Boomers & political correctness?

Discussion in 'Pandora's Box' started by nachoboomer, Sep 3, 2023.

  1. What is a (boy) TO DO? So the liquor store I go to has a young cashier with multi colored hair & a body that I can't tell IT'S sex. How about one of those old name tags that says "hello my name is xyz" but change it to "hello my sex is xyz" too easy/simple? I want to be able to address said person politely. If it has one of those names that don't help identify a gender I'm gonna :poop:. The usual terms like Dude, bro, hon don't seem to fit.

  2. Just buy your liquor and move on.
    Be polite, no need to address the person as she/he/they/them/toaster/unicorn.

  4. Never been an issue with me.

    My conversations with them basically go:
    "hows it going?"
    "good, you?"
    "good. cash or credit?"
    "credit"
    "need a receipt?"
    "nope"
    "have a good day"
    "you too"

  5. SO impersonal for someone you see often. See how easy A-holes label you for trying to be polite! IT WAS AN HONEST QUESTION, NO TROLLING! I just know eventually I'm gonna slip up & call him/her the wrong thing. I am normally extremely good at judging age/sex weight (part of my former job) this one has me stumped. :confused_2:
     
  6. All the things that don't matter......I see.

  8. If you want to chat that's fine. I think its easy to make small-talk without their gender playing a factor.

  9. Ignore the haters, they like to pick on Boomers here a lot.
     
  10. External sex parts (danglers) = MALE
    Internal sex parts (setters) = FEMALE
    No bits at all = IT.
    Period.
    I am so fucking done with it all.
    You can put lipstick and high heels on a giraffe but it is still a.......
    Life was simpler back when you didn't need a DNA printout to really know who or what you are dating.

  11. When Joe Bidens surgeon general can't even define what a woman is, America is fucked... I was in the medical field for 27 years, it was always pretty easy to define what a woman is...

  17. Just make your purchases, don't want to chance getting cancelled because you didn't acknowledge; or in this case potentially "misidentify" someone elses particular mental baggage.
     
  18. Say, "Hey dumbass"

    And if they turn and look that's on them.

    Works on anyone ;)

    Say whatever you feel, if they get offended then tell them you identify as a bigot, and if they don't allow your bigotry then they're murdering you.
