Youtube ^ | February 8, 2024 | Libs of tiktok

National MS Society makes a 90-year-old volunteer step down because she wasn’t “inclusive” enough. Her crime was asking what pronouns are after she was required to start using them. Fran was a volunteer for 60 years and her late husband had MS.

Organizations that focus on “crap” like this instead of their chartered / defined purpose, are basically admitting they are irrelevant.

I raised money for the MS Society running the Boston Marathon years ago; I got pledges per mile from a bunch of friends and acquaintances. I’m afraid I’ll have to withhold donations from here on.

Nat MS Society - another corrupt money monster

They advised to get the ChiComWuHu kill shot with ZERO cautions or restrictions. cuz “Science!”

It’s not like MS wrecks the immune system enough, ya gotta get a shot of mystery juice to wreck it some more.

The March through the Institutions proceeds unabated.

While it wasn’t a paid position, it certainly looks like she has a good discrimination lawsuit she can file. Of course, it won’t do anything but hurt the organization, but maybe that’s what it will take for these bastards to get the hint.

“Her crime was asking what pronouns are”

I suspect she has been using pronouns since she learned to speak.

We are SO doomed.

Poor lady studied pronouns EIGHTY years ago and asks “What’s a pronoun?”

Answer: “You’re fired. We don’t give a fig about your 60 years of selfless service or yours dead husband’s MS.”

How the HELL can we end this lunacy? Why does every organization and institution get infected by this horrible woke disease?

At the same time, the College of Pediatrics announces a study that there is NO SUCH THING as “gender affirming care” and such efforts harm the victims of it. We should conclude that, if the College of Pediatrics says “don’t indulge them” on medical grounds, then there is no need for oddball “pronouns” and all the people who push this crap should be brought up on charges.

Local charities run by people you know are solid is the only way to go these days.

My wife cooks meals for poor elderly church members in our community.

They are so grateful—she is an amazing cook.

She probably has; but that doesn’t mean she understood them as such or, more importantly, that she understood this whole new ‘thing’ of unnatural usage.

Very inclusive, assholes.

Seems to me they were looking for an excuse to exclude her (probably age discrimination) and this seemed like a good one.

Simple reply:

“I have the freedom to speak the words that I choose.
I do not have the right to compel you to listen to my words.
You have the freedom to not listen to my words.
You do not have the right to compel me to use the words that you choose.”
