That's what i don't understand either..whether you are gay,lesbian,transgender,transvestite etc one would still identify as either a gentleman or lady or even both if you're a hermaphrodite ffs..i don't see how ladies and gentleman do not fit everyone?

It's kinda silly, I'll grant you that, but it's not anything I'm going to get upset about.
There are plenty of other things much more important to get, and to be, upset about. IMHO, of course.

but why is it so important to you that it stays the same?

Seriously?
I think that's complete none sense...
I know somehow who "identify" as a cat, walks around with a cat tail butt plug and car ears... What am I supposed to do? Feed her delusion and enable her so that she grows more into the "pseudo persona" she's created for herself because she's afraid to be anything else but who she really is because shoving reality down her throat is "the bad thing to do" here?
I think before trying to force other people to accept whatever they believe they are, they should first start to accept themselves the way they are in first place. How can you ever be happy chasing an impossible dream? Regardless of what you do, you will always know, remember whether you were born with the shovel or the hole...
www.youtube.com...
"I don't wanna be an adult right now" just because you don't want to be an adult or you want to be something else doesn't mean you can and are... I'm sad at where this world is going...
Now there's "gender fluid" seriously? One day its a he and the other a she and at other times somewhere a he/she... seriously wtf... Somebody needs to wake them the hell up... you don't get to go left and right on the gender scale or up and down in the age scale at will... Your born the way your are and you age the like anything else whether you like it or not and for as long as
you try to deny that to yourself your never going to be happy...

That's true.I am,for instance,very sympathetic to the LGBT community but things like this just causes resentment especially among those who are not sympathetic in the first place.

You guessed it... that dumbass community of LGBT people have complained and their complaint has been upheld, now tube drivers can't say ''ladies and gentlemen we have a delay' or 'ladies and gentlemen we are being held here because of an incident up ahead... etc'
This is getting ridiculous if it wasn't already.
Why did these people form this community?

where is the harm?
The harm is that it is an extremely small minority of people who desire this change and it's not that bitter of an existence, they simply choose to make it that way. Removing terms we are all familiar with and disenfranchising everyone else is not the answer and sooner or later there will be a push back.

what's being removed? who's being disenfranchised?
isn't this whole thing just that drivers are now saying things like
"this is the last stop, will all passengers please disembark"
instead of anything specifically gendered?
how much ado can we make over absolutely nothing?
