She was great. Maybe these people object to the fact she was a lesbian?
If you're desperate to make a point you'll object to anything to get that point onto the agenda.
For science I’m going to try calling the missus a Ranger in various scenarios and see which ones (if any) she objects to 💡
Any chance of a brew Ranger?
What’s for tea Ranger?
Is it time of the month you grumpy old Ranger?
Oi Ranger, get your baps out!
Whilst you’re down there Ranger!
Get back in the kitchen where you belong Ranger!
That’s my Yorkie- they’re not for Rangers!!
Would you like me to park the car for you Ranger?
You know, seeing it written down like that, I think SusLGBTransQA+ were right 😔
^^^^
FWIW, I reckon you'll get a definite test result from your experiment.
If we're to infer anything here it is that a kick in the balls is the result of referring to a person as a Ranger.
I fear the experiment may not have had its dependent and independent variables set correctly, but I'm willing to let that slide - just to hear how you get on. 👍
It's just a name for a role although Rangering itself has split out into a multitude of different strands. In terms of people doing the role there might be a noticeable gender split with the more practical estates based skills towards men and engagement and community roles towards women. On the whole constantly re-balancing and a long way from the old male dominated world were a lot of rangers were wardens. To me it feels like a decent and increasing number senior ranger roles are now held by women. Still terrible ethnic diversity.
Paths for Everyone always feels like an appropriation of Paths for All.
Turns out Ranger's have a strong right-hook and quite the French vocabulary! 😵💫 🤕
At least it's warm in the shed tonight.
Beware of Ranger-Danger kids! 👊🏻
I'd quite fancy myself as one of the Path Ranger Alternative Terms Supervisors when I retire.
the statement about why they’ve dropped the Ranger tag then goes on about inclusion, diversity and unconscious bias which rather leaves me confused. What’s not inclusive or diverse about the word Ranger?
Job descriptions can use superficially gender-neutral terms that have widely-understood gendered meaning.

Playing Brexit Whack-A-Mole, I think.
Looking forward to someone suggesting that as this happened in Scotland, most people just don't understand the different context.
More importantly, does anyone think the word wanger is sexist?
There’s no ranger without anger. It’s not gendered but the sectarian resonances need carefully to be considered…
So whut yer sayin is it wus the tims? Sayin we cannae huv the Rangers!
EDIT: ffs, bindun.
I've just sent a strongly worded email to QPR football club.
