Why don’t they just give us all a Number? They are non-gender, non-sexual, non-ageist , just 100% Inhuman.
Enough of this nonsense. I am proud to call my self a Male, tobe Homosexual, tobe a right bastard when I feel like it. I am not aqshamed of being the age I am now (82). My lesbian sister feels exactly the same way, she doesn’t even care if she is addressed as Miss, Ms. or Mrs. Just address her by her given name and that is enough identify her gender.
This is Political Correctness gone stark, raving bloody mad.

Gasp!
The government *pro-actively* recognising and recommending something positive for the Rainbow Community, *and* taking note of anyone else who is not only heternormative / white only / etc?
????…there’s hope for our government yet…????????
I have mobility problems as a permanent side-effect of needing chemotherapy in the past, yet I can’t see the problem of ‘disabled person’ vs ‘person with disability’ …if I get called either, I don’t mind; all I hope is that I get treated with equal respect, as either can be said by someone else as just a recognition that I have a mobility problem, or said with and intent of being derigitory. If nothing else though, I feel that the latter term is positive, and recognises that I am not defined by my disability – just like “yes, I’m a gay man, but that doesn’t define me” or “I have grey hair, but that doesn’t define me” or “I get very dry skin in winter, but that doesn’t define me”.
