I put on my DEI training on what i learnt. 'i learnt that i still only believe in one race and that is human'. Im head strong and i will not keep quite on this. I got made redundant in less than 6 months from lloyds bank. This was before they started making Halifax staff wear pronoun badges. I got a job in two weeks for a better international company with more staff benefits. Thanks lloyds!!!
@@TessaTickle their logic is they’re being “kind” to the people “you’re marginalising” by getting rid of you. Like everything with this ideology it’s a lie. People either believe the lie or push the lie for financial gain.

I went to art college when younger, all my best mates were gay, I won't be lectured on the boxes they want to put people in, so I removed the paper, tore it into little pieces and binned it.

The business of culture caters primarily to educated people under 35, which is most of the "woke" people; cater to that demographic and you will never go broke.
You can't because it is enshrined in half a dozen of Tony Blair's Acts of parliament - most egregiously the Communications Act and the Gender Recognition Act.
Then only voices heard will be theirs! That is what they want! The woke are experts at using nice sounding language to hide their real aims. If we don't stand up for our values their values will triumph, by default!
I wish it was that easy. For some of us the woke are now ordering us to do things we don't want to. For example, where I work we are now being forced to actively give approval to trans ideology.
I never felt less welcome since people started trying to be more welcoming. Welcoming, inclusion, diversity etc are all politically charged terms now and are used to signal you’re part of the cult and if you aren’t part of the cult or don’t at least pay lip service they will certainly make you feel unwelcome very fast.
I've encountered this at work where I apposing "activists" and I've not taken the defensive position but attacked the ideas or the approach. It hasn't become a HR thing yet and we haven't been required to have "training". I do like the defensive stance of I'm X I appose X on these grounds not on your grounds because then HR will be challenging my protected beliefs.
I spent twenty years providing diversity support at a major us university. Yes, it was designed to be welcoming to all. DEI ended those programs and flipped the mission upside down
😂😂😂 how are any of these issues part of common discourse, how has it come to this point? The stupidity is off the charts. I'm heartened to see common sense still exists.
Well it finally happened to me a few days ago. I work for a major British charity and I had to do DEI training (although they called it EDI for some reason, like we wouldn't realise what it was). Fortunately, it was computer based training with videos/text/graphics, and I was able to zip through it in about 15 mins by forwarding the videos and not typing answers when they asked things like "What did you learn from this video?". I was very tempted to type in one of the boxes "How much money is being wasted on this woke nonsense, which would otherwise be spent on [our charitable function]?". I laughed out loud when it explained the meaning of terms like "micro-aggression", "privilege" and "intersectionality". I was relieved that my immediate manager, who asked me to do the training so that the computer registered that I had done it, also thought it was nonsense. Anyway, I've just ordered Helen's audiobook and look forward to start listening tomorrow.

What is kind in any given situation is not always clear and to be truly kind may not always give you a fuzzy warm feeling or be able to signal virtue. Inclusivity often has a cost - should you pay it? Should someone else pay it? A woman's toilet including in tact men in a wig identifying as a woman rather than a predator for example.
Do you comment that on every video featuring a person with health issues causing them to be overweight? Or only when they are intellectually superior people who make sense and that offends your inferior little brain?
As a white person why do I feel Discrimination, Exclusion & Intimidation ?
Because you are being discriminated against, excluded and intimidated.
Because diverse, inclusive etc are just code words for anti white.
Thank you so very much, Helen, for everything you've done to battle this insidious cult!
