Common sense seems to have eluded those who placed the following hypersensitive editor's note on an article in the UCLA student newspaper about gender inequality in health care. The author's argument for free or government subsidized tampons was silly to begin with but the note placed it way over the top.
Editor’s note: This blog post refers to individuals who menstruate as women because the author wanted to highlight gender inequality in health care. We acknowledge that not all individuals who menstruate identify as women and that not all individuals who identify as women menstruate, but feel this generalization is appropriate considering the gendered nature of most health care policies.
As might be expected, this excess of sensitivity to the transsexual community caused the Daily Bruin to be treated as a laughingstock by many.
That also happened last week to the organizers of the Free Pride event to be held in August in Glasgow, Scotland. Because some transgendered people have expresses discomfort around men who identify as men and cross dress, the organizers announced they would not be booking any drag acts as entertainment for their event. Here is what they said about their decision.
We would like to reaffirm that this is not to say that we do not want gender expression, which we do encourage, at our event. We encourage everyone to wear what they want and express their gender however they please! There will be no policing of peoples gender identity. We will be re-enforcing our safer spaces policy at the event and asking that no-one assume anyone else’s gender and remember to always ask pronouns.

More nonsense verging on insanity from the PC Left.
Hello, entity. Will you be having male pronouns today?
ping for later
This reminds me of all the pregnant men stories, women who say they are men but retain the biological organs AND functionality to be pregnant, all while saying “I’m a man”.
They are self destructing already. This is not a bad thing.
