A sobering read from Newsweek.

As someone who has run professional training courses, getting it wrong this badly would have been my worst nightmare.

Professional trainer mistakes Pokemon symbols for gender symbols

I had to stop watching when the person started bleating that 'its 10am, it's like too early for that'.

How could they confuse the two?

I think it is easy done if you are quickly searching the web for an image

Well I can see why they got the two confused I nean one is from a made up universe the other is from a world where you can befriend strange creatures and battle

The perfect example of someone (and there are so many of these people) self identifying as an "expert" in something, when they're not.
Equalities training (in its broadest sense) is full of people like this

Sorry, what is the difference?

Unown is an extremely rare Pokémon that lives in its own dimension and rarely ventures outside

Sound familiar?

I'm sure there are some young gender activists who "gotta get em all"

Didn't Pokémon come first?

This is comedy gold. And a brilliant illustration of the sheer navel gazing nonsense being fed to our youngsters.

I wonder if they're deliberately taking the piss ?

Others joked that the Unown symbols should be used as gender identity symbols moving forward.

"Okay, I actually identify way more with those symbols tho ... she might be onto something," said a commenter.

Cultural appropriation!
