Senator Nick Xenophon,
who appeared via video at
the Pharmacy Guild National
Conference and Exhibition in
Sydney on Fri (see p1) says
he’s definitely no stranger to
pharmacy doors.
He confessed that he’s possibly
one of the industry’s biggest
customers, with workaholic
tendencies which lead him to get
somewhat run down and require
pharmaceutical help.
“In fact, I’m such a regular
customer at my cousin’s pharmacy
in South Australia I’m convinced
he’s got a new extension on his
home named after me,” Xenophon
confessed.
May I go to Ze toilet please?
You may need to change the
label on the pharmacy toilet door.
No more ‘he’, no more ‘she’
but only ‘ze’ - believe it or not,
schools in Vancouver, Canada
are replacing gender specific
pronouns with the title ‘ze’.
According to Orange News,
the Canadian city’s school board
approved the new policy allowing
pupils to be referred to as ‘xe’,
‘xem’ and ‘xyr’ instead of ‘he/she’,
‘him/her’, and ‘his/hers’.
Reportedly, children will be able
to choose whichever toilet they
wish including the option of a
legally mandated unisex toilet.
Not all parents are on board
with this and according to
one spokesperson, parents,
psychologists and medical experts
were not being listened to.
