Woke to you as well
No doubt in UK you have such people as well as us here inOz.
They want to change it all so that there is no identity of gender, class or any other part of life they do not like.
No more man or woman, just person no more mother of father, just gestational or non gestational parents.
But the latest just goes too far by any stretch of the imagination.
There is a prayer used across the world by so many nations of Christain belief, from the teachings in the Bible,
"The Lords Prayer with the opening line of
"Our Father who art in Heaven:"
But no, that is gender specific and must be changed to
"Our parents who """"""
Enough already with these creeps because that is all they are.
This latest bit from them is the biggest insult they have ever considered, but of course they forget one small point. for some using their version their parents may well still be alive!!!!!!!!!!


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Woke to you as well
I don't know what the word "woke" means and don't want to know. It is amazing how someone, somewhere says a word or phrase and it spreads around the world. At one time only photographers used the word "focus" now everyone is 110% focused.
As a boy "gear" meant good, "made up" was happy. There must be many other examples but my tired old brain can't think of them. I must be "knackered".

Re: Woke to you as well
Made me laugh, they changed the name of some song contest here so that it became "non binary" or something. Then, it was only blokes that won it, so now they want to change it back.
That one woked didn't it

Think it was the Brit awards, some it won 4 awards. This it did have the tackle still intact. Maybe he/IT only had the one testical as it could certainly hit the high notes.

Re: Woke to you as well
It goes against all that is woke, and comes from them as well
"We don't want peoples sexes mentioned, but we do want some women to win as well as men"

What I was always amazed at, was that all those girls, wherever I went in the world, always knew my name, especially the non English speaking places. It's just amazing isn't it.

Must have been Brummies, like the two brum girls walking along the promenade in Blackpool, stopped by a photographer. "Stand still Vera, he's going to focus" "What? both on we?" says Vera.
