    Student: Doctor, I seem to have developed a nasty rash down there, and it smells a bit funny.

    Doctor: You seem to have got yourself a dose of clap.

    You can't say that any more, the correct term is "dose of jazz hands".

    Sorry, at the moment there is no cure for that.

    Can't you give me some antibiotics?

    We're not allowed to prescribe them anymore, as apparently they unfairly exclude biotics. So when your dick falls off, you'll only have yourself to blame, as you started this nonsense.

    Thanks, I see what you mean now. However, I simply don't understand how clapping could 'trigger anxiety' in someone. That's quite abnormal. Where is the harm in clapping?

    There are two genders, male and female

    That is an inescapable biological fact

    Females have an X chromosome and a Y chromosome

    Males have two X chromosomes

    Somebody may feel/choose/decide that their biological gender is wrong but that doesn't mean there are an infinite number of genders so let's not pretend there are

    Yes, but they can still be who they are, without needing some ridiculous label. People of such persuasions existed long before these fashionable labels were invented, and good luck to them. They didn't need them then, and they don't need them now, as labels don't define who you are. *Being* who you are is the important thing, not having a daft badge to identify it.
