RAF Gender Neutrality Language-Really??
MANure.
RoMAN
MANipulate
Other than reading about such bollocks gonads* I am happy to record that my life thus far has been untroubled by any of this awakened stuff, although I did struggle to work out which Crapper to use in a nearby city recently. Such was the need , I made the decision rapidly, seemingly correctly.
* ovaries are included by some authorities as gonads, but I stopped theoretical Biology when I discovered practical.

I find it incredibly sad that the leaders of the few.(RAF) Devote so much time, effort and waste into this woke campaign nonsense instead of working through the things that really matter! I despair 😞.

We learnt all this stuff about words back in kindergarten, 76 years ago for me. 
I dispare also least there be any doubt..

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’
’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’
’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

Surely this is air cadets only and not the ‘real RAF’.
Either way, does it really make a difference to the organisation’s output or will it encourage/discourage young people from joining?

It amazes me how quickly after leaving the RAF that I stopped caring about cr@p like this. Bearing in mind that people currently serving either don’t post on here or aren’t especially bothered and just get on with their jobs, it’s incredible that a bunch of people who left long before I did can still allow their knickers to get knotted over something that doesn’t affect them.
I find life is much easier if you see stories like this and just adopt a ‘ho hum’ attitude. If it doesn’t affect you, move on.
It’s fair to say that my current work location does not hinder itself with such concern over pronouns. Neither do I expect they will in my lifetime. Ho hum.

I’m more bothered by why people get so annoyed by all this cr@p. If it doesn’t directly affect you, why get annoyed by it?
Yes I realise my statement is a direct contradiction. Are you now getting annoyed by the fact that I’m getting annoyed about people getting annoyed about stuff?

I feel for the poor bugger that has had to trawl through QR's to convert them into KR's to be told to start again and check for wokeiness lol.

We have managed to survive alright with Man and Women since the dawn of our species, but in a scant few years we have attempted to throw all that we know out of the window to appease a minority..
History is just that, history, it is an ever evolving timeline, and just because a few object to what our fathers did in the past, you cannot erase that, you can disagree with it and learn from it, but it happened rightly or wrongly. Trying to erase that past can mean "Man" can never learn from their mistakes and move on.

… yet from your username, I had you down a bloke / man / male / non-vagina'd / be-testicle'd (maybe just half castrated! - the 'nut' is singular after all!) person that WASN'T wearing any knickers!

We could of course just call everyone knobs, as I have worked with knobs from all sexes.
Or wankers?
99% of the population say they do it / did it, and 1% are liars.
One size fits all.
