Embrace the minefield!

For a societal problem that is alleged to be so deeply ingrained as to be nearly intractable, it’s surprising to find out that employees of the City of Winnipeg can liberate themselves in about thirty minutes.

The course provides a great overview of the importance of using gender-inclusive language and looks at how misgendering, or using the wrong pronouns, can feel and shares best practices for avoiding misgendering going forward.

  1. it really is amazing how the most useless people in society get good paying jobs turning others into useless people.

    1. Just gonna post the same sentiment. You nailed it. These are parasites that we are letting destroy all of western civilization. They have no hope (or desire) of ever being able to run a wrench, a tractor or any meaningful contribution to society. They sure AF know how to run their mouth though.

    1. I’ve decided to use ‘sh!thead’ and just not bother trying to figure out the pronouns of people who change them daily, it seems.

      How can anyone be offended? ‘Sh!thead’ is completely gender neutral and I’ll gladly point that out.

  2. I think I will use Comrade instead of pronouns. Unless they are a manager. Then I will call them Comrade Commissar.

  3. Well, that would be great if I cared an iota about “misgendering” someone. Seems to me that the trans people are the ones doing the misgendering. By the way, can I sue anyone about my grade 10 gym teacher always calling us girls?

    1. Ahhh, those were the days, Thomas.

      “C’mon, ladies. Pick it up. My grandma would leave you in the dust.”


      I don’t know what was used in the girls’ gym class. Something suitable though, I’m sure. Perhaps someone of the female persuasion can fill us in.

      1. Yep. What’s the greatest insult you can give a young girl. Women gym teachers probably said, “C’mon you cows, pick it up! A walrus could run faster than that.”

  4. Hi farce! This period (2020 – .. ?) will go down in history as a time when the Western world went mad .. if and when accurate history is restored.

    1. I’m sure our Chinese overlords will write our history to warn their people what can happen if you embrace insanity.

      Western civilization is ending, and there isn’t much I can do about it. Glad I’m old.

      1. Ditto. And they can carve this on my tombstone: ‘At least he tried’

  5. In the event that someone ever has to deal with these people, the best course of action is to have your pronouns change often enough so that they never get it right…

  6. “Best practices”….the stupid yammering of the parasitic “consultants” that haunt government.

    1. “Best practices” is a useful phrase when you’re actually doing important things, such as updating computers and software or configuring firewall rules or some-such. No it isn’t useful when useless HR consultants are messing up your work-day, hectoring you with “inclusive” BS.

  7. I despise both “best practices” and “going forward”.

    Don’t use their language…it only encourages them…

    1. That’s why I never refer to leftists as “progressives”…..the word is soft and has a positive connotation…..I simply call them what they are….Marxists.

  8. Just address them as civil servant with the emphasis on the word servant.

    1. Unfortunately most of them don’t know the difference between “serving” someone and “servicing” someone.

  9. 30 minutes and your indulgences chart is filled for the year.
    Just by checking the box.
    A goof union employee can make that “suggested 30 minutes” fill the morning..
    Or consume all afternoon for those abusing glide time…
    Hell I meant to write good,but truth by finger slippage?

    It is most important work and thus all actual responsibilities,especially to the rate payers can be put on hold,until box checking complete.

    The Party of Retribution .
    Policy #1.
    Day one..Fire 50% of all minions,using any selection method you chose..
    Day 31 Fire another 50%..

    Actually it would be most fitting to let the minions chose who gets fired,as this would preselect any competent people accidentally employed in civil service..
    These will be fired first.These might be persons to rehire..much later.
    And when you get down to the last 10%,just shoot them.
    As under self selection ,these will be the most evil parasites in the country.

    The Iron Laws of Bureaucracy are true and real.
    We are living it and paying for it.
    There is no civil way to end this.

  10. “Following completion of the course, we encourage employees who are comfortable to add their pronouns to their email signatures and business cards, and to share their pronouns when they introduce themselves at meetings. Sharing your pronouns with others can help create a welcoming and inclusive environment.”

    ________________________________________________

    Tone deaf. The vast majority of the population thinks that this pronoun dancing is absolute and utter nonsense. I’ll tell you what “sharing your pronouns with others” really does. It’s puts a big ass Scarlet Letter on your forehead that implies gullible, non-thinking, self-important, trend chasing moron. It does NOT help create a “welcoming and inclusive environment.” It does the opposite, in fact.
