At a cafe on the ground floor in the Royal Albert Hall and pop to the lavatory just before a #Proms concert. An older door attendant advises me that the loos are now ‘gender neutral’ and asks me, with a wink, ‘So, what gender are you Sir?’. What larks. #peaktrans #NoSelfID

But joking aside, this whole episode has opened my eyes so much to language and the importance of who controls it, a point that had been made to me before but I have never seen such blatant twisting of material reality through language before. It’s an inherent part of fascism
Yes "gender neutral" sounds so much less intimidating and uncomfortable than "mixed sex".

It was with Meghan Murphy &
@MForstater in London. Made me really think about language & resonates with what your saying. Not sure the meeting was recorded anywhere? - 3 more replies
