Who gives a fuck what the do at the Brit Awards. I didn't understand the pronoun thing, being a middle-aged middle-ish class white man, so I asked my 16 yo and she explained it. I now sort of get it and don't see why Joe Bloggs would be irritated if I wanted to be referred to as they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 My understanding is that 'they' is the 3rd personal plural so if these people don't want to be referred to as 'he' or 'she' then the 3rd person singular alternative is 'it' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit like having a male and female version of a Nobel Prize - in that it makes no sense. Next on the list for change, just for inclusivity, obviously, is the MOBO awards so white folks who are good at music and stuff can win one.

Sorry Micky, MOBO awards have had white nominees for years. Pretty sure Jess Glynne and Sam Smith have featured previously The requirement is that Music is of Black Origin - Hip Hop, Soul, Rap etc. Edit - Sam Smith won 4 in 2014 2014 Mobo Edited November 24, 2021 by Gonk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gives a genuine fuck? Gammon. Solely gammon. Let the young get on with it. The young usually are on the right side of history. Apart from the Hitler Youth (apart from my Granddad - only in it a year, then SS). It matters not a jot to most of us.

gonzo Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Spoke about this before but I know numerous trans folk as well as a variety of different folk from the LBGT community. Non of them give a flying fuck what they are labeled as or the fuckin brit awards or even pronouns. Its always people getting offended on their behalf, that offends them most. Just let everyone be and be what the fuck they want, shag who they want piss sitting down if they fancy it. Just dont try and change the fundamental science the world is built and made from. Just tailor life to how you want it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's culture wars - to fuck up the minds of good people and divide and conquer - meanwhile dipshit in chief makes us look a laughing stock mumbling about kermit and peppa pig, makes Trump look like Jefferson.
