After this P.C.-mad missive came across my computer, I just had to write a response.
My company provides services to insurance carriers. Recently, a large, nationally operational third-party administrator issued a directive, excerpts of which I have included.
Hello Team,
We wanted to send out a note regarding this, as the Carriers do not want to see the word "tranny" or "trans" manually entered when referring to a transmission or transmission fluid as it is a Political Correctness issue. We understand that it has been used for a while and is considered industry slang however, in today's society it can rub some the wrong way and create legal issues. Please be make sure going forward you are not using these slangs on your estimate.
If you have any questions, please let us know. Thank you.
After about three minutes of thoughtful consideration, I dashed off the following in response.
In a world of insane hyper-sensitivity, wouldn't the phrase "rub some the wrong way" also have sexual overtones for those sad people that have nothing better to do than see if they can figure out a way to be offended? Instead, normal, high-functioning people ought to rise up and tell that sad 1% of the easily offended to go and piss up a rope. Tired of the P.C. BS.
Having been in business for over 35 years, I can afford to make such pronouncements in protest to a world gone crazy. I do so on behalf of all of the younger people and their fledgling businesses who are afraid to stand up to this nonsense and fight back.

In my case a man could not risk being alone with a woman in the workplace because the man would be terminated at the slightest whispers about “me too”, but homosexual men could hit on other (straight) men and no one in management was willing to do anything to address complaints.
.
For now on, refer to transmissions as “twinks.”
No, a straight man gets fired for rejecting the homo’s pass.
It would be far more helpful to identify the person by name and title who wrote that directive.
Trany fluid is now Gender Neutral Shift Juice.
Great point MtnClimber! And, being from Colorado myself I LOVE your home page.
An acquaintance of mine is a teacher. A week and a half ago, a second grade student came up to him at recess, all upset about something. He spoke with her and she hugged him. He hugged her in return. Unfortunately, a Karen, another teacher in the schoolyard, saw this and reported him. In this era of CCP-Coronavirus hypersensitivity, he was suspended, pending an investigation.
“It would be far more helpful to identify the person by name and title who wrote that directive.”
Agree. Doxing can work both ways. It is far past time to start making these leftists afraid to go to sleep at night. It’s either that or bend over and assume the Dorkbama position for whomever or whatever comes along.
We are not doing our job if leftists can sleep.
My recommendation is for all Tran-sexuals to drink transmission fluid to help achieve the transformation process quicker.
I never met with anyone unless my office door was open.
We need to reclaim the American language. Start in your own home, extend it to your friends, extend it to the workplace. Pick one or two people at work that are conservatives and just talk normal. That could be outside the workplace at first, but move it into the workplace and expand to other people. Make it so that the company cannot afford to fire you and your friends. If that can’t be done, find a new job somewhere, perhaps a small business. Speak the American language as it was intended in the interview. Be explicit that you are not PC or woke and will not work in such a place. Controlling your language is mind control. You will have none of it. Lastly, demand your elected representatives to get a backbone and fight this crap. They should be leading the way.
That is terrible!
Feigned hypersensitivity.
Engineering business was slow one time, so I was working at a convenience store. One customer was a flaming homosexual, but no big deal, he should get the same courtesy as any other customer.
He had purchased quite a few items so I said “Let me get a bag for that.”
He had a meltdown and accused me of calling him a fag. I got reprimanded.
Back to engineering. I was working with one engineer originally from the Soviet Union. He had been a major help in solving a multi variable control scheme. I had said “Bolshoi spasi bo”, which translated to “big thank you.”
Some offended third party walking by claimed that I had insulted him by saying “bull$$$$ spastic boy”. I nearly got fired.
Does the author of the article, Bob Kingsley, work for a company that provides services to insurance carriers?
The blurb at the bottom of the article says:
“Bob Kingsley is an entrepreneur and writer from upstate N.Y. Read more of his work at bobkingsley.com.”
Which is it, Bob works for a company that provides services to insurance carriers, or is an enterpreneur that writes articles?
His article makes it sound like he and his co-workers frequently deal with auto parts failures and claims relating to that (thus the letter from the 3rd party about the usage of certain slang terms.)
Can’t use gearbox, or stick it in gear.
He who controls the language controls the culture and politics. Communism is rising, Find Podcast No. 276 and listen to Drago near the end of the podcast warn of it.
At some point in the near future, a list of banned words will be longer than the list of appropriate or usable words. At that point, punt.
That word may also be proscribed at some point also.
Of course, as a dreaded DWEM (Dead White European Male), PC requires us to immediately discard this truism as a sign of the overweighted patrimony and cultural supremacy!
To which I scream, remember how revolutions eat their own children. Marat, Robespierre and Saint Just all died by violence from reaction against their own extremism!
