See you would think that your suggestion is enough , however not everybody identifies as a person these days.
I identify as a cat, wear a tail and ears each day - my boyfriend puts me on a leash and thinks it’s cute
A WOMAN who identifies as a cat says that expressing her feline identity has brought her closer to her partner and has finally enabled her to become her true self. Model Kat, 31, has been into kitt…

My idea of an offensive train announcement would be someone saying Deltics were **** locomotives

I think there is a narrative that goes that the left are too worried to offend people, they don't shoot from the hip and that this inability to talk straight means they have to tread on eggshells and make decisions against the interests of 'ordinary folk'.
It's a classic tactic from the right really and we've seen it being peddled in the past. Phenomenon such as the "Winterval" myth, "they give out housing to foreigners first" etc etc.
Its intended to scare people of change and in my view is why people like Johnson and Trump would get plaudits for saying ridiculously vile things that decent people wouldn't. They are seen as not being scared to "say it as it is"
Today I saw an edited video online of a range of Labour MPS and figures mentioning LGBTQ+ over and over and over as of it were somehow strange. They were edited to appear "woke" or seeming to be playing to appease minorities. It's just bizarre to me but sadly this kind of shyte does fly with some people and not just those who are delinquents.
I was in a WhatsApp group before lockdown from when I first moved to a new area for five a side football. A real mixed bunch of working class lads and professionals. Some of the nonsense that was posted and commented on. I ended up coming off the group when there was no five a side to arrange.
I just can't see how this doesn't affect people who are not politically engaged enough to think or read for themselves, which, let's be honest, is the majority of the public at large.
It's possible that they don't even know that it impacts them but I think it's a cert that it does.
Edit* I posted before some others posted more succinctly than I.
