Well, it starts like this:

Noon, lunch time, hungry, need to go have some food.

I was in line waiting for my turn to order my sandwich, when I see a lady with a REALLY deep voice preparing subs at the counter.

Then, I looked at her factions, and realized, this is no womas, this is a transgender!!!

When he/she asked me what I wanted on my sub, and confirmed my ingredients, I instinctively answered "yes, sir". Fortunately, I did it in such a low voice that i didn't "offend" him/her.

Isn't this PC'ness gone wild or what??? Now, even the damn campus Subway joint has to be "inclusive" and "diverse", by including some guy who probably had his willy cut!!!

Share your thouhgts!!!

Report From Campus will be back when I find someething relevant to talk about here...

In New York, this is an everyday occurance. ;-)

Heck, who cares? Can the, er, guy, make a good sandwich?

Just don't order the salami...

What makes you think this is forced diversity? That's a low pay/high turnover job. If someone is willing to do the job, speaks English as their first language, and can show up on time and sober, they'll get the job and keep it. Who cares what team they play on?

Your campus has a Subway? So does mine (University of Texas). I just ate there between classes a few minutes ago. Interesting. This could be a serious development.

But I have to go to class. I'll report back very soon.

It is forced diversity since the owners of the franchise would have been sued for not hiring this person/thing even though it would make most diners sick to their stomachs.

Here is the corrected (non-PC version)

When he/she it asked me what I wanted on my sub, and confirmed my ingredients, I instinctively answered "yes, sir". Fortunately, I did it in such a low voice that i didn't I answered loud enough for anyone within a city block to hear and did "offend" him/her it.

Didn't seem to stop the author of this note from buying the food. He didn't report any nausea. I'd imagine that most people would react the same way.

...speaks English as their first language,

A good start. The Subway on my campus has a lot of internationals and you always have to repeat what you want. An English speaking she male would be an improvement.
