Some of the most aggressive cultural propaganda today is coming from magazines for teenagers. The biggest crusade is about sex (yes, as soon as possible) and gender, where biology is completely negotiable, and incorrect or bizarre pronouns are nonnegotiable.
Teen Vogue Digital Editorial Director Phil Picardi declared: "For the past year or so, we've made a concerted effort to limit (and, eventually, banish) heteronormativity from all of our content ... we use gender neutral pronouns in almost all contexts. Our readers have appreciated the shift, and often help police our language."
Likewise, Seventeen magazine Executive Editor Joey Bartolomeo announced, "We want Seventeen to be a magazine where all girls feel represented and included, regardless of their sexual identities." The new orthodoxy was installed when the magazine posted a video on June 26 headlined "Trans Students Explain Why Pronouns Are Important."
First, a girl named Leah Juliett announces, "Just because I present more femme, doesn't mean I'm any less they/them." Another girl with the name C Mandler -- let's guess that using a period after C is a troglodyte move -- recounts telling her family over snacks: "Hey, guys. I'm non-binary. I don't have a gender."
Then the Facebook video stops -- for an ad break. Who says these propaganda lessons for children can't make a few bucks on the side? The advertisers included Hewlett-Packard, New York Life and WP Engine.

Juliett explains gender deconstruction in astrological terms: "In my opinion, gender is a universe. It is a broad spectrum of planets and stars and sky that truly cannot be contained into a binary. ... So when someone identifies with a pronoun, they're essentially taking their little piece of that broad universe and identifying with that." By using the "correct pronouns," you are "validating that yes, you are right in your identity, and you are important, and we are respecting you."
Validation of this nonsense is mandatory. Gender identity can change on a whim, but it must be deeply honored at all times. The transgender and "genderqueer" humans seem to live in a higher universe, a self-selected class of victims of pronoun-abusing "society."
Mandler continues the tale of snack time with family. She proclaims: "My pronouns are they, them, theirs, and that's a nonnegotiable, and they were all kind of like, 'OK.' ... I know, personally, when I get misgendered by strangers, it's one thing, but it's especially painful when it's people who are close to you. So when my parents misgender me, it's a knife in my heart because they're the people whose opinions matter more to me than anybody else's."
Obviously, the family's opinions do not matter. Only her opinion matters, and only validation is acceptable. She cannot imagine the possibility that parents who brought home a baby daughter might feel pain at this rejection of biology.
Juliett even takes exception to the term "preferred pronouns." They're not a preference; they're like a vital organ! She says: "It's also not a preference; it's who they are. You need to use those pronouns! It's literally an extension of my arm or my leg. It's just as much a part of me as a vital organ. My identity, although you can't see it, still needs to be validated just as much as you would validate the fact that I have five fingers or five toes."
The last metaphor the gender deniers should use is body parts to suggest that their pronouns are as defining as fingers and toes ... or breasts and genitals.
Ok I was just trying to get the visual right in my head
Propaganda was the Teen Vogue agenda, not even pretending to be about fashion. Every year, there’s a “green issue” which was a issue that provides a soapbox to enviro-nuts pushing the hothouse hoax.
A “young hollywood” issue that pushed new leftist movies. Sob stories about poor little teens “just like you” who can’t wear their headcovers to school or can’t find a safe space after they got to Europe from some third world country. I could go on.
The worst offender was that overweight grotesque effeminate ostensibly male creature—their featured “reporter” hugging and being buddies with whatever young teen was featured that month. Admittedly it’s been awhile since I’ve flipped through one of those nasty rags...
At least CNN cannot claim that I took her out of context
For teen drag queens?
“The transgender and “genderqueer” humans seem to live in a higher universe...”
The “pronoun crusade”, being led by the gender-neutral liberal anomaly, is in denial of nature.
Liberals like to quote evolution as being undeniable science, yet they will deny the nature of the “different genders”.
Political correctness can’t undo what nature wrought (with God’s direction) have created. They’re deluding themselves.
I teach classes at a California college. We're beginning to get emails now from 'newer' employees, which are being signed as follows (thankfully our existing faculty have not felt pressured to mimic this idiocy yet - but it's clear there's a campaign on to mainstream it):
Shannon K., Office of Professional Development
Identity Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
So what do our poor Latino/Latina Bros/Siss do.
That have that intolerant language that requires gender article agreement.
El, La, Los, Las and so on.
So what is the Mexican language for CIS?
These pronoun anarchists have a lot of work to do.
That is an incredible story. Thanks for sharing.
I’m trying to come with a way to put the identity bit in my tagline, but in a way that’s obviously sarcastic... I’m working on it!
Now wouldn’t a teen girl be offended and oppressed if we called her “he” or “it”? Or even the reverse if it were a modern sensitive teen guy?
I’d love to see someone try to write down who is entitled to be offended, what they should be called, justified violence, etc...
You may call me: early for dinner.
