Maybe complete and total inclusivity isn’t as easy as it sounds. The organizers of Free Pride Glasgow in Scotland have hit a snag in their mission to plan a totally inclusive event: Some activists think drag queens are offensive to transgender people, others think banning drag queens is offensive to transgender drag queens, and still others think allowing only transgender drag queens is offensive to cisgender drag queens.

One just can’t keep up with the changes in the political correctness rules day by day. Lefties must have constant whiplash.

National Review, which, as far as I know, doesn’t usually do parody.

Well, at least not on purpose.

[MaxMax]

I just bust a gut when I see that. Hilarious.

Isn't a "pride" event offensive to devotees of the other six deadly sins?

To be inclusive they need to call it a Seven Deadly Sins Event.

That idea just pisses me off. Well, I'm wrathful now... who's got the other five?

I'm reminded of an episode where Klinger is offered a sex change by a visiting doctor.

Klinger: If two doctors will sign a form, I'll be able to go home. And so far, I've got all but both of them.

Visiting Doctor: You know, I may be able to help you.

Klinger: Oh, you can? You mean it?

Visiting Doctor: Yeah, well, I have a colleague in Copenhagen who does sex-change operations.

Klinger: - Yeah? What's that?

Visiting Doctor: Well, you would finally be transformed into a woman. It's very sophisticated surgery, but, uh, it's possible.

Klinger: You mean, somebody You mean, take a knife and and

Visiting Doctor: Yeah.

Klinger: They're crazier than I am!

I did not know that. Maybe I’ll be following her too.

I wonder if sooner or later I am going to have to identify myself as a ciswhite cismale cisheterosexual transciscatholic* to avoid subjecting anyone to a micro-aggressive attack.

I think eventually we are going to have to add four new terms to our dictionary:

1. cistrans- someone who has a trans identity, but has always been comfortable expressing it.
2. transtrans- someone who has a trans identity but has not always been comfortable expressing it.
3. transcis- someone who once had or thought they had a trans identity but does not anymore
4. ciscis- someone who has never had a transidentity.

I would put a close parody tag, but I suspect that like The Onion** this will be reality.

*I had once considered conversion to another religion.

I forgot to add, I am cisvested (never wore womens’ clothing.).

[Jack Hammer]

Here’s one possible solution: let everyone march completely nude with their weenies hanging out.

Then no one will know who’s who.

WTH does “cisgender” mean? I’ve seen the term a few times but never a definition.

[Cooter]

[informavoracious]

I think it means you identify as the sex you were born with. If a male, you can be cisgender and heterosexual or cisgender and homosexual.
