They are told to use gender neutral terms, as are the police, a policeman will never refer to himself as a policeman, nor will a policewoman refer to herself as that either. Its a bit of a no no and potentially they could be disciplined for it. I happen to know that this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hardly rocket science What about a non binary person who works in the fire service? NB. Hope this is a better way of wording a fair question to make the point this time, mods.

Pat is also gender neutral as a name so is ideal. Some minor dubbing over the script to ensure non-gender specific pronouns are used to refer to them and it's fine.
