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?

That Trans Admiral is one ugly fat dude. Yuk. We need to parachute him into Donbas to fight “for democracy”, whatever that is.

"...there ain’t nothing else!!!"

To be fair there is such a thing as 'hermaphrodites.' The condition is rare though, and is just that a 'condition'... It's a birth defect. They generally don't live a full lifespan. I have no idea what the 'XY' XX' involved is....

Nope, no pronoun games here. But I am accusing ANYONE of playing the game of being pro LGBTQ. Beck is now pro LGBTQ. These people classify themselves, this is an excellent measurement.

The only pronoun I use is “you” as in “What makes you think I want to talk to you?”

That’s pretty much how I deal with it.

Oh, H3LL NO! I will neither accommodate it (go along with the insanity) or convert to it (buy into the insanity).

I totally get your point, I was just setting up my punchline.

Fact is, I am not aware of any man that meets my criteria of earning the right to be called a woman. Even Bruce Jenner, with his army of cosmeticians and fashion consultants still looks like a man in drag at the end of the day.

I identify as a “NP-PUP”, or a “Non Preferred Pronoun Using Person”.

I knew I was this way even at a young age. Its simply a denial of who I am as a person to force me to use someones preferred pronouns.

Stop the H8! Stop the prejudice and bigotry! Be proud to identify as a NP-PUP!

Yep. Lately, when I decide to respond to a leftard - I go straight to the “you guys want to sexualize our kids, you’re a pedo and you will get what is coming”. They stop in the tracks.

The left has solidified their position on “trans” - it must be taught to kids. Individual leftards don’t like it when they’re publicly called out and have it rammed down their throat. They can’t say they don’t want it taught to kids. So repeatedly call them “pedo”...

i have my birth name. i have my nickname. I am a born and bred red blooded American male.

pronouns, you say?

I demand that you use the pronouns for a man, as taught in English classes in the year 1968. None of this putrified, pussified insanity for me.

I will have no part of it either.

It is wrong to suport an addicts addiction, out of understanding, sympathy and trying to be kind to the addict. It is equally true in regard to someone’s errant obsesssion they have about their own identity. It is kind to let them refer to themselves however they want, but we are no more obligated ourselves, to give in to their mental obsession than we are to tell a naked emperor that he is wearing nice clothes. Male and feamle is determined by biology, not a mental problem.

I have and always will base the pronoun on the person’s DNA.

Men will always be men and women will always be women. Disfiguring surgery and hormones and puberty blockers will not ever change your DNA, thanks to the Good Lord above.

I had the opportunity to interview a man who was pretending to be a woman. He had painted fingernails, blush, eyeliner, penciled eyebrows, etc. He had really done a good job of pretending.

He was also very open in talking about his “transition,” his word. He said the only part of his body he would always have trouble with were his hands. And looking at them I could see clearly they were man’s hands.

“...but is avoiding conflict what we really should be doing? “

My former neighbor was a stalker. He was a continuously triggered crazy*. Responding to one of his hysterical calls regarding his crazy, dangerous neighbor (me) the deputy said, “I know what he’s doing is annoying, dangerous and he’s scaring you. But if you respond in any way, I’m arresting you.”

I can’t remember if there were two or three lawsuits, which I won. But about the above statement my attorney said, “Law enforcement isn’t about what’s right or wrong they just want whatever is going on to stop. They understand that he’s crazy. They can’t deal with him. But they also understand that you aren’t crazy, and you do fear getting arrested. They will always default to arresting the sane guy. I’ve seen it several times.”

* One day I was at work and somebody came to get me saying, “Some guy’s on the phone...says he’s your neighbor and it’s urgent he speaks to you. He’s been on hold a while now.” When I got the call he introduced himself as someone living about a mile from me. He said his kids had been playing with my neighbor’s kids and the neighbor had a wall in his house covered with photos of me, obviously taken with a telephoto lens. I moved forty miles away because he’d done everything the BTK killer had done. The photos on the wall ticked off the final item. He still stalked me but I gunned-up and didn’t respond. He eventually started stalking the guy who bought my house. He sold out in six months. My real-estate agent, who went to school with the buyer and knew him as a bad ass said, “He’s a bad ass who got into lots of fights, but he’s also sane and he realized if he stayed one of them would die.”

Our society does not protect the good guy in conflicts. It has this insane zero tolerance that punishes the good guy...really more than the bad guy.
