Gender pronouns making a mockery of us all
THE Halifax bank’s adoption of preferred pronoun name badges (Mail) and its attitude of accept these or take your account elsewhere is typical of the way in which small minority groups are changing Britain for the worse. Thankfully I don’t deal with Halifax, but to enter a shop or bank to be greeted by someone whose name badge denotes their choice of gender is ridiculous. The ‘woke’ minority are making a laughing stock of Britain. Personally I couldn’t care less how people identify themselves, as long as it doesn’t infringe on other sensible people’s lives. But must we accept it if they next decide to identify as cats, dogs or aliens? Regrettably, the silent majority remain silent and just shrug their shoulders at each new madness.

I DON’T care whether Halifax staff are male, female, transgender or whatever. I just want them to help me with my inquiry politely and efficiently. People don’t need pronoun labels, just names.

IN LAST Thursday’s Mail TV guide, my eye was drawn to the listing for First Dates, at 10pm on Channel 4, a Pride special looking back at some of the LGBTQIA+ couples who ‘followed the rainbow’. We are in danger of exhausting the alphabet to identify groups in terms of sexuality. Only another 19 letters to go.

SO AS not to offend, upset or confuse anyone, I will end this communication by giving only my initials.
