The pronoun game, I'm not playing it, what about you?
The Glen Beck Show | May 2nd, 2022 | Vanity

Posted on 05/02/2022 7:03:22 AM PDT by shadowlands1960

I was listening to Glen Beck's opening this morning and he briefly discussed gender roles and brought up Rachel Levine. He referred to Levine as 'her' and it got me thinking, these conservative commentators near always do that. This isn't picking on Beck, they nearly all do it.

I see this as the verbal equivalent of 'bending the knee.' I know people do it out of a sense of kindness, like giving stuffed animals to members of MS-13 at the border. I think it is unhelpful. This is delusion, why should we feed into the delusions of people who are gender confused? I for a rule never do this. A man is a man and a woman is a woman and I want to this line to become clear again. Is that too harsh?

How do you deal with the pronoun 'issue?' Do you use the incorrect pronoun out of kindness or do you insist on the pronoun that actually describes the object of your discourse?

I don’t deal with freaks and pervs. I certainly will not engage in their warped view of reality.

If I’m ever asked for my pronouns, I will reply, “Fa” and “Que”

It is simple for me. I do not engage with people who feel the need to advise me of their preferred pronouns.

Glenn Beck went off the rails years ago.

If someone ever asks what are your pronouns, my reply will be
whatever Strunk and White dictates is proper.
They’ll be confused and probably leave you alone.

I'm fairly reasonable on this topic. If a man can genuinely make himself look and act like an actual female, very rare by the way, I'm okay with referring to him as a "she."

As for those who look like Benjamin Franklin with a Halloween store blonde wig - nope.

It seems we are required to tolerate this, then accommodate it, then support it, subsidize it, then fully accept it, then celebrate it. I'm not going down this path. You get more of what you tolerate until it becomes wholely intolerable.

In my case, I openly refuse to participate in the mandated pronoun game. I reject pronouns and demand the use of my preferred adjective.

Signed,

The Magnificent SERKIT
