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?

Yah got “he” “she” or it. What’s yer poison?

I’m not playing some stupid game of “what is today’s pronoun” simply so you can crow to your other TWOT’s about how you made me do your bidding. You are blithering nonsense, and I’m not gonna legitimize it by humoring it.

No.

Oh, and by the way, it is not “gay”. You perverted that word, too.

If you’ve ever dealt with a triggered crazy you do not trigger them as you could end up in the hospital. Most people think it’s not worth the fight.

There's a word for that, it's 'intimidation.' I understand conflict avoidance, but is avoiding conflict what we really should be doing? You are right in pointing out that that is the dynamic behind this conversation.

Anyone who is repulsed by these people can play that game as well as they can … even better. Give yourself the most ludicrous title or “gender pronoun” you can imagine (preferably in a foreign language), and get HR and all the company lawyers involved if those misfits don’t accede to your absurd demands.

I agree...it should be that simple. But double-standards seem to abound in this day and age.

I'm fairly reasonable on this topic.

...and that is why the Left is winning the culture war.

A step here, a shuffle there, and pretty soon they have you right where they wanted you, while you were "reasonable" every step of the way.

I stick to personal pronouns...”you, you were, you are, you will be”(In addition to “I was, am, or will be or me”...when dealing with any “trannytard” directly and interpersonally.( not that many actually cross my path).

When they are out of earshot I use the proper 3rd person pronoun that befits their real gender.

If they demand some sort of weird pronoun other than “You or Me or I”, I will just stop talking, stare for a second and walk away.

Acceptance as “normal”.

THAT is goal NUMBER ONE. THEN, they can take everything else they want.

By using THEIR terms, we are granting their NUMBER ONE want.

This just has to STOP!

My sister screamed at me that bruce jenner is a ‘woman’. I was informed 3 days ago that my grand-niece is “transitioning” to a pretend man. It will get ugly as I will not comply with the pronoun lies.

“My sister screamed at me that bruce jenner is a ‘woman’. I was informed 3 days ago that my grand-niece is “transitioning” to a pretend man.”

I thank God that my entire family is 100% conservative, informed, and engaged. In June we’re having a cousins’ reunion, with about 80 people confirmed so far. (20 1st cousins, their kids, grandkids, etc.) I pity anyone who shows up with liberal beliefs and decides to express them. And the complexion makeup of the conservatives is Caucasian, black, Hispanic, and Asian.

I’ve been the same gender since birth so I’m confused on the whole pronoun thing. 😳
