What else is going on with the woke movement, surely it couldn't affect people like me ...
It's always good to know the pilot of your fucking plane wasn't necessarily employed as they were the best person for the job.
If "Get Woke, Go Broke" doesn't apply here, I'll be extremely shocked.
They should have just taken the shortcut route to extreme wokeness and gotten Whoopi Goldberg to play the role of Sulley in the movie.

@majorrage Time to start Cathay Atlantic.
Someone with bigger balls than me can get into the aviation industry if they wish ....
I'm more than prepared to never fly United again!

The Madness of Crowds by Douglas Murray is excellent reading on all this, albeit quite chilling.
Indeed, we all whinge about traffic but rarely do we acknowledge our part in it

@taniwharugby my understanding is the individual has transitions from female to male and is now using male pronouns hence why referring to him as a "she" was the bad thing
This is not physically possibly.
Sorry for the cricket thing mate. You were right. Dog died.
Since you so innocently asked, allow me to ruin a small part of your consciousness that didn't need the following description:
“During operation one, the skin from under his bellybutton was rolled together – like a Swiss roll – and stitched up again to make the main part of the penis. Then they cut skin from the sides of his stomach to cover the exposed flesh.
Operation two will create a urethra from skin on his right forearm. The third will connect the bladder to the urethra. The fourth will install the erectile device; a pump inserted into the shaft allowing him to attain an erection by using a prosthetic testicle to pump saline water from a bag in his stomach into the new penis.
And to further spoil your interweb surfing, here's what western civilisation has done to our girls, because, presumably, we aren't allowed to hurt anyone's feelings when teaching about real life and nature:
Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) is what Dr. Lisa Littman calls a “social contagion,” and it primarily impacts young girls. Just a short time ago, only .002 percent to .003 percent of girls in the U.S. identified as transgender. Now, it is up to 2 percent, and Shrier told me that she believes the rate has spiked by thousands of percentage points (in the UK, the number of girls identifying as trans has risen by over 4000 percent). Most trans-identified youth used to be males – that has reversed. In 2016, for example, girls accounted for 46 percent of sex reassignment surgeries in the U.S. One year later, that number had spiked to 70 percent.
Abigail Shrier wrote a good book on this and was, of course, banned from everywhere and labelled a satan type.Once a girl takes testosterone, whatever effects are non reversable. Ever.
All a girl needs to do to take testosterone is walk in to a transition clinic. In many jurisdictions. Walk in and they are able to bypass the parent's wishes and go straight to "rights" under the law of the state. Many regret stories out there. Sterilised 14 year olds who were encouraged to ruin themselves. People pretended a child was an adult - frightful situationCondolences for doggo...
Thanks for the rest of the post. Both fascinating and repulsive at once.
Anyways ...
Must say the more astute observers amount you may deduce that I may have been a little under the influence yesterday evening... no, seriously ...
... but I stand by my rants.
This is an issue that really irks me. It's just so wrong.
In the meantime my work has gone all woke.
Serves us right for buying into the US and then appointing a woke CEO.
Apparently we can put our pronouns in our email signature ... if we want.
Am not sure how this makes us better Engineers.
Anyway I have ignored.
Am wondering how they would deal with people like me (white, middle class, middle aged, cis (Good God I hate that word), heterosexual, male) being seriously offended by his crap.

There is no evidence or anecdotes that this goes well for the complainer. Never have I heard of a company policy change. Many times I've heard people getting squeezed out, or at least severely dissatisfied at subsequent treatment.
I know you're being flippant but we're discussing a false premise deciding your job security, so I don't know how serious to be. I chose very serious 🙂

Old saying - If you want to make a small fortune out of aviation, start with a large one (probably been used elsewhere too).

There are so many reasons to make that happen, not just the above wokeness.
