Morphine Prince 109,692 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 London (CNN) - The London Underground is on track to provide an inclusive service to subway passengers by adopting gender-neutral announcements. Transport for London (TfL), the government body responsible for the Tube, said their employees will soon begin using good morning or good afternoon "everyone" as an alternative to phrases such as "ladies and gentleman." Mark Evers, director of customer strategy for TfL, said the initiative was a new effort to make all passengers feel welcome on the underground rail network in the UK's capital. "We have reviewed the language that we use in announcements and elsewhere and will make sure that it is fully inclusive, reflecting the great diversity of London," Evers said in a statement Thursday.

Letmelivemylife 8,715 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 So awsome ♥️ Just because someone was born with a vagina/penis doesn't mean that they identify 100% with that gender. I do try to make a concious effort to use gender neutral pronouns (Babe,Hun, etc) when I'm not sure how someone identifies I love you monsters. I'd be unfixably broken without you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually just ask for their name and call them that. Or just say "how are you doing today?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats just her personality I use sis and hun in gender neutral ways to everyone, with the added bonus of ocassionally pissing off straight men that wont accept that they are equally as valid as "bro and dude" 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And babe just sounds WAY too personal. Id be taken much more aback if people said those to me than my assumed gender tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

codymonster 8,898 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I still think this whole gender thing is getting insanely out of hand, but I do understand that it does make some people feel more comfortable, which is good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
