ET, IT, OTT and Other "Things".

Some people are never satisfied. They're never happy.

Take for instance singer Mila Jam.

Mila was actually born Jamihla Adderley but THE YOUNGSTER WASN'T HAPPY WITH THAT! So, a name change was a must.

Also, Mila was born a boy but, of course, HE WASN'T HAPPY WITH THAT! So, he became a she by "changing gender", would that such a thing were realistically possible. 

Next, as Mila strutted around brandishing the label "transgender woman", people stopped referring to the singer as "him" and switched instead to "her" but guess what?........ MILA WASN'T HAPPY WITH THAT!

No, she now didn't "identify" as being EITHER a man OR a woman! She and others of the same persuasion insisted they were "non-binary". Neither one thing nor t'other.

So, MILA insisted on being referred to in the third person. To underline the point, and to supposedly give the indeterminate crowd a hit to which they could relate, the singer covered The Weather Girls' disco anthem It's Raining Men...but reworded and retitled It's Raining Them.

With head in hand and eyes bleeding I put pen to paper:

Dear Mila,

I was surprised to hear that as "non-binary" you do not identify with the pronouns "he" or "she" and insist instead on being spoken about in the third person. You do realise the relevant pronoun is "it"? Are you REALLY happy being referred to as an "it"?

Also, your reasoning for ruining The Weather Girls' classic It's Raining Men with the remake It's Raining Them is that it gives non-binaries and others in the LGBTQ community something to which they can relate. Are you seriously suggesting that men can't relate to Respect by Aretha Franklin or Jolene by Dolly Parton? Similarly, are My Boomerang Won't Come Back by Charlie Drake or My Old Man's a Dustman by Lonnie Donegan beyond the empathy of women?

Do you intend taking this revision of music history any further in your crusade to make music relevant to everyone? If so, why not make the following cover versions?

Long Tall Person.

The Ballad of Person A and Person B.

Hey It.

Big Bad Person C.

Call Me It.

Come On Whoever.

My Best Friend's Thing.

Brown Eyed Doings.

In the meantime, is there any chance you could help me bitchumenise my shed roof as you appear to have more than enough time on your hands?

Kind regards,

Reg.
