Abraham Lincoln is said to have told a joke about how many legs a dog has if you call a tail a leg. Lincoln said the dog has four legs because calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg. This simple bit of wisdom has been abrogated in our modern times. Men calling themselves women are considered women. Women calling themselves men are considered men.
Bruce Jenner calls himself Caitlyn now and has collected a Woman of the Year award. A boy who grew out his hair and called himself a girl was allowed to compete as a girl and blew away the competition in state championship races in Connecticut. The CDC says “pregnant people, not “pregnant women.” There’s an awful lot of people trying to prove that if you call a tail a leg long enough and loud enough, it really will become a leg.
There are also people pushing back and insisting on reality. A New Hampshire teenager attending Exeter High School dared to say there are only two genders, male and female, and was promptly handed a one-game football suspension. He in turn promptly hired an attorney from the Christian organization Cornerstone Action and filed a lawsuit.

The lawsuit claims that Exeter’s policy on non-binary students and their preferred pronouns violates the student’s First Amendment rights. He admits denying that there are genders other than male and female. He refuses to use pronouns such as “they” or “ze.” Under the free speech clause of the First Amendment, he says he has the right to avoid being compelled to use speech that he doesn’t agree with.

That procedure is called a LopItOffOfMe.
If it's from a different source than I do post it, as it is allowed.
BTW what brought this up? Mountain Climber did not complain to me? Are you sticking your nose in where it does not belong?
“There are only two sexes. Gender is for Language and grammar.”
Exactly! You are born either XX or XY. If you want to call yourself a golden retriever named Pickles or identify as a wheel of cheese, knock yourself out.
Another case where a person under the age of 18 is fighting the state for denying his constitutional rights. Wish more adults would step up to the plate. Besides, what is it with grown ups who are supposed to know better, picking on young people?
Let’s hope he win$ a big sum of money, plus the people who suspended him lose their jobs and must shame themselves publicly, including an apology.
Romans 1:26–27
For this reason God gave them over to their own disgraceful and vile passions.
Enflamed with lust for one another, men and women ignored the natural order and exchanged normal sexual relations for homosexuality.
Women engaged in lesbian conduct, and men committed shameful acts with men, receiving in themselves the due penalty for their deviation
These cases used to be called mental illness. So I guess mental illness is now considered normal behavior.
Madness
I'm not sure if that's annoying, or amusing. 8~)
Get real, it’s none of your business and you can not tell me what op-eds I can post. Those from American Thinker are also op-eds as far as I am concerned.

“There are only two sexes. Gender is for Language and grammar.”
Correct. Never cede the language. “Those who control language control minds.” Ayn Rand.

Good quote.
Good quote.
Thank you. It comes more in handy with each passing day.

Gender refers to Indo-European nouns, which can be masculine, feminine or neuter. Talking about humans? Then there are two sexes, male and female.
“ or if you are born with a pole you could, ouch I don’t want to think about it”
That would be a procedure called a Lopitoffome.
Indeed people pushing back and insisting on reality.
# Bruce Jenner calls himself Caitlyn now
I have no problem calling him Caitlyn, as I’d assume he had a legal name change to that effect. It doesn’t, however, make him a woman, nor does it require me to participate in his mental illness.
Names are arbitrary, your gender is not.
Sorry, I only care about Germanic philology.
