Malicious misgendering'? What about malicious stomping on free speech rights?
American Thinker ^ | 19 May, 2022 | Ed Brodow

eady for your kid to be charged with sexual harassment for refusing to say "xir" or "zhim"?

All rights, including freedom of religion, stem from freedom of speech. Without free speech, we have nothing. Zero.

In complete disregard for this basic American value, free speech is regarded by the left as an outdated concept. Mark Steyn, author of America Alone, observed that we are turning into "one vast college campus," where there is one correct view and all others are prohibited. On such a "campus," there is no room for free speech.

The latest manifestation of the left's distorted vision is the attempt to mandate the use of subjective personal pronouns. Two examples have just been exposed. The first is taking place in Fairfax, Virginia, where the school board is reviewing updated rules that could expose students to suspension or expulsion for "maliciously misgendering" their peers. In other words, if I want to be referred to as "they" instead of "he," you can be suspended if you refer to me as "he." The new rules would make "malicious deadnaming" and "malicious misgendering" of classmates a "Level 4 offense," which allows for a suspension up to five days "if frequency and intensity are present."

The second example involves three Wisconsin boys who are facing sexual harassment charges from their middle school over accusations that they used incorrect gender pronouns for a fellow student. Think about that for a minute: sexual harassment. "I thought it wasn't real," said Rosemary Rabidoux, a parent of one of the accused boys. "I thought this has got to be a gag, a joke." She insists that the use of certain pronouns and sexual harassment have nothing to do with one other.

If somebody insists on knowing my pronouns, my answer is kiss/a$s

If everyone would just start looking at everything going on in the world through the lens of deliberate destruction, things become very, very clear.

Again, for the culturally disadvantaged, "free speech" only applies to fags, liberals, atheists, addicts....

If someone is asking my pronouns I tell them imperial wizard or grand cleagle.

rather than refuse you have to make their assertion a joke.

Freedom of speech must never be suppressed, except for criticism directed at minorities, non-Christian religions, homosexuals, communists, illegal aliens, and other constituencies of the Democrat party.

I teach adults to shoot guns. Had one person ask me to use the “they/them” pronoun. I told them that everyone in the class has the pronoun “hey you” because I suck at remembering names. They/them/he/her” had no choice but to accept that since everyone prepaid for the class. Otherwise they/them was free to leave with no refund.

So, if someone calls me a NAZI, I can have them arrested for hate speech?

The only misgendering is calling someone something they're not.

XX = Girl, Woman, Miss, Ms., Mrs., She, Her

XY = Boy, Man, Mr., He, Him, His

The only maliciousness is from the mentally ill trying to force others to accept the delusion.

Frankly, I’m offended at constantly being maliciously mis-colored! Henceforth, I shall be referred to as the “pasty negro”.

Even though there is no law against it, the left treats it as a crime. Soon there WILL BE a law against it, and we will have lost what little freedom we had.

The left is obsessed with forcing us to think in an approved way. Let’s force them to release their iron grip that is clamped around our mouths and minds.

Malicious deadnaming?

WTF is that?

And there are three correct responses to this idiocy:

The first is mass refusal to comply.
The second is to vote every one of these clowns out of office.
The third can’t be posted here.

This just in: The DNA proves, there are only two genders. Any other claim is misinformation.

Seems to me that those who choose “they/them” have more of a problem with the math than with self-identification. It’s been said that four out of three people have a problem with math.

Rather than meekly acquiescing to lunatics’ audacious claims to control of speech, how refreshing it is to see that people are learning to push back with their own assertions of self-control. “You can pretend to be who you want, but you cannot make me play along.”
