I'd imagine anyone genuinely struggling with their personal identity probably isn't too concerned about the gender of fictitious characters.
That aside, "mother" isn't a gender so Mother Nature (who, as a total aside, seems to be doing a very good job of replacing that other imaginary source of life - God - in common belief systems) can quite happily be any gender she wants.

I do find it all rather sad. I was reading the other thread. I’ve spent my life saying to my kids things like say thank you to the lady etc. If someone were to take offence at that it wouldn’t go down very well with me I’m afraid. I totally get the offence if people do it on purpose and I’m sure people would get it wrong just to be spiteful and ignorant but people who wish to be referred to as something that hasn’t ever been the norm in our lifetime need to accept that people are innocently going to make mistakes. If I knew someone was non-binary I would make a conscious effort to refer to them as they, of course I would but it isn’t going to come naturally to a lot of people x |

That should have said "can be any gender they want"

Do they?! I thought they/them was the correct term. This is what I mean! It’s ridiculous. People just won’t bother anymore. Everyone will be walking around with their heads down. |

"God forbid when these people travel to Europe and speak the native languages as everything is described as either masculine or feminine.
Have those 2 words not been banned yet?"
I’m sure they will try to cancel them. |

I suppose that I come under the 'transgender' category and I love being treated like a woman, especially by my lovely women friends, but rather unfashionably I don't believe that anyone can actually change biological sex; gender is perhaps usefully vague but really just means masculine or feminine, not male or female. Sadly I can't get physically altered to resemble a real woman because of my age and ill health, but even if I could it would not change my genetic sex, however good an imitation woman I became.
It is great being treated as an honorary woman, and I love being like this, but a lot of the screeching abusive word-twisting 'transactivists' seem to be misogynistic and are anything but feminine. I fear that their vicious, aggressive, irrational behaviour will actually backfire against those of us who love and respect real women.
I hate the 'pronoun fascists'; I really don't mind being referred to as he or she but would find 'it' a bit rude!
I find that most people are usually very kind and accepting, more than I had expected, but people shouldn't be bullied into telling lies, and the whole trans women in women's sports or prisons thing appals me.
I do worry about upsetting or offending women, or confusing or upsetting small children, and do my best not to (although I loved meeting a woman friend's little girls and they were quite happy and OK). |

I think most children are to be honest. My daughter’s friend’s father is trans and I expected a few questions. I got none. Only time she says anything is when I say blah blah’s mum and dad accidentally and she says mum she hasn’t got a dad she has two mums! |

It’ll be a nightmare for the French where everything including the tables and chairs are gender assigned  |

"Manchester can't become Chester as that is elsewhere"
Manchester has already had its gender changed. The original name for the settlement was Mamucium, where "Mam" was derived from mammary, because of a local hill having a breast-like shape. The name translates literally as "Titty Town". |

Yes; sadly we haven't got any children but the woman friend happens to be a lesbian so the girls were used to 'non-traditional' families/people, but I think that you are right and that children tend to be more matter of fact about such things than adults. |

Exactly. This is why I think patience is needed. Most kids are being brought up in the world as it is now. The rest of us are having to adapt more so mistakes are going to be made unintentionally. I had it all in my head what I was going to say etc but no questions at all so I just left it. Which to be honest made me glad that she thought nothing of it x  |

I totally get the offence if people do it on purpose and I’m sure people would get it wrong just to be spiteful and ignorant but people who wish to be referred to as something that hasn’t ever been the norm in our lifetime need to accept that people are innocently going to make mistakes. If I knew someone was non-binary I would make a conscious effort to refer to them as they, of course I would but it isn’t going to come naturally to a lot of people x
Some even take offence at being called "they"...can't do right for doing wrong! x
Do they?! I thought they/them was the correct term. This is what I mean! It’s ridiculous. People just won’t bother anymore. Everyone will be walking around with their heads down.
I've heard some say "I'm not a they...I'm such and such" At the end of the day, I don't care what they call themselves as its not my business....apart from when someone says they identify as a tree or such like! I know some will have a go at the comment but seriously!
Yeah I can’t get on board with identifying as a lamp or a dog etc. That’s just attention seeking bollocks.
Sorry but I chuckled at this "
Me too |

"In the non binary world Mother Nature is now simply nature and Jack Frost has had gender reassignment - Jackie Frost. So they say..
Where have you seen this or is this a click bait thread? "
Absolutely click bait |

"I do find it all rather sad. I was reading the other thread. I’ve spent my life saying to my kids things like say thank you to the lady etc. If someone were to take offence at that it wouldn’t go down very well with me I’m afraid.

"This thread is just antagonistic
Yup, but another great filter thread 
Works both ways. But seriously? It’s just a joke.
"
Its a topic that is getting quite some airtime on the forums. To you its a joke, but a bit disingenuous to not at least acknowledge the possibility that some may see it as antagonistic.
I do remember the its just a joke defence used in the 80s over some stuff that would be seen as universally unacceptable today.
I am not offended BTW, but am finding gender vs non gender threads getting a bit stale now. |

I was actually reacting to the weather and a late frost. So not sitting here plotting, scheming…
Tiresome is also hysteria every time a person makes a pub level comment. Bore bore bore. Now back to pineapple on pizza.

It`s raining people, hallelujah, it`s raining people, ampeople.
I`m going to go out to run and let myself get absolutely soaping wet.
It`s raining people, hallelujah, It`s raining people, every species.
Tall, blonde, dark, lean and non-binary.
Rough and tough and strong and mean and respectful |
