DT investigation into Civil Service HR culture. Whistleblowers have told the DT that that at meetings it was explained that personnel departments accepted the legitimate use of more than 100 genders by civil servants and they are noted on official HR documents for personnel records.
It's a half page report so too long to quote but an interesting i.e. worrying/dystopian read if anyone can archive the article. In one document seen by the DT an official was told that they were expected to spent 20 percent of their "corporate objective time" working within "corporate identity networks" - a corporate objective being defined as "a work objective that contributes to building an inclusive Civil Service". No wonder there are backlogs getting driving licences, passports etc. with all this much more vital work being done behind the scenes.....
The whole article reads as if it is an April Fool joke. But it is not funny. Woman appears to be a dirty word to be replaced by more inclusive language though a document graciously suggests it can be used where necessary to provide context, though not apparently in relation to "employees" affected by the menopause.
There is an editorial as well, gently ridiculing it.When ridiculous things happen, perhaps ridicule is a more appropriate response than anger?
By the way, the DT also reported yesterday that the Barbie doll makers are now marketing a transgender Barbie doll....
