I’m against this though because people talking like this usually push others to do the same, saying they’re oppressive if they don’t. This has led to situations like in government buildings where announcements normally start with “ladies and gentlemen, please…” now no longer can do that “because that is oppressive, abusive and exclusive”. Never mind that comedy has but completed disappeared because people have gotten scared to make a joke. Can’t risk someone feeling insulted anymore!
Now I’m starting to see more and more “people with penises” and it’s tiring.
Saying the word “man” or “woman” is fine. Even for those in the trans community because they actually wanted to be the other sex, right? Plus, we all know what is meant, nobody is trying to exclude anyone, so how about we stop trying to be so politically correct?
The rant is against people who feel slighted when they see normal language being used. If that insults you, too bad.
Ah yeah so if you’re for restricting speech, you’re against free speech. That’s just how that works. You don’t get to play language police and also pretend you’re pro-free speech.
If you transitioned to become a man, wouldn’t you want to be called just that, “man”?
Either way, this “people with penises” is the type of waking in eggshells language that makes everyone annoyed just to satisfy a few perpetually slighted. It’s perfectly fine to say “men”, everyone knows what we mean, nobody is excluding anyone and you can’t talk in ways that includes everyone because anytime you try, you’ll just end up with yet someone else who feels insulted because you didn’t include his particular interpretation of how he/she/xe/sho/is/zil/etc feels…
At one point we just need to remember nthst people typically aren’t trying to insult anyone in normal speech and er shouldn’t require and force people to our special and particular speech only or feel insulted.
You’re dedicating a lot of time and effort getting pissed off at something that doesn’t matter to you at all and I assure you that you might think you’re saying what everyone else is thinking but actually you’re just off in a corner by yourself fuming.
So, men?
Ah yeah see you knew what they meant. What’s the issue?
The overly PC language that is just annoying most people just so you a can pretend to include people when in reality you don’t.
Just talk plain English. It doesn’t insult or exclude anybody to say “men” or “women”
Are you against free speech or smth?
No.

Thanks for trying to dance around that though.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the ratio of trans women to men in the audience of this product was a lot higher than in the general population.
