National MS Society makes a 90-year-old volunteer step down because she wasn’t “inclusive” enough. Her crime was asking what pronouns are after she was required to start using them. Fran was a volunteer for 60 years and her late husband had MS.

Excellent reply. We should all memorize that or print it out and keep it in your wallet.

Thank you.
Years ago I heard Rush say a “right” only exists if no one else must be compelled to act for you to exercise that “right”.

That made complete, rational, sense to me.
When I hear or read someone claim a “right” to this or that, it is the first thought that goes through my mind.

You have a right to free speech; no one else must be forced to act for you to speak your piece.
You do not, however, have a right to be heard.

“Her crime was asking what pronouns are”
I suspect she has been using pronouns since she learned to speak.

However, the left has redefined the word "pronouns" to mean "subjective signifiers of an individual's chosen sexual fetish" rather than "parts of speech that objectively indicate the biological sex of the human they are referring to."

(At least in English. Several other languages have "gendered" pronouns for inanimate objects and verb tenses; but that was not the issue here.)

But from around 1935, when she learned to speak, until 2024, she had most likely never been asked to state what her "pronouns" were, since in in the pre-woke world in which she grew up and lived most of her life, the pronouns that described her were obvious. That is what likely confused her.
