Elton John discovers that even coronavirus won’t stop the pronoun wars

One of the constants in social media posts from or emails between conservatives is the hope that the coronavirus pandemic will knock the underpinnings from gender madness. The reasoning behind this hope is that the “gender is a social construct” theory was the luxury of a safe, affluent society. With people feeling insecure about both their physical safety and their economic security, “wokeness” will be exposed for the frivolous nonsense it really is and quickly recede.

The slop grammar of the word WOKE is a metaphor for the whole movement.

People thought 9/11 would make us less frivolous and more responsible.

Didn't happen.

Cisheteronormative is a word?????

Only to those people of dubious mental health. As soon as this pronoun nonsense started, I decided to be a "refuse-nik". I find these, so called, words to be total nonsense. Even figuring out how to pronounce them was a puzzle to me. And there are so many of them, who can remember them all.

So, I am an advocate of refusing to use these idiotic "pronouns" that some weirdo professor someplace came up with. No, won't do it!

People don't "key" people with rainbow stickers on their cars, but they'll sure as heck key one with a Trump sticker.

Gender is grammar.

Sex is biology.

Completely unrelated.

Liberal states are coining these ridiculous terms and are making them “legal” via LGBTQ laws.

That’s a fact, Jack...the Left has always been the vile side of the equation....while claiming “moral superiority”...like there’s something morally superior to acts of violence and vandalism.

Calling a non-binary person “He” instead of “They” is an act of cisheteronormative violence.

Last time I heard someone say “cisheteronormative”, I told them to quit using slurs.

On what basis does someone think they have the authority to dictate the terms of a conversation they are not involved in?

[JimRed]

There are three genders: F, M and Q(ueer) with M and F subsets of Q.

A man who lops off his penis is still a man.

A genetic male, but not a man.
