You have my sympathies. Show up wearing a dress maybe? Just to fit in.
You do shave your legs for cycling right? Should be fine.

encountered some great workplace PC goodness the other day.. and fcuk me for the first time ever I wasn't the person 'in breach'..
anyhoo - had been rocking a particularly terrible 'tache and mullet.. and there was a bit of light hearted banter about it in a team meeting. And I mean absolutely nothing at all.. a 'shit you look dodgy' type of comment.
couple of days later I get called into a meeting so a manager can apologise to me for any offence she may have caused.
I'm like WTF are you on about (total good sort who we give each other shit all the time).. and she tells me that someone on the team has called her out for offending me - and they could definitely tell that I was offended by my body language..
my response was the only time in my life I've been offended in this organisation is when someone decided to get offended on my behalf!
thing that pisses me off the most is that this manager would have been 99.99% sure that I wouldn't give a rats and found the bants funny as fuck but this pc woke bullshit going on now has meant that the .01% of doubt has now sown enough of a doubt seed to lead them to apologise just in case instead of telling this fcuktard to piss off..
Shit like this has lead to the current situation where no one opens their mouth to say anything in team meetings in case someone gets 'offended', which means the workplace is even more boring than it's ever been. So much for bringing your authentic self to the workplace. We're bloody adults, we all understand where the line is (most of the time!)
Years ago someone at work called me “Sambo”.....( my Christian name is a slightly shorter version of this )
Bo?
yep, and my best mate is Luke. My cousin is HOOOOOOTTTTTT as well.

@williethewaiter Pick a minority and fill the gap.
Identify as a trans Easter Islander vegan and claim discrimination if you don't climb the ladder.

I'm actually wondering when I'm getting my support group - as someone in a minority group who actually gets online, verbal and physical abuse threats on a daily basis..
..which of course is.. being a cyclist! ha!

So you're a white male. The most bullied group on the planet for the last few years.
Fortunately I can deal with it. I'm sure that you can too. The pricks that drag this stuff up that I am not allowed to punch annoys me.

Stop with the mysoginistic gender typical beauty stereotypes

I wouldn't worry too much ... they'll be their own downfall. Two clear examples
- Caitlyn Jenner now being a transphobe, because she doesn't believe trans woman should play woman sport. Caitlyn fucking Jenner is transphobic!!!!
- Labour voting up here in the by-election / councils. Got woke, going broke.

In today's episode.. change of location to another hotbed of PC bullshit.. school..
kids house names are Colenso, Selwyn, Patterson and another I forget. Named after the local settlers / priests or some bollicks.. all road names etc around the hood.
Anyhoo the kids come home last night and tell me they're changing the names "because they're not Maori they're racist".

Jesus, erasing history like the cultural revolution. Did they get issued with their little red books with smiling Jacinda on the cover?

Brilliant, so they are going to make them racist.

But it's reverse racist. So that's OK 👌

The irony is, if my history serves me right, that Colenso was a defender of Zulu rights.. (and Bishop Selwyn sermonized against racism ...)

So the anti racists are being replaced by people who are being chosen because of their race. You couldn't make this shit up.

or, alternatively, a school is replacing names from guys who lived 150 years ago in another part of the world with something that holds a little more local relevance. But sure, have a pile on.

Whilst I completely agree with the sentiments, on the other hand, were the people who named our towns taking the absolute piss.
For example, why would you name a town Gore, I mean friggen Gore, and ignore the Maori name Maruawai. I mean, I would visit Maruawai, I wouldn't dream of going to Gore. Fuck that!
Te Kohurau became Kurow (or Kooz to locals). FFS, what were they thinking?
Let's get rid of the shit town names in NZ! -

Historical significance rather than racially selected?
