When it comes to the topic of sexual harassment the liberal left will shout at the top of their lungs that the only thing that matters is the perception of the person who says the harassment took place.
A person's perception is then a valid concept both in fact and in law for the liberal left.
Which is why I say that I do not have any "personal pronouns" because pronouns are how other people refer to me based upon their perfectly legitimate perceptions. In general everyone I know refers to me with she/her pronouns.
But why?
It isn't because I put those pronouns on my every email, my every post on the internet, I don't use them with my signature, in fact I've never not once ever told someone how to refer to me.
They call me a woman and they call me she/her because that's their perception of me. And isn't their perception valid both in fact and in law? Who am I to dictate how someone else sees me and interprets what they see?
And what they see and how they interpret what they see is how they select their pronouns for referring to me.
Now if someone referred to me as he/him then they're not wrong.
That's right. I utterly refuse to accuse anyone of the fashionable crime of 'misgendering' me.
Because if someone perceives me as a man then that's not their problem, it's mine. If I don't want to be perceived as a man then I should take more care that people see me as a woman.
Likewise, if some guy who used to win in the Olympics puts on a dress, has breast implants, and is still built like a male athlete people might not perceive him as a woman. Wise people never will.
Wise people will not lie to themselves and call a man a woman when he is clearly no such thing. They will not call a woman a man when she cuts off her boobs, takes hormones to grow a beard, and ends up looking like Rachel Maddow. That's just an ugly woman with a beard.
This is my point is to refuse the lie that someone else gets to dictate what you see and how you interpret what you see. They are trying to dictate what you think.
Take back your pronouns for 2024. They're all YOUR pronouns and YOU own them!
LOL!
We could just call each other Comrade.
My dog ate my pronouns and now he/she/its everywhere!
Love it!!!! I might have gone with “Supreme Ruler” or “Universal Law-giver.”
That’s why I always had to work for myself, my wife worked in the corporate world and always said I wouldn’t last through the first staff meeting.
Stealing!
I’ve read that there are a LOT of unclean spirits roaming the Earth nowadays and it would suck to have one or more attach itself or themselves onto some poor unsuspecting and perhaps sympathetic person.
If such a spirit was a stronger personality, it could cause that poor soul some serious confusion and major distress in some bizarre inner fight for power and identity, resulting in all the sexual, gender bending madness we are witnessing now in so many people everywhere.
Seems very end of times to me and it seems to be happening now in our times.
Take back your mink
Take back your pearls
What made you think
That I was one of those girls?
Take back the gown
The gloves and the hat
I may be down
But I’m not flat as all that.

“I wouldn’t last through the first staff meeting.”
The words “staff meeting” trigger a visceral reaction in my stomach, even after being retired for 15 years.
I suggest that if anyone feels compelled to use someone’s preferred pronoun because not doing so could result in some severe punishment, such as losing a job, then consider using scare quotes.
Scare quotes in writing usually mean putting the word in question in quotation marks. For example, I graded “her” paper and “she” earned an A. Similarly, making the peace sign with both hands indicates scare quotes. In other words, these are someone else’s words that you are merely quoting.
A one-handed peace sign may be enough to convey the thought. Or, even merely emphasizing the pronoun. For example, “That was herrrrr assignment”.
Right now, Cher's other kid is cracking up.
Or you can just kick “her” in “her” balls.
“There are plenty of first-person pronouns that would refer to your person. I/me/my to get started”
Agreed. But if those were my “personal pronouns” I’d be insisting that you refer to me as “I/me/my” in place of ‘she’ or ‘her’.
Which is nonsensical.
And that’s my point.
Me, grabbing loot around here!
Any demonic spirit is going to have a stronger personality than a human.
People without Jesus have no defense against the attacks of the enemy.
I’ve said this many times. Pronouns belong to the person speaking...not to the person being spoken of. Don’t dictate to me my speech.
We suffer from demonic influences and some choose to be lead by them. This has always been so, but much more so the further/farther we get from God and certainly so in the end of these times as foretold.
Believers know that Jesus is the Answer to all such problems.
In these times, I’m trying to be an observer of, but not a participant in, the world as much as I can be.
No expert here, so I don’t know the difference between demonic spirits and unclean spirits, or what you call the lost souls roaming among the living, who, for whatever reason, didn’t go into the light (or whatever happens when we die and leave the body) and go to God.
Knowing that I lack discernment and that I’m still learning, I try to remain open to the Holy Spirit’s instruction and am refraining from judging so I don’t inadvertently call a good thing a bad thing.
