The House of Representatives goes woke
American Thinker ^ | 2 Jan, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 01/02/2021 5:04:32 AM PST by MtnClimber

In true Orwellian fashion, the House of Representatives is abandoning the clarity of the traditional English language and embracing woke language.

One of the most despicable things that the wokesters are pushing on America is “non-gendered language.” It’s one thing to do away with work-related descriptions that focus unnecessarily on a person’s sex. For example, nobody sane cares if the person chairing a committee is a “chairman” or a “chairwoman.” It’s another thing entirely to do away with language that accurately describes a person’s biological reality. A daughter is not a son and vice versa. Nevertheless, bowing before the radical gender lobby, the Democrat-led House is preparing to do just that.

According to an announcement from Speaker Nancy Pelosi and James McGovern (D-Mass), the Rules Committee Chairman, the proposed rules for the 117th Congress will mandate that any words acknowledging biological reality will henceforth be forbidden. Of course, the Democrats didn’t state matters so bluntly, but that’s the import of the announcement.

In their joint press release, Pelosi and McGovern provided an overview of their proposed rules package. Most of it is political gobbledygook that we all know is untrue. If you want a laugh, read about the claim that the new package “prioritizes ethics and accountability in the People’s House.” But specifically, with respect to the English language, the Democrat duo announced:

It promotes inclusion and diversity. That includes changes that would: establish the Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth; require standing committees to include in their oversight plans a discussion of how committee work over the forthcoming Congress will address issues of inequities on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or national origin; honor all gender identities by changing pronouns and familial relationships...

They are using force to make everyone else live in their fake reality.

I doubt that Pelosi has the votes to pass this “rules change”.

Sexual orientation? They could guide their hands down between their legs and recognize what they find...an innie or an outie. What’s so hard about that?

The left can selectively use gender language to “cancel” their enemies because everyone has a gender and there is no way to avoid it. It is the new racism.

Give em an inch and they always take a mile.... or more.

That’s why you never concede any ground with people of that calibre.

Heard about this yesterday. I’m disgusted by it.

Eventually the Republicans will retake the house (assuming fraudulent voting will be restricted in future elections). I wonder if they will have the backbone to reverse these crazy left-wing ideas.

Someone once said, “You get the government we deserve.” And from what I’ve seen of our nation of late, we deserve it..!

Yes, they are very clever with their PSYOPS, eh?

If the demorepub house wants to pass that 'woke' bulldung and if the Senate passes it after the demorepubs take control there soon, if President Fraud signs that when Commiela assumes the presidency, if the courts are all in agreement that there was no election fraud in 2020 (just as AG Bagpipe said), and the people are in agreement (judging by their lack of a pitchfork march on DC) with all of the above then I suppose we will be moving into an era of 'wokeness!'

I have to admit though that I am getting a feeling that I am living in a 'twilight zone' that I never, ever in my wildest imagination thought that the country would be in. God help us...

I think Nancy is behind the curve on this fad.
More people are speaking up about the absurdities and legal problems this will create.

We no longer need take our cultural cues from England any longer. They are doing this largely due to being past members of the EU.

Being “Woke” is having the mental agility to believe things that are not true. The “Wokesters” are living in fake reality and will use force to make others comply with their unreality.

“People’s House?” That sounds racist. Should be “Hu-— Species House”.
