Civil service training in Scotland

Unreal. Absolutely unreal.

Oh my good Lord. The body language of the man - pretty sure it’s a man - on the right hand side of the photo says everything we need to know.

The one in black, the one in blue, or the one in "Christ-habit"?

(For those who never read Wings because indy, this isn't indy related.)

There's insanity. Then there's this.

I can't imagine the level of delusion/narcissism that it's necessary to have to write ALL those categories (plus more).

But then again turning up to a professional training event wearing a Jesus robe made out of granny's recycled curtains is probably going to be a fair representation of that.

The definitions for "gender galaxy" and "gender gifted" are the most ridiculous/disturbing/cultlike. Oh and QUILTBAG. I'm sure my gay friends will appreciate being rebranded to sound like bedding storage 😱

Surely only very rare cases are "mistakenly assigned male at birth", considering male is a sex category.

What the actual fuck... 😲😲😲

I do not know how to comment without deletion.

The man in the light blue T-shirt. I think he’s trying not to scream given the way he’s pressing his hand against his mouth.

Absolutely horrified - this is really happening? It's unbelievable.

I think he’s trying not to scream given the way he’s pressing his hand against his mouth.

Or trying to gnaw off his own hand.

Everyone needs to allocate one trusted person to call them in the event of training like this and tell them their house is burning down.

The whole Christ habit thing is really disturbing, too. Are we actually transing Jesus, now?

I wonder if the man in blue works in HR and has just realised how busy his inbox is going to be in the next week or two.

The definition of TERF and FART sounds like it was written by a really cross, petulant 14 year old. Surely this 'guide' (or whatever it is) is just the thoughts of a particular individual and their own imaginings - how on earth is it being put forward as a serious reference guide for the Scottish Civil Service?? Someone within Government needs to answer this question. Get this out in the open 'folks'.

Am I the only one who has never heard of “FART”? And “QUILTBAG”? Good grief. Wonder why those never made it into common parlance. 🙄

I couldn’t even finish reading the piece. To think my taxes are going towards paying for that drivel…

Not for the first time, and sadly most probably not the last, I ask myself "Where the fuck are the adults???"

This sixth form wankpiffle should have been laughed at and then thrown in the nearest bin by anyone with half a brain and even just a smidge of critical thinking skills instead of being accepted without question and amplified at tax payers expense.

The absolute state of it.

It would be interesting to know how many people are being taught this, how long the training takes and what is the costs to cover wages of those having to sit and listen to this. Eg 4000 people on £30/ hour - there’s £120000 wasted salary just there.

FART

I've only really seen luminaries like Rachel McKinnon use this term. It's Beavis and Butthead level.

Haha it’s made the Telegraph.

Love the attempt at “distancing”:

”Scottish Government insiders attempted to distance the devolved administration from the document, claiming the training had not been compulsory and was run by an “informal” staff network.

However, the network is heavily promoted to civil servants on Scottish Government platforms and Leslie Evans, who was previously Ms Sturgeon’s chief mandarin, has boasted that it had helped shape internal policies and enjoys “active support from our most senior leaders”.”

That is fascinating! I didn't realise that 'female-bodied' is now part of the unacceptable language because the sex of the body is to be based on a person's gender identity! I'm still learning this new science...

So biological sex doesn't exist at all. Clownfishes, we are, some of us farting away? But do clownfishes exist, as we don't know how they identify themselves? This is confusing...

So why would we have a concept of 'gender' then? If biological sex doesn't really exist and if 'gender' can be defined as the roles, rules and stereotypes a particular culture assigns people of a particular sex, why have gender at all?

I was a civil servant for a couple of years. I can’t imagine the people I worked with tolerating this nonsense
