Same here in the UK. A recent communicatiom suggested the term "vagina" be replaced by "bonus hole". I despair of the idiots in charge.

Gives you an idea of the level of intelligence of some of the idiots in charge over here.

What is the bonus?

The idiots didn't bother to expalin it, assuming that the rest of the population was as stupid as them.

Maybe they don't want to describe it so explicitly in details.I mean the a- hole and the b- hole

No it didn't. That was just what some media claimed it said.
The original source was stating that some people were using that term. It was not claiming it should be used instead. Similar to what the urban dictionary might do in providing a definition.

Vagina rebranded as ‘bonus hole’ by cervical cancer charity[^]
Quote: A charity which advises medics to refer to a vagina as a “bonus hole” to avoid upsetting transgender men has been accused of dehumanising women.
Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust offers a guide on its website detailing the appropriate language healthcare professionals should use when dealing with trans men.
“Bonus hole” and “front hole” are deemed acceptable alternatives to vagina, a word which could “cause someone to feel hurt or distressed”, it states.
The advice features on a section of Jo’s website under the header “Language to use when supporting trans men and/or non-binary people”.
The glossary was created in partnership with the LGBT Foundation.

That would of course be one of those media outlets claiming that.
|

You are claiming that the 'Telegraph' is not in fact a media source but rather is the original source?
|
|
|
|
|
I am not claiming anything.
|
|
|
|
|
Then repeating what I said...
"That would of course be one of those media outlets claiming that."
Especially with the Telegraph no one should read anything there without skepticism or even outright disbelief.

IMAO, as far as sex is concerned, XY == boy/man; XX == girl/woman. The tiny fraction of people who are neither (XXY, XYY, etc.) should be classified according to their external sexual organs. This leaves an even tinier fraction who have both or neither, who should be classified as they wish to be classified.
As far as sexual orientation is concerned, as long as you don't do it in the street and frighten the horses...
Now, if only everyone were as logical as me...

I use the restroom that won't scare people. Has nothing to do with my chromosomes and everything to do with not causing a scene.
It wouldn't be logical to go by chromosomes because you can't blood test everyone you meet.

Pretty much this. What the snowflakes want others to call them is another matter.
My simplistic, perhpas naive mind goes something like this. Say you've just been diagnosed with a potentially fatal disease. Two medical procedures exist. One is certain to kill a man, but save a woman. The other will kill a woman, but save a man. When the doctor asks you which procedure you want to have, I think your choice of pronouns is gonna be the first thing out the window, no...?

And generally those who don't have either XX or XY have other significant issues. Downs' Syndrome is just one example of this.

I can understand the "Rachel's parent/caregiver" especially if you do not know Rachel's home situation. She might be in a single parent home living with only her Dad. She might even be in the foster program and living with foster parents.
If Fred wants to be identified as female, I personally don't like it but fine, just don't compete in athletics against biological females.
I'm going to stop there before I get into trouble.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

That's a huge part of the problem, isn't it? You'd like to express an opinion, but abstain from doing so out of fear someone's gonna get upset. We're not gonna get anywhere, ever, if there's no tolerance.

That a little bit, more though I don't have the time nor energy to expend on an argument that won't change anyone's mind,
and the Soapbox no longer exists.

Right, I was merely making a general statement, I wasn't urging you to post anyway.
Besides, one has to pick his battles. IMO this one isn't worth of my time either.

I'm sorry the idiocy of the American Left has infected Switzerland. Our left simply doesn't understand basic biology.
