The girl on Billions wanted to be called “they”
It was so disconcerting to listen to how that changed the conversations in the show.

These must be the people in charge of twisting the language in order to twist the society.

The word of the decade is "like." Just listen to any conversation and see how many times it is used, almost every fifth or sixth word. Hannity is addicted to it. Listen and you cannot miss it in any conversation. It is as if we have become almost illiterate, uncultered.

One thing interesting about the transgender population is that the vast majority of ‘transgender’ surgeries done are not genital surgery (only ~0.5%). I wonder what that means?

Linguists should give us a list of all the words we are no longer allowed to use so we can see how anti-linguistic linguists are.

Are these designations intended to be good or bad? Maybe neither but, to me, they just further demonstrate the deterioration of the language and the culture.

Doesn’t calling an individual “they” imply there are multiple personalities residing in them. I think they used to call this schizophrenia.
