British bureaucrats offended by “gingerbread man”, rename him “gingerbread person”
Political correctness gone mad: British bureaucrats, offended by the term “gingerbread man” on school menus, had the menus changed to read “gingerbread person.”
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

APPLES AND ORANGES, POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AT ITS MOST RIDICULOUS
A biological man who is now a transgender woman competes in a woman’s bicycle race and amazingly……………wins!
https://dailycaller.com/2018/10/16/cyclist-transgender-win-unfair/
(The transgender winner in the picture is standing in the middle on the stage)
This is a prime example of political correctness and how it is fundamentally flawed and unfair. Political correctness for all of the “equality”, feelings and compassion it is based on will in the end kill everyone. Like I told a Liberal lady today. “If a Liberals mouth is moving and words are coming out of it they are lying”. You can only lie so long before reality catches up to you and serves you up a nasty dose of itself as a reminder and re-instruction. Refuse to listen and in time you will be no more.
The #2 rider from Europe said: “I can only imagine what she had to go through in her life to be where she is now, how hard it is to fit in,” she added.”
What this person has had to go through in their life has not one thing to do with fairly competing in a sports event when they were born a man and is now a transgender woman and is competing against women.
Life as a general rule is not fair, might it be a better idea for transgender people to compete against transgender people of the same transgender? That seems the more fair and respectful to all arrangement to me.
