Tbh this isn't political correctness related, it's just pervy
the opening para is a work of art
This is what being married to Piers Morgan does to a person.
It’s mad how the Tories are doubling down on the culture war. They’re just plucking policies from whatever is getting the most clicks on Facebook. It’s all they have left. Depressingly, it will probably work.
The UK didn't have mandatory reporting already?!
Edit: Wait what, putting that next to collecting ethnicity data of suspects

It’s so insane. Suspects too. No crime committed. How in earth can that tell them anything useful about anything?!
Whenever you see madness like this always remember that every word had been workshopped, reviewed and signed off. Baffling.
There is already a load of mandatory reporting for adults working with children.
I honestly despair at this country.
We have no written constitution, no legal constraints on what Parliament can do, courts cannot declare laws invalid, and the government who has been in power for 13 years keeps complaining it is being stopped from improving the country.

But it's a core British value - less red tape, more monitoring and punishment.
“Hello ChatGPT, please write me a government policy to appeal to the Daily Mail crowd”
I was flabbergasted when I learned this about the UK.
They've lopped of Cerne Abbas's knob to spare people's blushes. Pretty dumb when it's the main reason the chalk giant is so well known.

Vic Irvine, was "apoplectic"!
"I'm not eating it if the packaging doesn't contain a hard on" he raged. "It's almost as if my own cock's been lopped off".
That's an understatement. With this act we've all lost our willies.
I'd never heard of this giant, it's pretty cool.
About time sensible moderates cracked down on the snowflake mob
e- for a few months in 2017 I thought left wing censorship is a real problem. Proves I'm as dumb as Rogan.

Luckily I've famously never said a kind word about Joe Rogan in my entire life.
I'm ideologically pure.
admittedly I don't pay much attention to all the gender stuff but how the feck is cis a slur nowadays?
Cis as in 'you big cissy'?
I think I'm well out of touch. This is something else, isn't it?
nah as in short for cisgender
Ahh. I've decided I'm so 2010.
Musk is a twat, but the original guy had a point.
“cis” is what it is. Never heard “cissy” before (only sissy). I guess that is an insult ?
I thought cis was pronounced "sy" for ages, just presumed the s was silent. Then I saw a video with someone pronouncing it "sis" and was like "Oh, that's how you say it?"
Probably because I only ever saw it online, I've never heard the word "cisgender" mentioned in real life.

Ive sat down and like had a beer with about 2 transgender people my entire life and i still havnt heard anyone use that word in real life.
99.99% of people have never heard it real life, but if you visit twitter, you'd get the idea cisgender is being thrown around as an insult left, right and center. It's an old strategy, if you want to ban conversation, you start by banning specific words that make the discussion impossible.
What point? Him saying that he doesn't identify as cis is like saying he doesn't identify as hetero even if he's exclusively attracted to women. Like, fine, but it's weird.
The "imagine if the roles were reversed" is even weirder, because you don't have to imagine. Just look at the comments to basically any random tweet by a trans person.
I don't really like the word and don't want to pigeonhole myself by applying terms like that to myself. I don't like that this gives me something in common with Rowling and the other TERFs, but in contrast with their rigidity, if other people want to use that to describe themselves (or even me), then I don't care.
This guy seems to want to be allowed to self define, but I'll bet he has a very different stance on someone who wishes to be referred to by pronouns that differ from his definitions of them, however.
The equivalent to this guy, or Musk, would not in fact be a trans person wanting to be referred to as the gender they identify as. It would either be a trans man insisting that he's not trans, just a man, or a trans woman insisting that she's not trans, just a woman. And that calling trans people trans is a slur.
You can find those people as well if you look enough, I suppose, but the reception they would get is way worse.
So you're telling me the bloke is actually non-binary? Fair enough I suppose.
