29.3.18 Gender Neutral Farce

I have no issue with anyone wanting to be happy and comfortable with who they are, but I have a real issue with the English language being fucked over because people want to 'adopt' words, and through sheer willfulness, abuse language whilst daring anyone to challenge them for being out of order.

Take the misplaced assertion by some whose ambition is to declare themselves gender neutral, and insist that there is no 'he' or 'she', but instead insist on 'them'.  I refuse to refer to someone as them (a plural pronoun) or they.  Quite simply this is nonsensical - and it is nothing to do with any discrimination etc.

Sarah Montague was on the Today Programme this morning, talking to Jay Bernard.  Aside from the fact that in just three minutes, Jay used 'sort of' or 'kind of' 22 times (wtf?) I listened to Montague saying: "I know you used to be she and her, and now you're they and them".  Absolute twaddle; singular cannot be made plural on a whim.  The world is full of too much crap like this. 

LGBT is fine, LGBTQIAPK+ is rather taking the piss, and the 'they/them' bollocks is simply outrageous.
