I realize I'm just another dumb white cishet male and therefore the source of all the problems in the world, but I am utterly baffled by the growing insistence that gender pronouns are a matter of opinion.
Back in the old days, when "science" wasn't just a word you threw at a political opponent to make him shut up about the weather, you had boys and girls. Men and women. He and she, him and her, his and hers. Easy to remember, and backed up by an ancient system of arcane witchcraft called "biology." Sure, you had people who weren't so easily categorized, like Prince and Rosie O'Donnell, but they were the exception. Most people were at peace with the fate dictated by their chromosomes. It was all good, man.
In 2019, now that we've apparently run out of absolutely anything else to worry about, more and more men and women are insisting they're neither men nor women. They're "nonbinary." And if you address them by the same pronouns you used as recently as a year ago? They'll call the cops.
Now we're supposed to use "they" as a gender pronoun. Not "he" or "she," but "they." As in: "There goes Dale, they work in my office. I'm their colleague. Pretty nice individual, once you get to know them." Imagine being so confused about yourself that you insist on being identified as a plural.
It reminds me of that old sketch "It's Pat!" on SNL, where nobody could figure out which gender Pat was. Except now we're not supposed to laugh, even when the answer is "neither."
You're free to call yourself whatever you want, but you can't force me to comply. Not in America, at least. Not yet.

Pronoun Police ? The End Is Nigh !!!!
Wow, thought everyone knew the “Pat” skits. It was actually pretty funny but totally politically incorrect now.
Western Civilization has become utterly pointless.
They better wear ID’s so people know what they are since they don’t.
The UK, ‘Great’ Britain is now just a test case for the United States by the Soros/deep state globalists.
I’m sorry they’ve lost but I hope we haven’t yet.
or colored stars ?
[Western Civilization has become utterly pointless.]
It’s staggering to watch it self-destruct.
No, I’m not happy about that one bit, either.
Well, we have better beer in the U.S., now, so aside from missing castles and such, no reason to go to the U.K..
I might end up in jail for opening my mouth.
Making the average law-abiding citizen a criminal.
A Police State where you never speak to anyone ?
Like Ayn Rand so wisely opined....create enough laws and we can make EVERYONE a criminal.
Same way they get to ‘trash’ the Military.
Start insisting ALL get IN, (not necessarily fight-just get to join the ranks) pretty soon all the things one was ‘trying to get away from’ by joining the Military are not only serving alongside you but ‘commanding’ you.
So once all the ‘he-men’ get out in disgust, all that is left is the ‘others’.
Check out the Roman Empire and see what happens when they farm out EVERYTHING including the Military/Police etc etc.
Sometimes it does backfire on them though...I cite the Female Orgs NOT really putting up a stink about the ‘boys’ playing in girls sports etc..
One of the main reasons would have to be that after so many years of NOW insisting that women were just as smart/intelligent/strong/ etc etc, kind of makes all your ‘work’ go down the drain when a ‘boy’ steps in and proves you WERE full of it....
“Just because you are a character doesn’t mean that you have character.”
If it’s just a matter of opinion then this woman should be allowed to hold hers.
Its gone way beyond a matter of opinion obviously and is now enforced speech on Bible believing and sane persons.
I prefer "it". Anyone getting an operation, such as addadiconmy or cutadicoffmy should be called it.

Too Jewish.
Ok triangles , squares ,figure eights etc etc
