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

So what another absolute load of tosh thought up by the Politically Correct crowd.
Stupid ruddy reeders!!

But what say YOU?!

https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/90...al-transgender

Grammar school bans teachers calling pupils 'girls' to not offend transgender children.
TEACHERS at a leading all-female school have been ordered not to refer to its pupils as girls.

One parent, who asked not to be named, said: “When I opened the letter I wasn’t sure if it was a joke or not.
“We are not even sure how many girls there are having issues with their gender, it could be there’s none.
“It all seems a bit potty to me, they are talking about diversity but it’s a girls-only school.
How does that work?”

I read that too, Boozy.
I'm fed up with it all.
Flippin' world's gone mad, and I suspect this is only the beginning.

It´s absolutely ridiculous. Soon it will be illegal to say "boys and girls", "men and women", "ladies and gentlemen". How will we refer to our grandchildren? Will we be saying "this is my grandgender? What a stupid and ridiculous world it´s becoming.

I read something similar a day or so ago .....

Soldiers told not to say 'Sir' anymore when on the phone to their CO to avoid any gender issue mix ups.

The parents should stick together and remove their GIRLS from the school. Or burn it down, one or the other.
