This definition-creep has gotten out of hand. Yesterday, there was some LGBTQX thing on the radio, and the interviewer apparently mispronounced its strange name. Clearly offended, it announced that mispronouncing the name of a trans-fubarred thing was committing "violence" against it.
When did speech become "violence"? Next thing you know, silence will be violence. Somewhere, in some thing's mind, it already is. Oh wait, I forgot about Nick Sandmann.
Excellent example! Powerful forces are aligning to either impose a tyranny or start a civil war. Absolutely no deviation from an organic norm will be tolerated. The stupid media attempts to enforce such but they are already realizing that they are falling victim to their own standards.
As I pray for our nation I come to almost fear that the only way to end this petty bickering and growing violence is a natural catastrophe of apocalyptic proportion - the Yellowstone super volcano, massive earthquake consuming the Pacific coast, asteroid - whatever; a reminder of the frailty of our existence. If that happens folks won't fret about what bathroom they can use or whether men can get pregnant.
Look at what we are doing to our children!

Speech that the left does not like is “violence”.
Violence that the left does is “free speech”.

BREAKING: Students suspended from Canadian high school for refusing to wear rainbow poppy
The 17-year-old cousin of a former Conservative MP hopeful in the 2019 federal election and her friend have apparently been suspended from Stonewall Collegiate for refusing to wear a rainbow poppy.
Cyara Bird of the Little Black River First Nation, who was on the ballot for the Churchill-Keewatinook Aski riding of northern Manitoba this past election, took to Twitter tonight to express her anger after learning her cousin and another student had both been suspended for “hate speech” after rejecting the idea that rainbow poppies should replace the traditional red-and-black ones worn during their school’s Remembrance Day performance.
The young woman, who is half African-Canadian, asked instead to wear the red-and-black poppy traditional to the festivities, finding the rainbow poppy “disrespectful” to the World War 2 veterans in her family. Upon expressing her opinion, she and another student who shared her sentiment were sent to the principal’s office. According to Bird, the girl’s parents were not notified until after the suspension was applied.

My 17 year old cousin was suspended today... want to know why? Her choir teacher was demanding that the choir wear rainbow poppies during their performance in the Remembrance Day ceremony. She and another student rejected that idea, and both were suspended for “hate speech.”

Bird also posted a message from her cousin’s father which read that the young woman had attempted to record the school administrators admonishing her using her cellphone, but that they noticed and confiscated her phone in response.

Very excellently said! I do believe, however, the correct spelling of LGBTQX is LGBT?WTF. From now on trans-fubarred will be part of my lexicon, replacing transperv.
