Not sure the source is correct. Can’t find anything saying this is Asda and not some small time bakery doing a p*** take
Ginger bread person
- Thread starter transam
- Start date
My 7 year old granddaughter saw similar in a supermarket a few weeks ago and asked me why they were called 'person', when it was clear they were gingerbread men' because they don't make gingerbread women and he wasn't wearing a kilt.
As she is very intelligent for her age, my stepdaughter tried to explain to her about 'trans' people. Her reply was, "Well that doesn't mean we have to put different labels on food because food is not human."
She will still call them gingerbread men by the way, as we all will.

Pretty sure I will call them gingerbread men too, from habit more than anything else.
But I refuse to get worked up or concerned about it.
Is it really bread ? Does it matter ?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the making of ginger bread one of the childs first introduction to the workings of the kitchen???
I think anyone who wants to virtue signal or make their political statement during this magical period of time is a Fwording disgrace.

The bakery did this three years ago as a joke, nobody noticed.
it’s not “PC” it’s just mucking about.
Out of interest who says the traditional shape is male?
Do those who are triggered by the word “person” rummage about with jelly babies looking for the boys so as to gat a bit more?

"Man" (or mann) originally just meant human. In order to define gender it was prefixed with either "fir" or "wif" (male or female). You can see this in Manx where "fir" means man and even in English where woman and wife both derive from "wifman". So linguistically "man" is just as correct as "person"...
