in gooseberry consumption.
