Cis-gender queer woman

I'm not a huge fan of Ben Shapiro, but his reactions to Woke TikToks with a lot of self-important people banging on about gender woo are quite entertaining:

@FrancescaContini you can think it’s a pisstake but you still have to respect my right to be surprise gender gender.fandom.com/wiki/Surprisegender I always knew I had a natural affinity to kinder eggs and now I feel accepted.

I'm feeling a bit queer used to mean I think I'm about to vom. Back when, in addition, queer was an insulting term for male homosexual.

What is the point of her saying this if people then have to ask her what she actually means?

Years ago I knew a lad who’s mum was French. He made a big thing of being dual nationality and having a French mum when no one cared one way or another. He was always at pains to point out how different he was to the rest of us with our boring parents.

Another lad said of him “deep down, I think he’s just really, really normal.”

That springs to mind a lot these days.

The comments are priceless, especially “I’m confused about my gender identity”

I’m not surprised you’re confused. It’s BULLSHIT.

Got to be a piss-take. Some teenager has spent a small fortune on shiny new felt tips at WH Smith and spent the afternoon making colourful creations and inventing nonsense.

The thing with labels us that they are supposed to clarify information.

These days though they are paraded when not necessary* and usually obscure facts.

*I am guessing she made that statement as part if bringing her whole self to work. FFS.

I wouldn’t ask - what if she is ‘spicy straight’ () and starts telling you about it…

I made that same mistake and nobody needs to know that much detail about their colleagues sex life 🤢

So boring. She's probably just got a couple of piercings and snogged her best friend once when she was drunk.

A few decades ago people called themselves 'mad' or 'crazy' when they wanted to appear fun.
That's exactly what I was thinking "I'm a bit mad, me!" said by a completely average person with a completely average life.

Definitely attention seeking. A few decades ago people called themselves 'mad' or 'crazy' when they wanted to appear fun. Then last decade it was 'awesome', now it's 'queer'. I'm betting it will evolve to 'kinky mad' or similar odd word.

The four young women I know who call themselves that are either married or in LTRs with men. And have only ever been in LTRs with men. Attention seeking nonsense.

I asked my boss if I could put which football team I support and what religion I was born into in my email signature. He said "No, and I am certainly not asking you to put your sodding pronouns in either"

"Not necessarily the same as being a lesbian, heterosexual people sometimes call themselves queer because they're in to kink."
And I give a shiny shit about a colleague's kink , why exactly?

Why has she stood up and told everybody then? There's loads of stuff about me that I don't think is anybody else's business, so I don't go around shouting about them and making them other peoples business
I agree with this, and this is why I resent the pressure to add pronouns, which amounts to telling everyone you work with your 'gender identity'. For me, that's pretty personal. In gender ideology terminology, I suppose I'd be classed as 'librafeminine' - a new term I learned the other day, which means non-binary gender but leaning slightly towards the feminine. I mean, even I'm bored typing that out, so why should people I work with need to know? How would it change anything in a professional environment?

Narcissistic bullshit.

If they’re into kink they need to keep that out of their workplace. Why the hell do their colleagues need to know that?? Answer: they don’t.

I also don’t have to be kind to every person everywhere in order to be a good feminist. I don’t collect feminist gold stars from people who can’t define what a woman is.

It’s not bitchy to discuss stupidity. It’s stupid to create yet more nonsensical terms and boxes for things that are just women and men having a) a sexuality and b) a personality.

I mean let's be real almost everyone on the planet is non binary, I might start referring to myself as non binary actually, because I don't fit into the binary of female stereotypes, I think I have some masculine traits and some feminine traits, so I guess I am a straight non binary woman (she/her) 😜
