James Gant in MoS - Genderbread in Whitehall

[BoreOfWhabylon]

James Gant brought us the 'Troll GP' article last week and seems to be on a roll

Thanks if you're reading, James

As an adult, I can't imagine sitting in a room in a professional setting watching someone (who I know is being paid a not insignificant amount of public money) use this graphic to explain what 'sex' and 'gender' mean.

In a way, I'd have to admire them for their grift.

I had a boss who was made to see a consultancy that was supposed to train him how to motivate his team, how to sell the organisation... all about PR and business reputation - basically a consultancy telling him how to do his job.

I sat in on one session and it was all a load of hot air and completely impractical for our business. I think their boss was a pal of our Big Boss.

My boss stuck it out for the minimum 3 sessions and couldn’t talk it any more.

He stood up and said ‘let’s go!’. He then walked them to the front door and said to the security guard ‘Hi Phil. See these two guys here? Never ever allow them into the building again.’

He’d had done the same with the rainbow biscuit crew.

Bosky - reminds me of my wedding. There we all were, dressed like princesses. The ground was muddy, we were in king dressed and heels and sinking...

A the very annoying photographer was leaping around ‘happy happy!’ ‘Happy happy!’ And acting like he was trying to get a small child to smile in a shopping mall photo boutique.

We were all smiling sweetly but my uncle was filming from behind...

I wish he’d shut the f up
What is wrong with that bloody man?
Take the effing picture before that camera goes somewhere you won’t be able to reach it
I need a bloody drink (one sister wandered off and returned with a bottle cold champagne)
I’m going to punch him on the nose if he doesn’t just stop it...
Lots of swears etc.

My mum was howling when she saw it.

Great article.

God you'd think by now there would be some resistance to having to attend these courses. You get the sense that it is a load of zombie brain-washed civil servants just sitting there nodding along. But some of them must be resisting this nonsense surely.

[quote Rightsraptor]@PaleGreenGhost: I know! It's astonishing. How do they keep quiet? I long to hear someone stood up and said 'what a crock of shite. I'm going back to my office'.

But then I've always wanted to be at a wedding when the couple are asked if they know of any lawful impediment to their marriage & someone shouts 'stop! He's already married!' Happens all the time in films. Never at the weddings I've been at.

Still hopeful though.[/quote]
Presumably at the end of these (indoctrination) sessions, staff are given a feedback questionnaire. If you are too scared to openly challenge their nonsense during the session, surely that would be a good time to rate them: e.g. content 1 out of 10 or similar?

@Bosky - oops, I think I may be derailing the thread a bit.

@hardtobelieve - I've been on so many courses where we've all been complaining in the privacy of the pub or our bedrooms, but when the questionnaire comes round at the end - all is wonderful! Amazing course, terrific trainer!

I did it myself a couple of weeks ago.

@Rightsraptor

Are they seriously trotting that Teddy bear thing around meetings with adults in work settings? It's so childish. Insulting as well as rubbish.

I do agree that sexual attraction is on a scale of 0-100 though. 100 being when you can't wait to rip someone's clothes off and 0 being when you can't wait to escape from some pronoun-touting, self-obsessed wanker.
