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....

One senior civil servant from the Department for International Trade, who declined to be named, claimed they were only promoted after they began wearing a “non binary” lanyard, which is black, purple, white and yellow.

According to one appraisal document, seen by The Telegraph, an official was told they were expected to spend 20 per cent of their “corporate objective” time working within “corporate identity networks”. According to a source, a corporate objective is defined as a “work objective that contributes to building an inclusive Civil Service”.

The official was told to spend five per cent of their corporate objective time participating in a “non-binary” network which included attending a “gender non-conforming book club” and celebrating “Non-Binary Awareness Week”. The official told The Telegraph: “I was hired to do trade policy and yet the taxpayer pays me to waste 20 per cent of my corporate work time on this crap.”

I, for one, am delighted that as we move ahead from a global pandemic, accommodate the new world of trade and regulation post-Brexit, and stare down multifactorial inflation with its fellow travelling financial consequences, plus a near collapse of the NHS and legal services, there is nothing more pressing that might be engaging the brains, stamina, and efforts of senior civil servants.

I started a thread but will ask for it to be deleted. Someone's linked to the whole thing (archived) here:

Thanks ResisterRex. Sorry, looked for a thread but missed it. Getting blind in my old age!

Are they able to define all hundred?

What are the characteristics ?

SamphirethePogoingStickerist · 28/05/2022 11:32

Erm.. nope! No words! Gobsmacked.

No problem, just requested a deletion on the other one. I'd said...

Close observers of the Stonewall definition of "trans" seems to have made its way into the departments running this country:

"A second document lists 12 separate identities in a network for transgender and intersex staff called a:gender. The group, which exists across the entirety of Whitehall, is open to members who self-identify as transgender, transsexual, non-binary, gender fluid, genderqueer, gender variant, cross-dresser, genderless, third gender or bigender, and intersex. The document stresses that the list is not exhaustive."

Seems it's the route to promotion:

"I was hired to do trade policy and yet the taxpayer pays me to waste 20 per cent of my corporate work time on this crap.”

Dear God. Making the civil service an inclusive place, for, among other batshittery, cross dressers. Our civil servants are completely upfront about spending 20% of their day making their workplace inclusive of men with fetishes. Or, judging by this whistleblower, forcing the people in their work place to accept this batshit, is probably a more accurate description.

How is this happening?!!!

puffyisgood · 28/05/2022 12:45

say 40 or 50 I could understand, but 100 does seem rather excessive.

Just thought I'd drop in this DM story. There's definitely nothing else that should be occupying the minds of senior civil servants, nothing at all.

Those ringing Government phone lines are waiting on hold for as long as two hours at a time to speak to someone who can help them with basic requests.

One NHS radiographer had to take four days of annual leave and spend a combined 20 hours on hold to confirm that his payment to HM Revenue and Customs had been received.

Indeed, but as we know the civil service along with almost everything else is captured by critical theories of which genderism is just one part.

That means that more and more time is spent on activism and its busywork instead of doing the things the institution/service was set up to do, such as the examples quoted above.

What a waste of time and money - that's before you get to them playing their part in foisting this pseudo reality onto the rest of us.

Have they not got any work to do? I assume they are paying six figures for a D&I manager to oversee all this claptrap (as the big law and professional services forms are).
