Ginger non-gender specific person biscuit.

longwayoff · 25/10/2018 22:51

Sputnik, yours are gender fluid gingerpersons

OwlinaTree · 25/10/2018 22:55

Run, run, I am certain...
You can't catch me I'm the gingerbread person.

OwlinaTree · 25/10/2018 22:55

That rhymes.Grin

Gileswithachainsaw · 25/10/2018 22:57

But it's ok to assign a spice?

SilentIsla · 25/10/2018 23:04

Not nutmeg. Obv.

KurriKurri · 25/10/2018 23:10

They shouldn't be called any kind of person or people - they are gingerbreads, - not a known human life form, but a biscuit creature. They are also sexless as they don't have genitalia, except in weird bakeries.

Run run as fast as you can,
you can't catch me
I'm an asexual patisserie concept.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 25/10/2018 23:16

Ours has gingerbread shapes and sometimes people dinosaurs Xmas trees rabbits etc is fine

Also agree wasn't this pc gawn mad in 90s?

Iftheresawilltheresaway · 25/10/2018 23:19

I can't stand the way everything is policed. Gingermen are being changed now. Drives me mad. I'm female and a mother but apparently now expectant women are to be expectant people. We have to have unisex toilets and changing rooms. Women should be allowed to be called mother's not persons because like it or not only women can give birth. Women have monthly needs and should be comfortable using toilets for women only not having to share with those who identify but have not changed. It seems if you are standard male or female you have no rights to identify as that. Everything is racist. Discriminatory etc. What next. Female dogs are no longer bitches or cats felines

Oh no! Wherever will men and boys get their male representation from now?

Action Men/Ken & Paul.

Eg no balls.

MidnightAura · 25/10/2018 23:24

Think it’s ridiculous.

But then in a pc game the snow men in game are called snow pals so make of that what will.

TheWiseWomansFear · 25/10/2018 23:25

Jesus, better tell my ginger DP that he is missing some smarties.

I think, they should be gingerbread people if they want but ginger persons are actual humans...

64ChewsBrains · 25/10/2018 23:26

Lol at “gingerfluid”

Aside from "pc gone mad" argument, the term ginger persons has really tickled me.
They look like rubbish gingerbread persons though.

FrighteningMurderClown · 25/10/2018 23:49

Smartie buttons, piped icing mouth and cuffs are the victims of shrinkflation Haloween Sad

Soulless. And genderless.

I'd have to buy an eclair instead.

RaininSummer · 25/10/2018 23:58

I always make gingerbread men at Christmas. I will make ginger gender neutral persons this year to make a point I think. I will also cut the tops of their heads off to show how their brains fell out.

Witchend · 26/10/2018 01:23

We had gingerbread teddies.

SomethingOnce · 26/10/2018 02:42

What pronouns do they use?

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 26/10/2018 02:54

The world has truly gone fucking mad

OzzyMadBat · 26/10/2018 03:26
Aintnothingbutaheartache · 26/10/2018 03:36

Very cool Ozzy 😂
Isn’t that the whole point tho?

pinkstripeycat · 26/10/2018 03:39

Funnily enough we were in this baker during a trip to York this week. I just chuckled to myself as I heard my son ask for a gingerbread person. I then asked to pay for the gingerbread man and thought no more about it until I saw in the paper someone had taken a pic. This bakery is the cheapest and best I have EVER been to

MarcieBluebell · 26/10/2018 03:40

Where are their mouths though?
