I'm on my break in our study and I'm being watched
Work is quiet today, after a fraught few days,and the staff have made the most of the change of pace by sitting together discussing a glossary of Trans words.
It was an interesting and informative hour all told.
We are sadly not up to speed with the more recent ways of describing the gender/sexuality world.
I hated Easter Sunday as a child btw
It was a boring day filled with too much chocolate and piss long biblical films on the BBC
I've never liked religious movies since
And have never been overly keen on chocolate either
You’re looking a bit gaunt.
ReplyDeleteI always loved Easter chocolate — purchased by my sister from the time she had her own spending money.
The older I get, the more savoury my tastes get
DeleteYour colleague looks like they've done one shift too many!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about Easter Sunday - bored and feeling sick 'cos you've eaten too much chocolate. Like you, I can't get my head around all the new gender/trans words. Seems like a minefield! Must be my age. xx
There were 100 new definitions in the glossary we were discussing
Delete100 - WOW! I remember the olden days when it was man, woman, homosexual, lesbian and the very occasional transgender. Now it seems like everyone has to label themselves into the minutiae of their sexuality. Very tiring to my way of thinking! xx
DeleteHave a pleasant day doing Easter your way. Easter chocolate always makes me a little ill as well. I am, however, looking forward to a plate filled with well-cooked veggies and tastey mashed potatoes.
ReplyDeleteOur chef made me fish with a white sauce , bloody lovely
DeleteBah Humbug, John! I made asparagus and goat cheese gratin, dyed eggs w cabbage leaves [blue result!], and this year did not dress Baby Mo up as a Bunny. So far.
ReplyDeleteSecular Easter celebrates renewal, rebirth, spppppring, hope. Best wishes to you and the fur kids.
love

Thanks lizzy
DeleteWish I didn't like chocolate!!
ReplyDeleteLol pat, happy Easter old friend x
Deleteits just not easter without
ReplyDeleteBen Hur or The robe ...lol
Ben hur …3 hours of tripe
DeleteScrooge was identified with Christmas. For Easter it's Ebenezer Gray.
ReplyDeleteIndeed..I’ve always hated it
DeleteThe Easter Hare has arrived this day John to bring us moments of joy x
ReplyDeleteI know a misery lol
DeleteYour observer let the diet go way to far!
ReplyDeleteThe PPE dissolved him
DeleteI personally think most of the new gender/sexuality terminology is nonsense. All we're basically talking about is gender dysphoria and what is the best way of treating it. That doesn't require a whole new vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteYou’ve opened a Can of worms
DeleteI agree with religious films starring a blond-haired, blue-eyed Jesus, but there was never enough chocolate.
ReplyDeleteChocolate!?? Chocolate???? WHO doesn't like chocolate???? Happy Easter John. I agree with the four categories should suffice. Maybe even two. Gay and straight. With all the new definitions pretty soon we're going to run out of the alphabet.
ReplyDeleteYes, those old movies without a Jewish looking cast really were silly.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I love chocolate, but not those hollow chocolate bunnies. Now Cadbury ... yum! I also like Jelly Belly Jellybeans.
How nice to have a relatively quiet shift.
Hugs!
You don't like chocolate? One of the only candies I don't like are licorice.
ReplyDeleteMy children kept referring to today as Zombie Jesus day. We had a wonderful time together.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that :-)
DeleteI agree with you about Easter Sunday... Ben Hur every blardy year and cheap chocolate eggs... liked them as a kid as it was the only time we got more than one chocolate item.. these days I would rather eat a block of cheese than cheap chocolate. I will however have one square of Lindt 80% cocoa chocolate once in a blue moon. Glad you had a quiet shift... don't know about all the descriptions for gender etc.. why would people need so many labels. If you know "who/what" you are why would you care what other people think?

If it widens discussion is great
DeleteEaster means absolutely nothing to me.
ReplyDeleteMe neither
DeleteI'm just sulking ... nobody bought me an Easter egg, even though hints were dropped, batted around and generally put one inch away from someone's nose.
ReplyDeleteI recorded The Ten Commandments film to watch, I remember loving it many years ago, then I noticed how long it is. Will it be watched I really don't know ... maybe if I had a chocolate egg!!
God it was long
DeleteI remember always watching those religious movies growing up. I didn't have time for any TV this Easter.
ReplyDeleteThere’s nothing on
DeleteEaster means a Sunday feast with friends and family. No church. No chocolates. A colorful fruit tart for desert. If you define your Easter to suit your preferences, you might like it.
ReplyDeleteYes, those dreaded, boring christian holydays. I've swapped them all for their pagan versions, celebrating the changing of the seasons with fun and happy get togethers and good food. Much more fun!
ReplyDeleteBefore my marriage, my father took my x aside to let him know he was never to forget my chocolate rabbit at Easter.
ReplyDeleteI so miss my parents..but life goes on and now I buy my own rabbit.
Trans words change and evolve so rapidly -- it's easy to fall behind. I'm sure I'm not up to date either.
