The French language is particular about gender.

It's even tougher in German, which has three genders--masculine, feminine and neuter. German nouns are divided about evenly among the three genders. And since you can't always tell the gender by looking at how the word is spelled, you have to memorize the genders of thousands of nouns.

Russian may be a much harder language than German for an English speaker to learn, but the gender of nouns is not much of a problem. Although Russian also has three genders, you can usually discern a noun's gender by looking at how it is spelled.

“If you damn, useless conservative idiots can’t get off your stupid asses to storm the schoolboard to challenge this crap, then you deserve a jackboot in your faces - forever.”

Where were you protesting, useless conservative idiot (by your own measure and words)?

“Where were you protesting,”

Was in local government for 10 years. Conservatives never showed up for schoolboard, village or county board meetings. Bunch of lazy, no-good, Mammon-worshipping frauds.

If I needed to get anything done, I had to appeal to local businesses, veterans and patriots.

Until you start hurting them in court and in the pocket book, none of this will change. Sue.

Maybe you’re confusing conservatives with republicans. Or maybe they were out working their 2nd or 3rd job, so they wouldn’t have to ask for government assistance. You’re using a mighty broad brush, there.

There are are an estimated 20,000 people in the world who identify as “Lycanthropists,” that is to say, they are biological humans who are convinced they are dogs.

What should we call them?

#28. Call them Sons of Bitches, and most of them are Democrats. Way more than 20,000. Have that many at one democrat party convention.

It’s easy enough to avoid pronouns. Simply use the person’s name. Instead of he or him or his say Bob or Bob’s.

Having said that, this rampant political correctness will only get worse. It’s not about pronouns. It’s about controlling everyone. And, they have to DEMONSTRATE that control every day. If you call them by their preferred pronoun they’ll find something else you have to do as well. And, then something else and something else and something else.

Still, most people I deal with can’t afford to miss even a single paycheck. They’ll lose their car and/or get kicked out of their living accommodations. This is why I live as simply and cheaply as possible. No TV. No cable. Only eat out when I have to...

We do not and cannot tolerate discrimination in any form, or actions that create a hostile environment for any member of our school family,

No matter what gender you assign it, a genetic male is a male, not a female. If you decide to call by the name of another gender it is you who is confused or insane. Eventually reality will prevail.
