I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear this. Only the other day I told my 4-year old grandson there was no way I'd buy this toy for him (sorry, I mean 'them') on gender equality grounds.* I'm a bit disappointed that they've retained the stereotypical moustache, which is hardly gender neutral...
A gender-neutral makeover will see Mr Potato Head become the toy formerly known as Mr Potato Head.
"Hasbro is making sure all feel welcome in the Potato Head world by officially dropping the Mr from the Mr Potato Head brand name and logo to promote gender equality and inclusion," Hasbro said of the name change.
[*His reply was "Screw that, Grandad, you know I'd rather have a dinosaur and a Spiderman"]
It was because of shite like this that I couldn't get out of the UK fast enough, only to find it's spreading worldwide.
I still remember some of the Civil Service training courses where we couldn't use him or her for fear of offending somebody. Yes, even way back then they were trying to brainwash gender neutrality into us. I'm sorry, I've got a penis, so I am a man, and I'm happy to be called him, Mr, male, etc., etc. The world has gone mad.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
My post was deleted, I don't know why. If you, whoever "you" are, are going to delete a post, it would be courteous to inform the poster. Thank you for your service.
The world has gone barmy, why can they not accept the fact that the sexes are different. Men and womens bodies are constructed differently to be able to recreate. Why some of these plonkers fail to see this makes me wonder if they are from the same planet. So a potato cannot have a moustache, so to keep a level playing field lets put a moustache on a barbie doll and breasts on an action man. That should confuse the kids, which is what they are trying to do.
Banter which is a good part of a social gathering is almost non-existant because people are afraid of the plonkers over reacting.
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.

Whatever it should be, it's a comma
At least that emoji is woke... it appears to be gender neutral!
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
