Gender Neutral Confusion..............

[Squid]

Hi,
No you can can't! Now on a more practical point if you employ a person who is disabled and meets certain critera then they will qualify for goverment support under the access for work scheme. Now being "gender neutral" is not a dissablity. Get help at work if you’re disabled or have a health condition (Access to Work) - GOV.UK - https://www.gov.uk/access-to-work

Can you post up what the support is for people employed in South Africa as this has nothing to do with UK Legislation.

I am sorry, this is a UK forum and most of the members are in the UK. I am sure that Marvo and others from non UK understand this and will accomodate my indiscression.

Well we here in the UK are in the midst of such things as you mention @Marvo. It has been given legal credence and there are moves to remove gender assignment from passports. Clearly people are latching on to this movement of gender disphoria. i.e. being creative regarding ones biological sex. I see that some people describe this as cultural marxism. What underpins society is gender role assignment based on obvious biological facts which in turn form the family unit. Remove this and you undermine some of the most important underpinning tenets of a society. Which is after all is the stated aim of cultural marxism. Most disturbingly when legal acts are passed which ratify and amplify this we can be sure our government has embraced the same aims.
Some people genuinely resent and reject being pigeon holed into such a simple and obvious classification. This is an internal process which allows people to be gender fluid as it is named. And indeed why should anyone be pigeon holed? However it to my mind shows they have bought into a lie, maybe a pretty lie but lie nonetheless. Such mental processes which brook no debate or questioning presage an ominous totalitarianism, the kind of thing I feel quite allergic to.
This flies in the face of what might be called common sense. i.e. if you have a penis you are a male, if you have a vagina you are a female yes? Well...apparently no. So who will you believe the person saying they are neither either or both, or your own eyes. You may be aware of same sex marriage being legalised fairly extensively. Clearly "normal" relations and obvious sexual determinations are being stood on their head and defy logic.
I feel somewhat encouraged that some women now are back-tracking on feminism and deciding maybe being career rich and relationship poor are not good life choices. And that maybe men should be men and women should be women, who knows eh?
I have been most disturbed to find my grandchildren (boys, male)coming home from school talking of wanting to be a female as they have decided that today as a result of classroom teaching. With that and other matters I decided to withdraw them from school and home educate them. While others may debate the above I do not.
I do feel sorry for S.A. if that is looming on your agenda. I suggest as others here have you take vigorous legal advice regarding how you will deal with this as it grows. Not only for applicants but also for people who are employed with you and sufficiently immersed in cultural marxism as to cause you great distress when you say or do the wrong thing. Many have been sacrificed here on the altar of political correctness (read cultural marxism)

I can't see why it can't be asked at interview, as consensus here and Google search doesn't actually reveal what it is. The applicant has bought it to the attention of the prospective employer, who must know whether it might have an impact in terms of the employment

Yeh s'pose that was a bit of a joycean stream of consciousness without reference. Sorry about that will try not to do it again, can't promise tho'

These are not matters of logic, neither are they a fashion statement. Absolutely people should be able to marry the person they fall in love with.

I really like leader .I disagree with some of what you say but I like that you take the unpopular view on a male dominated site where it would be easier to make a crude joke to get a laugh . If 10 years ago someone would have brought up a issue like this up I would have a lot more time for it, but now days the genuine case get mixed up with the poses.
