Sainsburys! Where’s the gingerbread man gone? Dd refuses to buy a gingerbreadperson. Good on her.

Run run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me as I don’t exist anymore.

There is the joke about wanting jellybabies, all boys

  • but there's not that much difference
  • no, but there is that much more jelly

I've always called them gingerbread people, or gingerbread women. It's because I generally try to subvert the stereotypical norm that "people" are defaulted to "men".

We used to have gingerbread men and gingerbread women (with a gingerbread skirt so you could tell) then they came out with gingerbread person which is just a gingerbread man no extra gingerbread skirt no extra icing, no thank you

I really want a gingerbread with iced genitals now Sad

I agree with Spartacus.
At least they gingerbread person is not the default male.

Love the 2yo who only eats GBW lol

I thought that GB men were men in the sexist sense where men means human (or ginger, so to speak).

Tbf there are no distinguishing features that make a gingerbread man a “man”.
I wouldn’t object to this unless the supermarkets drew tiny icing knobs on them and still called them gingerbread people.

Not sure whats wrong with gingerbread person to be honest? Do you object to chairperson, fire fighter, police officer?

Morrisons have switched to gingerbread people. Maybe there aren't enough biscuit cutters to cover the eleventy million genders?
