Nouns have gender, people have SEX. Except married people just remember when they used to have sex.

Best way to solve the gender neutral bathroom problem and locker-room issue, is for the real men to stand up. Next time you see a facility labeled as such go in and piss on the seat then lower the lid and piss all over it then make sure you have lots of good shacks left to get it all over the walls and floor.

Post # 10 - So now, apparently, any a-hole can “be” a veteran because “they feel like” a veteran.

I’m a veteran of the war on stupidity! So, bury me at Arlington!

Grammar and word usage are fluid, and do, in fact, differ throughout the English speaking world. I believe that preference or dislike for the word "gender" as a descriptive of being biologically male or biologically female is regional. It is genuinely curious to me that anyone can object to the word "gender" being used for male and female, especially since I have never physically met any person who objects to that use of the word. Whereas, to me, it is borderline offensive to use the word "sex" in that context. Sex is something you keep to yourself and do not discuss in public.

I also find it offensive that liberals are trying to cast gender as something that is just a mental state, when it most clearly is not, any more than being human, tall, short, fat, thin, are mental states. I only wish biology could be changed simply by deciding it is different--I'd be twenty pounds thinner, taller, and non-arthritic in a heartbeat.

If my wife ever comes out of a “ladie’s” room screaming because there is a biological freak in there, someone is going to get their skull cracked open by the closest thing I can pick up.

Sounds like just another scheme to root out white privilege since them damned jive honkies volunteer for military service in disproportionate numbers.

Terms of antiquity like “the fairer sex” are employed, not “the fairer gender”. Such distinctions support reaganaut’s original contention.

Just google any government form (pre-2010), for example a passport. It doesn’t have an entry for “gender” as M or F, but rather has an entry for “sex”.

Only with modern language bastardization have we adopted the term “gender” to mean “what sex you pretend to be [today]”; that is, a subjective rather than objective term. More post-modern deconstructionism. God save us.

Where ‘Bathroom choice” is law, men should go into the ladies room and pee all over the seats.

As I have already said, I think that the objection to using the word “gender” to mean the person’s biological gender is regional.

According to the Oxford dictionary, the word has had that meaning since the 14th century.

What I notice in the dictionaries is that now they are corrupting the word to make it connote a social construct, rather than a biological description. THAT is part of the same insanity we have been dealing with throughout this presidency. Liberals have misused the language ever since I can remember, changing it in order to change the way people think. For instance, notice how they never use the word “illegal” in front of immigrant? That is a purposeful effort to shape peoples’ thoughts to prevent them from making any distinction between legal and illegal immigrants.

“They essentially want everyone to engage in a mass delusion because it makes delusional people feel better.”

Liberalism defined. Beautifully done.
