London transport will stop using “ladies and gentlemen”, switching to “gender neutral” announcements
London took another step in the direction of identity politics over biology, embracing the abolition of insensitive and destructive pronouns like “he and she”, or in London’s case “ladies and gentlemen” from transport announcements.
As part of a push to become more gender-neutral and less gender-reality, London transport workers have been told to stop using the phrase “ladies and gentlemen” in announcements.
