Inclusive Language

[Inkandtatts]

Green Party members have been told to replace terms such as “mothers and fathers” with gender-neutral terminology under new guidance on inclusive language.

They have been advised to use the terms “parents and carers” when referring to a child’s mother and father and also said people should never be referred to as “elderly”.

The guide also instructs members to use the phrase “black, Asian and minority ethnic” (Bame) with caution because “many people are uncomfortable with grouping diverse experiences under a single label”.

The same applies to “homosexual” and “transsexual” – the latter because it “does not encompass non-binary people”.

“Sexual preference” is also labelled as “unacceptable” because it “implies that attraction is a choice and should be avoided”.

The terms “lunatic” and “nutter” also do not comply with the rules because they “reinforce negative stereotypes and stigma about mental health”. The guidance tells members it “widely reflects common usage in the UK”.

Are the Greens suggesting this incase another angry man in a dress repeats the above?
Or will calling it a nutter be frowned upon? How about -removed-? But as long as it doesn’t mention his male anatomy……. right!?

🤷‍♂️

Wonder if trans people will call that out. ^

PS: Will I change my vocabulary to ease another persons feelings? lol, nope.

PPS: the Green Party is worse than the OP.
Don’t poke spiders. (Unless you’ve got a ban button - one rule for me, one for thee.)

Don't fall for it @-Luka .

Don't fall for it @-Luka .

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment about the juxtaposition between the madness being put out by the Greens and Luka.

But, as always, apparently there has to be some deep conspiracy behind everything.

Pretty sure everybody would call that out.

I don’t get/understand the focus on the person being trans in the article or your comments.

If the offender had been a white non-trans 49 year old Catholic man from Glasgow, would the headline be

“White straight 49 year old Catholic male (who was male at birth) Glaswegian bit off stepdad’s ear”

…doubtful.

Did the offender being trans cause them to commit the offence? Doubtful.

Will I change my vocabulary to ease another persons feelings? lol, nope.

This video sums up my approach to those thoughts, whether it’s about gender or anything else but it seems to take a murder like that of Brianna Ghey to encourage people to follow Miriam’s example - for a while at least.

My point is trans is a mental illness.

The headline is the way it is…. because that’s what the cock in frock did. Because his family didn’t accept he is a woman (ironically, he couldn’t accept himself as a man), but that’s the agenda you lot wish to push by stating these defects are confused. No.

You don’t “get” what exactly? The focus on the person being trans is because HE committed that atrocious act because he identified as trans and hated not being pandered to.

Nobody has called it out. The only thing you call out is flip flops being Islamophobic 🤣🤣🤣

Instead of killing themselves because they can’t have a vagina, they attack others.

I will not be participating in “inclusive language” just because it fits the “Be Kind” narrative.

Nor will I engage in Taqqiya.

But since you asked if it was a white Glaswegian that committed the crime, my outlook would still be the same: he should be killed the same as that disgusting psycho.

TL;DR “menkle elf” card should never be a get out of jail free. Anybody with severe mental health in my opinion should be put down. Danger to themselves and a danger to others.

But carry on being a snowflake. People like you are an absolute disgrace to the OG GLB. And it’s people like you who vote that gays should be parents. Absolutely not.

Vermin. Blood on your hands for supporting this cancer trend.

Edit: screenshotted incase you try to manipulate anything to suit your narrative. Just like my ban extension that you’ve still not addressed but somehow managed to get Bogeyed Betty aka Sinade defending you. She’s a parasite as well so if the cap fits…

Don't fall for it @-Luka .

If it’s tongue in cheek, I won’t be banned for my response. 😉

Be u-turnin’ faster than Angela Rayner pays her stamp duty.

I've just replied to you, with an apology for the delay, and an explanation - which you're free to screenshot and share if you wish.

