Hey there, party people! 🎉 Buckle up, because we’ve got some seriously eyebrow-raising news in the world of gender lingo. So, get this: a panel of people who probably use emojis like pros has officially declared that calling a trans woman a “w*er” is a big no-no in the discrimination department. 🚫 Yeah, you heard that right – it’s not just about being rude; it’s about being, like, officially uncool.
Now, before you go thinking, “Wait, Amy, isn’t that word usually aimed at guys?” Ding ding ding! You’re absolutely right! That’s the point. This sassy little insult is typically flung at the dudes. But the employment tribunal is like, “Hold up, wait a minute!” 🤨 They’re waving the gender-equality flag and saying, “Hey, let’s not forget about our trans pals.”
So, here’s the scoop: Trans woman extraordinaire, Amanda Fischer, decided she’d had enough of being called that not-so-friendly term by a fellow employee at London United in Hounslow. 🚌 I mean, who can blame her? Nobody wants to be labeled like a can of expired soup, right?
The tribunal panel, rocking their judge robes, was like, “You know what, Amanda, you’ve got a point!” 💁♀️ They dropped some knowledge bombs, saying that tossing this insult at someone who’s transitioned is basically like flinging a gender-equality pie in their face. And nobody likes pie in the face, except maybe clowns, but that’s a whole different story.
Oh, and here’s where it gets chef’s kiss interesting: The panel’s brilliant idea to prevent discrimination is to use female-specific slurs instead. 🙅♀️ Because nothing says “equality” like trading one inappropriate word for another, right? It’s like trying to balance a seesaw by stacking pancakes on one side – totally logical.
Now, let’s talk about the “Oh no, he didn’t!” moment. Another employee apparently decided it was totally acceptable to call Amanda the forbidden word and then, get this, “push” her arm with his shoulder. I mean, what is this, middle school? 🏫 Newsflash, buddy – shoulder-shoving isn’t the way to make friends.
Amanda didn’t take this busload of baloney lying down, though. She was like, “Hold up, I’m not here for this nonsense!” And I’m guessing the dude was probably like, “Oops, my bad.” But the judge was like, “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let’s slow our roll.” 🚍 Turns out, the tribunal in Croydon – that’s like the Wimbledon of legal showdowns – ruled that the incident didn’t even go down. Like, it never even happened, folks!
But hold onto your comedy hats, because Judge Kathryn Ramsden dropped the mic with this gem: “The tribunal does not consider the insult ‘w*er’ to be a gender-neutral term.” 🎤 And she’s right, you know! That word’s got a “For Guys Only” sign hanging over it.
And guess what? There are whole different words crafted for us gals that do the job just fine. So, next time you’re tempted to throw around an insult, remember – there’s a whole dictionary out there, waiting to give you a lesson in creative cursing. 😉 Stay classy, folks!Hey there, party people! 🎉 Buckle up, because we’ve got some seriously eyebrow-raising news in the world of gender lingo.
