Well, it turns out man-spreading is not the most pressing threat facing the New York City subway system after all.
And neither are the trains that break down in the underbelly of the city leaving passengers stranded for hours with a continuously playing pan flute ensemble.
Nor is the most pressing issue roaming gangs of street thugs or perverts manhandling women or homeless people urinating on seats or giant rats prowling subway stations.
No, ladies and gentlemen – the greatest threat facing the Big Apple’s subway system is train conductors using the words “ladies and gentlemen.”
The New York Post reports the Metropolitan Transit Authority has ordered all subway personnel to refrain from addressing riders as “ladies and gentlemen.”
Instead, staffers have been told they must use gender-neutral words like riders, passengers, and everyone according to a memorandum obtained exclusively by the Post.
“Please don’t use any greeting other than these,” the memo reads.
Subway workers say political correctness has derailed the nation’s largest subway system.
“They are trying to be politically correct,” one worker told the Post. “They are acknowledging that they have some transgender riders. They don’t want to offend anyone.”
An MTA spokesperson told the Post that gender issues were a consideration for the move.
I suspect it was a preemptive strike by the MTA to avoid some sort of legal action taken by the LGBTQI and the letter A community.
Heaven help the poor cis-gender train conductor who inadvertently mis-genders a gender-fluid passenger.
Gender fluidity, by the way, is the latest fad in the sex and gender revolution. Followers ascribe to a belief that there’s really no such thing as male or female.
For example, you could be a male passenger on the B Train at 34th Street-Herald Square, but you could identify as a female passenger by the time you reach Rockefeller Center.
I know, it’s all very confusing, ladies and gentlemen (my apologies).
Lord only knows what the next stop is going to be on this gender-bender train ride into gender inclusivity.
And that's the problem, isn't it? This shows you how easy it is for the government to exercise tyranny. The vast majority finds this to be insane, but feel powerless to do anything about it and consequently acquiesce. And honestly, outside of outright bloodshed, what can be done about it?
or HEY YOU!!!
How about "meat cargo"?
But hold on - wou’t ladies and gentlemen be offended? According to liberalism if one is offended than the offensive statements have to be removed.
a real laugh because the NYC subway drivers and conductor are mostly blacks of Caribbean extraction these days. They have a lock on hiring
You know these blacks have no use for trannys and gays...what a laugh!
‘LISTEN UP, YO!”
It is ironic with all this sensitivity training and political correctness liberals did not think it was inappropriate to grope, rape and expose themselves. Just part of the job.
Urine soaked bums and junkies are still perfectly welcome of course.
What do they say instead:
“Sentient life forms of indeterminate gender”?
“Breathing masses of gender-fluid cells”?
Why do they insist passionately and unreasonably that we have to call bruce jenner “SHE”? but at the same time insist that the gender-binary HE/SHE is socially constructed?
Actually makes sense. How many ladies and gentlemen can be found on the NYC subways. Men and women would be more accurate.
Any FReepers familiar with The Ritz-Carlton Motto? “We are ladies and gentlemen, serving ladies and gentleman.”
As for this: LGBTQI and the letter A community.
I get the LGBGQI (though I am not sure what the "I" stands for), but what in the world is the "letter A community"?
Why don't we all start our own "community": the "Sane and Rational Community"? We have rights too! LOL!
LOL! The mind boggles... ;)
The stupidity of these people is beyond me and is eventually going to cause the collapse of our Republic with this nonsense.
And ladies and gentlemen, you can put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Yes...that’s about where we are...
Why not?
Afraid they'll ride cabs; instead?
The GF started her annual “Wanna see Rockefeller Center decorated for Christmas” blather over the weekend. First time, I ignored it. Second time? I didn’t bother pretending to be nice when telling her “NFW.”.
I said: “When >you< go, maybe you’ll still see the blood splatter from the latest raghead attack. Stop f***ing nagging me to go to New York City, I hate it!”
Haha. I surprised Mayor Wilhlem Von Dykebanger hasn’t banned Christmas yet.
I enjoyed my 2 visits as a teenager, just before 9/11, in the summer. We had a photo from the window of the WTC observation deck, lost, it’s probably around here somewhere. It was from circa August 2000.
I have the NYC problem solved.....I never go there : )
