Interesting that Elton did this. Would you guess it’s a slip up, or Elton being straightforward.

Blimey you don’t see Rod Stewart fans kicking off every time Elton refers to Rod as ‘She’ do you? Guess they’re just a bit more relaxed...

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 30/03/2020 18:19

Good point Judas. I think that takes a strong sense of self awareness and a good sense humour though, which although Rod Stewart seems to have in spades, SS is clearly lacking.

Excellent post ronniebarkingmad I've screenshotted it because, you know, 1984 and everything being weird these days.

Beard, Bluehair and Anime, the latest glittery Usborne title, premiering in Libraries and schools around the country, read by Sparkly McHunt, a Drag Queen who requests no one look too closely at his Twitter feed before bringing their kids along.

Marvel at the adventures of three plucky ciphers, as they learn that tantrums, nail polish and eyeliner can create a magical forceful to keep reality from getting too close...

I liked it better when I didn’t know who you were.

And so beautifully non- specific for recycling. I'm going to use that one often.

"Stop picking on us", possibly?

Hmm, interesting- how far does one persist with plural pronouns?

(I'm rather fond of "one" and will shoehorn it in when possible)

The article that expressed outrage that Sam Smith was misgendered by Elton John - and then referred to him with male pronouns - has now been amended so the pronouns are they and them

DidoLamenting - so when SS meets their soulmate ‘so when did did you realise that Sam was the, errr, two/several/many...?’

BruceAndNosh · 31/03/2020 10:53

I think Sam IS Sam's soulmate.

Lordfrontpaw · 31/03/2020 10:54

Oh like those people who marry themselves?

MrsSteveMcDonald · 31/03/2020 11:12

Yep, I guess he's one of those blokes that wanks at himself in the mirror (SS that is, not Elton)
