Re: Don't call pupils girls...says girls school! PC gone MAD?!

I mentioned this here a while ago but no-one responded. I agree it's political correctness gone mad. What about the girls in the school are they not allowed to celebrate being female? After all it is a girls school.

Thank you for all your posts comments, and I see that everybody agrees that the country is going Mad in respect of this PC rubbish.
Gotta log off now at 11.40am Thursday morning 11th January 2018.

But before I go.
Please may I say to you all.

Good night Girls.
Good night Boys.
Good night Transgenders.
Good night anything in between.
Oh! I nearly forgot.
Good Night any PC Aliens who just might be pouring over this thread.
Please don't Zap me whatever you are.
How many different sexes are you then?
Now see you've upset me, there could well be some confused people who are not sure what they are and you left them out

Re: Don't call pupils girls...says girls school! PC gone MAD?!

When, l worked with three other women in an office, one of them referred to the rest of us as ‘the girls’.

It didn’t bother me but one of our other colleagues (an ex teacher) hated it and asked her to stop referring to us as the ‘girls’!

Re: Don't call pupils girls...says girls school! PC gone MAD?!

I have a question being one of the few from Canada on here.

Once I made a post and mentioned going out for a walk with my "girlfriend" and someone remarked that I was a lesbian as "girlfriend" is the term lesbians use to define themselves.

I am a straight female and was puzzled and asked for clarification as over here we refer to our female friends as "girlfriends"

Was I being put on? Have to be careful with translations.

I am so upset that I have upset you Summer that I now need to book into a none specific care and rest home for rehabilitation who will welcome all confused none specific genres.

Do you think they will be interested in whether I have a Willy or not?.
There.
You see.
That's another little problem for them to sort out!

I think you were being teased Maple. We say girlfriends just like any other country.

Gosh I hope I don't upset people at work, I always refer to the females as the girls or the ladies, how are my ladies today etc, and the men are gentlemen or the boys depending on their ages and seniority. Can't imagine calling the boss a boy
