philmayfield 6,089 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 The Council are looking for potentially offensive street names in Nottingham now. I can’t think of any offhand but it will be an interesting challenge to look for them. You’ve only got to come out into the county to be offended by Blidworth Bottoms Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,424 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I remember in the mid nineties reading a magazine article (in Canada) that said that political correctness would destroy the nation. I remember thinking, that's a bit extreme. Now I think we were both wrong. It's destroying western civilization. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,379 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Thinking about the PC brigade, Facebook(I'm told I don't have an account), now have a drop down list of gender options. It was 58 and is now 72 titles long. Here's the first 15 :- Agender Androgyne Androgynous Bigender Cis Cisgender Cis Female Cis Male Cis Man Cis Woman Cisgender Female Cisgender Male Cisgender Man Cisgender Woman I have no idea what most of that means. I also think Bigender should be hyphenated. Bi-gender Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You know what happens when you Google any subject.....you immediately get dozens of adverts and links to subjects which Google thinks will interest you, based on your search.

Stuart.C 483 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 To save some Googling; I only became aware of the "Cis" group in the week as it was mentioned on T.V and had to be explained to the interviewer by the interviewee The term hasn't been around for that long. Cis... means you identify now exactly how you were born i.e Male or Female, Man or Woman, or as might have been described, Normal. Cis came about to (try to) stop the use of Normal, which could imply that other groups or descriptions are or maybe "Not normal". Whoever came up with the idea seems to have forgotten to tell the persons previously described as normal about it as very few seem to know about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
