Civil servants wearing lanyards
The Great Lanyard War grinds on.
A Government crackdown on so-called “woke” lanyards in the civil service has been dropped by Labour after the general election, i understands…Esther McVey, who was the Cabinet Office minister known as “minister for common sense” in the last Government, gave a speech in May arguing that officials should not seek to express their views or identity in the workplace…The change was widely seen as a response to a trend of civil servants wearing lanyards in rainbow colours to express support for LGBT causes.
Leaving aside questions about banning a particular form of lanyard, what I wonder is why it’s always LGBT causes. Why is it never women? Or workers? Or the poor?
But especially women, who are, after all, half of all people, and the source of all people.
Why does the LGBT brand soak up all the attention and celebration and incloosion and advertising and lanyard-wearing?
To be fair, it seems to be mostly the T that are soaking up the attention. But you know that, of course. The LGB are just there to give the T credibility. In a world where genitals don’t matter, LGB are irrelevant.
Virtue signalling much? Those lanyards were dyed with genuine unicorn blood. How dare we object.
Yes but in this one I am talking about the LGBTblah as a whole, not just the T. I’m asking why this particular brand of despised or rejected or undervalued or oppressed or persecuted or insulted people has its own lanyard and its own day and week and month and on and on and on while other despised etc people don’t. I’m asking why they are miles and miles ahead of everyone else in terms of getting shoutouts from the police and the government and schools and churches and corporations and the civil service and on and on. I’d really like to know.
Though if genitals really didn’t matter, there would be no concept known as “the cotton ceiling.”
