  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”

    What’s not plain English about “people with a penis”?

    Is the word “people” too difficult for you?

      Or you can stop playing dumb, of course.

      Nobody talks like this but a very small and very select little group of people that can’t stop congratulating eachother for being so politically correct.

        Who’s playing dumb?

        You knew what the speaker meant and challenged their use of language.

        I’m asking what’s unclear about the term “people with a penis” and you’re getting riled up.

        Are you ok?

    Are you against free speech or smth?

      No.

      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.

        Thanks for trying to dance around that though.
