"anti discrimination commissioner who would drag you off to a re-education camp, or a public school, but I repeat myself."
You sure know how to cover all bases. Yes many schools are re-education, indoctrination or propaganda camps.
These people will never cease from finding something to winge about even when they are the cause of the problem. I say fix it yourself if you don't want our help. We don't need your business and we don't need your litigation over pronouns when you can't even get your grammar right.
War, drought and fires in Europe and all these precious ones can worry about is letting a real man in to do repairs. They should be so lucky and in any case, they are usually proficient, polite and professional.
If I was really concerned about a man doing work on the house (and that really is a valid point, considering some people's experiences have caused trauma) ...hiring someone who belongs in the psych ward is probably not my next best option. A capable woman with her head screwed on is probably the way to go. Just sayin.
Fantastic, James. Gender is not an issue when it comes to quality of workmanship so this discriminatory practise to put people at ease by replacing workers with people who deny reality is confusing. I'm not sure how this will all go when they're looking at using male and female electrical connectors? (In some instances they did end up changing the terminology to plugs and sockets but it's pretty clear where the analogy comes from). I just wonder what will happen when you plug in a cable and it wants to change gender and identify as the opposite of what it really is. Two male plugs wired on a 240 volt lead is quite dangerous. 💥
So does this discriminating against men include discriminating against gays who last time I checked were men. And the last bit . we can help you “take over the world” Aha, their evil clandestine plot is at last revealed.As one great man said “Go ahead punk, make my day.”
To be fair & only to those type of people who think the rest of us are unfair to them, which is totally unfair to everybody else but I digress, I thought I'd give it/whatever a shot ( not that one, silly) It/whatever was an inexperienced handythingy & I asked it/ whatever to paint the outside door of my garage whilst I was out shopping.
Well, when I came back the handythingy was still slogging away but was wearing two heavy parkas & it was a really hot summer's day.
Thinking this was a little strange, I asked the handythingy why it/ whatever was wearing the parkas on such a hot day.
The handythingy showed me the instructions on the can of paint. “For best results, put on two coats."
About to send this to my son-in -law. He’s a building supervisor. The boys(!) will love seeing this over smoko tomorrow. BTW, how much slower will the chatty, smiley gender-benders be compared with strong experienced savvy male tradies? Likely not faster…
All we can do is laugh at how ridiculous it all is. My fav. quote in your story
‘if you need a handyman, but don’t feel comfortable with handymen, you can now hire a handyman who identifies as a handywoman so you can pretend you’re not alone with a handyman.! Priceless 🤣

"I need a light installed in my living room, not a Pride parade through the house." LOL.

Yeah it's funny isn't it. You just hope non binary handy people are aware of male and female plugs!
Oh dear. Life just gets more absurd.
It never ends!!
Life gets funnier by the day!
It's the sole consolation for having to live through the end of the world ... how damn funny the whole thing is.

The 'we will take over the world' was definitely weird. You're changing a light bulb!
They speak English in Berlin? That's discrimination against the German language.
The last person I'd want working on the wiring at my place is someone who's abandoned the binary nature of male and female sockets.
And... "'drag' you off to a re-education camp"... we see what you did there.

The two coats gag! lol
So much material, so little time James.
That is really funny. I love it!

Hey James,
All we can do is laugh at how ridiculous it all is. My fav. quote in your story
‘if you need a handyman, but don’t feel comfortable with handymen, you can now hire a handyman who identifies as a handywoman so you can pretend you’re not alone with a handyman.! Priceless 🤣
Sheer brilliance from James
Some of this stuff just writes itself.
