Sue for discrimination, then donate the winnings to an anti-trans, anti-insanity organization.

Every institution is a target. Control the institutions control the narrative. Orwell had no clue how bad it could actually get.

Pronouns are more important than work. Time to retire.

Communist Rules for Revolution:

3. Divide people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alinsky’s Rules:

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am very careful to whom I give money and to which organizations are in my will. Obviously, though not there now, this organization will never see a dime (pun).

You’d think people with MS would have enough on their plate already without getting a sex-change operation.

“.. because you did not understand why someone who is a woman needs to have the words she/her in their email signature.”

I don’t understand that “need”, either. All I need to know is to avoid anyone who feels that need.

Elder abuse, age discrimination, the old matriarch probably can’t remember all the pronouns that are being thrown at her... but names, which she is used to, and has been since her childhood, probably work for her.

This is another example of complete disregard and belligerence towards those other than the dysphori. Total BS, insanity on display.

Around where I live it’s sweety, and honey, or baby.... it’s a southern thang.

“Pass the biscuits please” “Here ya go sweety” “Thankya”

Apparently the need to prove that they are all on board with all this LGBT business overrides other considerations.

I used to participate in the MS150 bike tour. Over the years I raised over $20,000 for them. I quit when I moved and the nearby tour wasn’t run very well.

Plus my lack of training really paid off on my last 100 mile ride.

Back then they were typical liberal non-profit. Nice people and slightly misguided. If the current story is accurate, they’ve gone as bonkers as the rest.

Reward them with your non-donations.

Take the recent news from the Chronicle of Philanthropy that nonprofits are now hiring and promoting development staff without regard to their ability to raise money. As an example, consider C. Nathan Harris, who was recently hired for a fundraising job at the Oregon Food Bank. In an interview, he “was asked if he had ever developed an innovative approach to fundraising work. His answer: “putting less emphasis on financial goals for fundraisers as a measure of success and more on human-focused measures like relationships with supporters.”

Focusing on relationships with supporters is hardly an innovation in the world of fundraising. But Harris apparently described his philosophy using a lyric from the Broadway musical Rent: “How do you measure a year? What about love?” Since he got the job, Harris has set out to make his team of development officers feel better, even if it’s at the expense of actually raising money. Because what’s more important is getting a diverse fundraising staff, he explains. “If we’re managing staff to financial outcomes, that results in a profession that is less diverse, that is hostile to women, and that generates burnout,” Harris says.


“Take the recent news from the Chronicle of Philanthropy that nonprofits are now hiring and promoting development staff without regard to their ability to raise money.”

They will sort themselves out if we are responsible with our giving.

Personally, I am looking more and more of investing in the Kingdom. In the local community. Have sold some property on contract to people worthy of risk.

I don’t think volunteering can sue. But it is a crap decision.

Pronouns are used in lieu of proper names. My preferred pronoun is either: 1) dcbryant1, 2) mr. dcbryant1, or 3) bad motherf****er.

She could try. A lawyer would at least give her advice.
