A doctor rushes to the side of a patient who has just collapsed on the way to the toilets in the emergency wing. He checks for signs of life—pulse, circulation, breathing. He has never seen the patient before. How serious, he wonders, could this be? The doctor calls out: “Does anyone know anything about her?” The senior nurse, who has just come over, looks shocked.
“Him!” she practically shouts at the doctor. “You refer to that patient as him!”
And the doctor thinks to himself: “So I’m supposed to check the patient’s pronouns before I check his pulse.”
This story—I heard it from the doctor himself, David Mackereth—illustrates a salient point about what I call the Thing, that combination of postmodern identity theory, religious fervor, pseudo-therapeutic “empathy,” dogmatic moralism, private bullying, and ritualized public humiliation which has swept through Western societies over the last decade. The Thing may seem an irresistible force, but in truth, it can only take possession of an institution if that institution has already lost its identity.
If an organization knows and cherishes its history, if it empowers its members, if they understand their role in society, their vocation and contribution to the common good—then it is significantly less likely to be captured by the Thing.
But when you talk to people in the National Health Service, or the labor movement, or the police, you hear an eerily similar account of what has happened: a forgetting of the social role that used to give that institution meaning; a transfer of power from those on the front line to a remote administrative class; vocation edged out by bureaucracy; pronouns instead of pulses.

Our not so distant dystopian future. Your Democrat friends and relatives support it and vote for it.
I’m watching Glenn Younkin make an ass of himself kissing butt on a CNN town hall.
My lefty Sister calls Bruce Jenner, Caitlyn.
It’s been rumored that Bruce Jenner has been arrested for molesting Caitlyn!!
Even now, the Virginia Democrats are importing various rigging methods from states like Michigan, Georgia and Arizona to steamroll Youngkin's anointed successor in 2023.
2025, not 2023...
Pay particular attention to verses 11 & 12
2 Thessalonians 2:7-12
King James Version
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

A person can call themselves what they want, so that’s fine. They own their name.
But the pronoun crap is a disaster and evil.
Stormy Daniels?
Don't worry. Caitlyn pulled a "Lorena Bobbitt" and sliced off Bruce's junk.
Britain got ‘swallowed’ long before this allowing foreigner passport holders of former possessions to enter.

Don’t be too quick to shovel the dirt on to our casket. Yes, the nonsense has inundated the likes of the BBC and the Met (Metropolitan London police) for years. Out in the boonies it ia a different story. I live in Lincolnshire, heartland and most loyal shire to the Crown, and we don’t buy that crap. My wife and I meet hundreds of people in the course of a month and not one buys that drivel. Out in the real England attitudes and outlook is not much different from 1940. You might call us antiquated Philistines; we don’t care. The BBC might as well be on Mars, the Met’s sole function is to house would-be criminals who don’t have the brass to turn outlaw, and colleges and universities are nurseries for the indoctrination of those with no common sense, ne’er do wells, and wannabes. The average English man or woman disdains Parliment and its propaganda arms. The cities are blue or purple, the countryside is red. It’s said of Lincolnshire lads, “They chew flint and spit lead.”

Good to hear! Had a very pleasant visit to the UK last year, Cambridge and then to Scotland. Loved it.
Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that Jenner still has his junk.
