Exactly this, even when I ring the bank up or whatever they ask me a variation of this question, what's the actual outrage here? 

 

I highly doubt if someone rings 999 in a massive panic and are screaming down the phone they aren't going to be helped until the operator gets their gender cleared up 🙄🙄

Good point, HHR.

My other thought is that this thread isn't going the way that Daddy wanted 

Then you'd be wrong.

I don't care if this thread goes a couple of posts of a few pages. I have my own views and I'd like to hear others views too.

Just as long as people keep it polite 👍

Why didn't you share them in your OP then?

I wouldn't have thought anyone would really give a hoot what they're called when they've dialled 999 after cutting off a finger/crashing into a hedge/falling off a roof etc..., all they'd care about is getting an ambulance surely?

I did. You just ignored them.

I must've skimmed over them. 

To be honest, it's the Daily Mail just trying to inflame opinion and occupy an 'intellectual' space where they feel most comfortable.

My thoughts is that the Daily Mail want to whip up their readership into a frenzy over a relatively trivial point.

And the  thread starter
