I think you’ll find that’s BERFS.

Where I live in Ireland the bins are totally woke.

Our blue bins are for green rubbish, and the green bins for household.
It's the same over in Northern Ireland.
We are far ahead of you TERFS.

To be honest I'm confused by the whole thing as round here blue bins are for recycling, green for food waste and much smaller.

Trans green bins are green bins #nodebate

Bunch of trans(bin)phobes

MrsFogi · 04/10/2019 10:32

I am perhaps overthinking this but a few questions:

  1. do we think that bin owner does not have a green bin but has filled the blue bin (hopefully mis-colouring a bin does not breach mn guidelines Grin) with green rubbish and is expecting the bin collectors to accept the self-id and treat the bin as a green bin?
  1. If the blue bin that identifies as a green bin is nonetheless filled with blue waste should the bin collectors nonetheless collect the waste as though it is green waste because to do otherwise would be [insert the equivalent word for transphobia towards self identifying bins]?
  1. If I begin to assist bins that I pass with finding their true selves and happen to use my big maker pen to label them with the colour that they self-identify as - will their owners then be guilty of the [insert equivalent xxxphobia word again] if they continue to fill them according to their original colour?

Do not kink shame my objectophilia!

aliasundercover · 04/10/2019 10:17

That bin is stunning and brave.

ArnoldWhatshisknickers · 04/10/2019 10:12

Ridiculous nonsense does invite ridicule.

MrsFogi · 04/10/2019 10:06

OMG this is genius - in addition to stickers I am now going to carry a giant marker pen in my bag and may just help some bins to find their true identity whilst I'm on my travels. If enough bins in the country self-identify as a different colour.........

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 04/10/2019 10:06

This really has been the most bizarre experience of my life, watching the top down attempt to impose complete fucking nonsense about "gender" on the general population, but it kind of feels like maybe we've hit the point where enough people have noticed that the inevitable end is in sight?

I certainly hope so, because it's either that or full on dystopian novel.

randomusername · 04/10/2019 09:59

This is brilliant!!😂😂😂😂

LikeothersIamjustme · 04/10/2019 09:52

I was thinking the same thing. Saw the bin post on facebook yesterday and also a link to a Metro article where a man sent a dk pic to a trans woman who sent a dk pic back. First comment was 'you go girl' rest were predominantly 'where is the girl/woman in this story?'. I think the majority of people have always thought rationally but, now it has gone too far, people are prepared to speak out. Puuuullllll!

I just can't believe how many people haven't noticed.
Last two private conversions with male friends:
Me: No, they are actually say they ARE the opposite biological sex (cos feelz).
Them: Wait, what, that's crazy

Me: They put fully intact male rapists in female prisons.
Them: Wait, what, that's crazy

deydododatdodontdeydo · 04/10/2019 06:44

The man on the street has never been behind this.
It's the men in power that is the issue.

Totally agree. I've been saying this for ages.

donquixotedelamancha · 04/10/2019 06:43

I don't understand your post. Why does a picture of a perfectly normal green bin, just like all the other green bins, prove anything?

Also, what are the bin's pronouns? I don't want to misgender xer.

AnyOldPrion · 04/10/2019 06:23

My children were making “I identify as” jokes a while back. I think most people have always seen this as ridiculous. Most people think it’s another stupid phase that will pass. What they don’t know is that it is being written into law. Therein lies the problem.

RainbowsAndGlitterAndUnicorns · 04/10/2019 03:07

✔️😂👏🏻

GirlDownUnder · 04/10/2019 02:24

I would love this to be an MNer - this is next level up from stickers GrinGrinGrin

JustTurtlesAllTheWayDown · 03/10/2019 20:41

I've seen that image a few times on Facebook today. Think it's going viral. And the comments are almost exclusively taking the piss. There's definitely been a lot of peaking going on.

There is definitely a shift in the general public.... fingers crossed it filters up.

I think it's more that people are aware of the ridiculous language, where formerly they would have just ignored it all.

zebrasdontwearbras · 03/10/2019 19:27

Quite brave too! Marking out where you live...some of these TRAs are nuts.
