Until you lose your job or get arrested for causing offense.

Gonna arrest you are fire you for saying mum and dad? Let them try and see how that goes over.

Tories are playing 4D chess. Push this shit in the knowledge that it drives people mad, people vote Tory because they think this stuff would be worse under Labour (and I expect it would be).

THey think the straights have had it good so far, now they want to replace us with transgender people being forced to be transgender in grade school.

Inclusive of everyone except 99.99% of the world

The concept of pandering a minority at the expense of the majority is bizarre and utterly illogical. The excuse of not wishing to offend the few is offensive to the many.

Typical cis white male saying we shouldn't bring up people's backgrounds.

All decent folx know all minority identities must be centred in everything all the time.

Ill have you know that I'm a Super-Straight cis white male, sex things are a protected characteristic. You better be a disabled alphabet midget to be getting away with accusations of things! 😂

"The Local Government Association told The Sun: 'Councils are committed to ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity and respect."

Even Nazis?

Tabloid, so probably not entirely true. But it does point to a tendency. What retards actually push for this?

The upper middle-class who look to entrench their positions by creating jargon which acts as a class tell.

A poor person is going to go for a good job at their local council, use the wrong words and get rejected for not being PC (or even called a racist/homophobe/etc and blacklisted). Then a nice middle-class kid with less abilities, maybe this person's kid, is going to go for the same job. They say the right words, that confirms they are a good person, so they beat the superior competition and their family keeps it's status and wealth for another generation.

It does emerge as a class signifier for sure, though probably more in using the lingo than actually identifying as (group). Postmodern manners. Nobody cares how you hold your fork anymore.

Not holding your fork properly is literally a ghosting worthy offence in this house.

That's not manners, that's differentiating between man and beast.

I, too, come from a furnished home.

It's really something that punctuates social standing.
