One thing that I will never again take for granted is easy access to a keyboard. Utterly essential. An article cannot be pecked out on a virtual iPhone keypad. But I digress.
The pronoun fad has hit home rather abruptly for me: my child recently came home from 7th grade to inform me that the science teacher required that all the students give their pronouns to the class. Many people probably have no idea what I’m talking about, so I will try to explain it. And I assure you that it is even more insane than it sounds. “Pronouns” in this sense, are referring to how you choose to be addressed. Are you a ‘he/him’ or a ‘she/her’? Where it ventures into the absurd is when someone of one biological sex uses the pronouns of the other sex. Or the pronouns of no sex. Or the pronouns of an inanimate object. They could use ‘ze/zir’, ‘they/them’, or what have you. Yes, it is psychotic, and its very difficult to come to terms with the reality that a fringe left-wing cultural movement that emerged from the sewers of social media has now spread through academia, corporate America, and government at every level.
This seemingly innocent request for pronouns masks its role as a gateway to gender ideology, or the belief that you can be whatever gender you feel like being, biology be damned. It’s become a total belief system, a bonafide, fundamentalist religion, and it’s been smuggled into our children’s lives under the auspices of tolerance and acceptance. Tolerance? Refuse to give your pronouns and see what happens. Does the reaction of the pronoun fundamentalists strike you as particularly tolerant? As with many religions, this most latest is fueled by hate, and a desire to control. “Tolerance” is the lie that sells the poison that infects the mind. Pronouns are introduced to children at as young an age as possible so that the gateway is opened to feed books and ideas to children that guide their minds along the primrose path to total acceptance of the new faith. Anyone refusing to play along is branded as hateful or intolerant. And so emotional blackmail is used to keep the impressionable young minds shackled.
I object primarily because no one should have a say in what words I can use. A free, open society, one that respects free speech, is anathema to the gender ideologues, who advocate for a closed society of carefully controlled speech and actions. Through their insistence that refusal to participate in the pronoun lunacy is tantamount to murder, they absolve themselves of approving of actual violence against the infidels. Freedom and true tolerance cannot co-exist with a belief system such as this. Something will have to give. At the moment, freedom and real tolerance are on the retreat. Here’s hoping that enough people see through the lie to stop it before it’s too late.
