The pronoun game, I'm not playing it, what about you?
The Glen Beck Show | May 2nd, 2022 | Vanity

Posted on 05/02/2022 7:03:22 AM PDT by shadowlands1960

I was listening to Glen Beck's opening this morning and he briefly discussed gender roles and brought up Rachel Levine. He referred to Levine as 'her' and it got me thinking, these conservative commentators near always do that. This isn't picking on Beck, they nearly all do it.

I see this as the verbal equivalent of 'bending the knee.' I know people do it out of a sense of kindness, like giving stuffed animals to members of MS-13 at the border. I think it is unhelpful. This is delusion, why should we feed into the delusions of people who are gender confused? I for a rule never do this. A man is a man and a woman is a woman and I want to this line to become clear again. Is that too harsh?

How do you deal with the pronoun 'issue?' Do you use the incorrect pronoun out of kindness or do you insist on the pronoun that actually describes the object of your discourse?

I mostly choose to disengage with anyone displaying that level of severe mental illness. Or rather, they usually choose to disengage with me when I tell them that they are suffering from delusion and not doing themselves any favors by giving in to it.

I would probably revert to "it."

Seriously: we don't identify cockroaches or houseflies by gender - so why should we accord a maimed / disfigured / castrated eunuch any greater courtesy?

If my 17 year old granddaughter has to provide her pronouns she simply answers nor/mal.

I’m all about it.

My pronouns are “Your Majesty,” “His Majesty,” and “His Majesty’s.”

Kneel, peasant.

As for those who look like Benjamin Franklin with a Halloween store blonde wig - nope.

Priceless!

It seems we are required to tolerate this, then accommodate it, then support it, subsidize it, then fully accept it, then celebrate it.

Then either make way for it (as in: bow out) or convert to it.

“The pronoun game, I’m not playing it, what about you?”

I don’t even know the rules.
I don’t want to know the rules.

I simply don’t know any “transgender” people, and if I met one, I would avoid meeting them a second time.

A person can change their name but you are born with characteristics that can’t be altered. Sex is one of them. I won’t honor a sick delusion.

I’m not a big fan of Ben Shapiro but on this one he’s right. What you do in a personal interaction with someone does not have to reflect your approach to the broader issue. If you are in a position to deal with a freak personally, it’s not unreasonable to treat the freak respectfully as long as you are in its presence.

All the more reason to minimize any dealings with them, by the way.
