The European Union has just run crosswise with Captain James T. Kirk, and by any measure the Captain is right to blast Europe’s left-wing, nanny state, cancel culture, loons for their latest “diversity” move.
This week, news broke that the EU — which apparently stands for Entirely Useless — is looking to make the world safe from evil “gendered” words, like man, male, guys, and anything testosterone related, The Telegraph reported.
This impinges directly on one of Captain Kirk’s most famous lines, the one that serves as the opening monologue to the famed 1966 series, “Star Trek.”
TV viewers and sci fi fans everywhere will recall that the iconic TV series starts out with views of the Starship Enterprise zooming across the screen as Captain Kirk intones “Space, the final frontier,” and ends his soliloquy with “to boldly go where no man has gone before.”
But the EU is suddenly all shook up over that evil word “man” and is now sending out its royal edict that the word should henceforth be banned from use.
According to the Telegraph, “The classic ”Star Trek’ line, ‘To boldly go where no man has gone before,’ is also cited as an example where ‘women may be subject to invisibility or omission.'”
William Shatner, who briefly actually reached space during a Blue Origin flight in 2021, is the man who so ably portrayed Captain James T. Kirk, and he is not amused.
With news of the new authoritarian mandate, Shatner, who often blasts the childish, left-wing, social justice warrior trolls online, jumped to his X account to blast the legislators.
“Presentism at work yet again,” he said in his Monday post.
“Why start at Trek? Isn’t it better to start at the beginning and redo foundation material such as the Magna Carta, religious writings,

This only proves that leftists cannot be trusted at all.
There going to have to replace the plaque left on the moon by Apollo 11. Oh...Neil Armstrong’s first words on stepping on the moon are going to tick them off.
“One small step for man. One giant leap for mankind.”
so said the first man on the moon.
There are ELCA feminazi priestesses who want to change the Lord’s Prayer to that version!
And they may not like the word “Lord” either!
Even this recommendation is nuts: saying “queen and king” instead of saying “king and queen,”
I’m shaking my head in disbelief.
Is such a thing even possible? Yes, it is.
Time was, people could understand that Humanity and Mankind were the same. Mankind is shortened to just Man. A Man would refer to a Male.
It’s the English language. Some words are homonyms.
You can rename yourself every 20 years or so, like black people do, but it isn’t going to change who you are. We can also just keep changing language incessantly and I think we’ll end up only being able to quote Mao and not Shakespeare.
That contains two non-PC terms--maybe three if you include "giant":
"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."

Dear EU.

Look, they want to shoot us all anyway, so why not just go down swinging and miss gender the whole lot of them
Lol! Blast from the past!
They should ban the show because of the split infinitive.
I'm not sure if "cognitive dissonance" is the right term here, maybe it's "can't see the forest for the trees"?
I don't know. What I do know is, everybody is freakin' insane these days. Worrying about stupid nothings and ignoring the very dangerous crap that is in front of our eyes.
A lot of the other actors got jealous when he quickly emerged as the “star” of the show. Ankle biters....
So are they homonymphobic?
(I guess their problem is really with God.)
With all these groups.....
.....it is, ultimately.

John 15:17-19
21st Century King James Version
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