Okay, I hadn't read the article. I have now. I'm going to copy/paste some of it here. Seems smoking the cannabis was the cause of the behaviour, with a passing mention of resentment towards the victim about acceptance - not the whole family. Not quite as you described it really and the mental part of it is and will be argued in court that it's due to smoking cannabis which ironically alters mental state. Which actually was my point, being trans wasn't the cause of the behaviour - some heavy THC was.


Aurora Naomi La Fey, 31, was arrested in the city of Manaus, and claimed to have been suffering hallucinations after smoking cannabis.


Resentment had reportedly built up because he did not accept that La Fey was a transgender woman.

The suspect‘s mum also told police that the pair had a difficult relationship, but did not report any previous violence between them. La Fey allegedly claimed to have smoked “particularly potent” cannabis that morning, claiming it caused hallucinations later in the day.

TL;DR “menkle elf” card should never be a get out of jail free. Anybody with severe mental health in my opinion should be put down. Danger to themselves and a danger to others.

By that token, everyone with dementia/Alzheimer's should be "put down" because that's severe mental health and they are generally a danger to themselves and a danger to others. What!?

But carry on being a snowflake. People like you are an absolute disgrace to the OG GLB.

Picking up on my point to you in DM, my sexuality has nothing to do with anything in this thread.

Vermin. Blood on your hands for supporting this cancer trend.

I didn't say I supported what the Greens proposed. Exactly the opposite as you can see in my reply to Kim.

I don't have a clue what you're taking about here.

Sometimes the toxicity that comes from you is unreal and completely unnecessary. I know that a lot of the time it’s because you shoot from the hip and say things without thinking, and I don’t think most people (me included) hold it against you because, overall, you’re a decent and likeable person that's woven into the fabric of this place.

"snowflake", "woke", "disgrace", "vermin", "blood on your hands", "parasite"...I've not done anything to deserve that. I can take it but Jesus Christ, the way you behave sometimes really does cross a line. Maybe you should be feeling ashamed yourself sometimes.

That weed must’ve been laced cause weed don’t make you do crazy shït like that.

It’s the Devil’s Lettuce, I tell ya. Reefer Maddness!! 🤪

My opinions may cross the line, yes. But one thing to remember: they’re my opinion, and I’m allowed to have them.

I am not posting statuses calling for war against anyone (despite what people may think)- I see enough corruption and pandering to minorities and honestly, I’m fuckin sick of it.

Get a grip and get a life. (Not you, I’m talking about the namby pamby brigade.)

PS: Alzheimer’s and dementia no. I was talking about psychosis, schizophrenia, extreme cases of BPD etc where they are an imminent risk to others. I specifically didn’t say which ones because I knew there would be nitpicking on the mental health conditions. And I was right.

Respect your opinion, and if I had influence on a forum, I wouldn’t be chastising you for having them. I agree to disagree but before that, both sets of cards need to be on that table.

Edit: now Leigh is jumping on the bandwagon editing my screenshots to factual articles and events because it’s a 13+ forum. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 masqueraded as she doesn’t wish to offend the trans community that one of their own demons is a savage.

Just to clarify, I replied to your post as a forum user, not as a moderator offering any authoritative interpretation of the rules. Moderators are entitled to have their own opinions, too, although I often choose not to express mine publicly when they conflict with the rules.

I also wouldn't edit other people’s posts or take action against someone simply because I disagree with their views. You saw firsthand how strongly I challenged one of my predecessors over that kind of questionable behaviour.

I also edited out a lot of the copy/paste I posted because on reflection I agree the contents of that article were too much for a 13+ audience.


I’ll get back on topic before I’m accused by someone of being a hypocrite when things are moved to other threads for being off topic.

I see enough corruption and pandering to minorities and honestly, I’m fuckin sick of it.

I agree. I’ve refused to have preferred pronouns in my email signatures at work (partly because I don’t care what people call me), I skip the annual mandatory equality and diversity training, and I think it’s crazy that a pregnant woman has to go through 15 questions on a form about her gender (no exaggeration. A friend showed it to me).
