U.S. Navy Releases Video Training Sailors to Use ‘Right’ Pronouns, Not ‘Misgender’ Colleagues
breitbart ^ | 06/22/2022 | Joshua Klein

A newly-released Navy training video teaches sailors to use the “right” pronouns, “show that we’re allies,” and create “a safe space for everybody,” while instructing service members on how to proceed after having “misgendered” someone.

The official U.S. Navy video posted by Air Force Staff Sergeant John Vannucci, according to The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS), begins with two rainbow-clad hosts — both Navy civilians — introducing their personal pronouns and announcing they are there “to talk about pronouns.”

“Using the right pronouns is a really simple way to affirm someone’s identity,” one host says. “It is a signal of acceptance and respect.”

In order to “go about creating a safe space for everybody,” the host suggests using “inclusive language.”

“Instead of saying something like, ‘Hey, guys,’ you can say, ‘Hey, everyone,’ or, ‘Hey, team,’” he says.

The other host then explains “another way that we could show that we’re allies and that we accept everybody” when she suggests including pronouns “in our emails” or when introducing oneself.

If one has “misgendered” another, she continues, “correct yourself and move on or you accept the correction and move on.”

People unhappy being coerced re the use of “proper” pronouns should simply refrain from using pronouns.

Next thing is that sailors will be required to wear gender insignia on their uniforms instead of rank insignia.

I remember seeing similar race relations videos in the 1970s, 80s and 90s during my service.

We generally ignored the BS. It’s always a good thing to be good to your fellow American servicemen and not a @$$, and we did. However, most everyone knew that and will do so despite the woke propaganda.

They have to make such crap because the politicians in charge make them, but it really doesn’t go down as orders to every troop.

What I mean is, if we here note this as woke propaganda BS, then so do the troops, especially Navy Chiefs and Petty Officers...

They’re not little automats that salute and say, Aye, Aye to every chicken$h1t rule/regulation/written order...

I've used "hey guys" with a mixed crew, to show the women they were included in the whole team.
I've used "ladies" with an all male team, to get their attention. No one was offended.
Now I will be erased from history (what's left of it).

We are so screwed. It pains me to know I pledged my life to this country so we could end up with “pronouns”.

” In the Marines. Outstanding. Those individuals showed what one motivated Marine and his rifle can do. And before you ladies leave my Island, you will all be able to do the same thing.”

So would Gunny Hartman get in trouble now for using the wrong gender?

I saw a pronoun training commercial on YouTube. “High. My name is Alecia and my pronoun is CM... “. That’s all I heard as I hit mute. (It appear to be a man wearing makeup and a wig.

How to mock the transgender fascism while complying with orders. rules, and laws:

Use scare quotes. Can be done by putting quotes around the false pronouns you are being forced to use when in writing. The two-hand peace sign, like Nixon was known for, also signifies the words being used are a quote of someone else when speaking.

When speaking you could also stretch out the words with a rising and falling pitch to indicate it is being used sarcastically.

Of course, ultimately, we have to be willing to follow our conscience and convictions even if we are punished for them.

So, how do you determine the preferred pronouns of non English speaking POWs?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
All one needs to deal effectively with this pronoun BULLSH*T are two words: HEY YOU! Or, if you’re the chatty type, you can say, Hay arsehole, I’m talkin’ to YOU!

It's the Navy; refer to them all as squid or barnacle.

As in, "The next one of you squids that screws up will be detailed to prop wash!" Do you hear me, barnacles?!?!

If they say they have a preferred pronoun, refer to them as whale sh_t and remind them they're called that because there's nothing lower than it sitting on the bottom of the ocean.

Send the transgenders to go to the engine room to get a bucket of steam and 50 feet of chow line.

When can we resurrect Admiral King and put him back in charge?

IF I were a young person, there is NO WAY I’d enlist...no way.
Rainbow whatevers will gravitate to this new f'ed up Navy. When it comes to a shooting war, they can mis-gender the enemy. That'll show 'em.
