The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) National Convention in Georgia this weekend came to a screeching halt when one delegate formally complained of "sensory overload" from "guys" whispering in the room -- prompting another "comrade" to grab the microphone to angrily demand an immediate end to the use of "gendered language."
The back-to-back moments of impassioned hypersensitivity at the gathering of the largest socialist organization in the United States led to bipartisan mockery from commentators, who compared the scene to something out of the sitcom "The Office."
"Uh, quick point of personal privilege, um guys," began one delegate, who identified himself as James Jackson from Sacramento, and specified that he uses the "he/him" personal pronouns.
As soon as Jackson said the word "guys," an individual in the audience could be seen becoming visibly irate in a livestream video of the convention posted online.

I don’t think I’ve seen anything so hilarious — and disturbing...
...well, considering today’s socialists, maybe not.
You are right: it’s both hilarious and disturbing.
These people are seriously mentally ill.
The liberal snowflakes are ensuring that those who listen to their pablum will be the losers in life and the civil war if it comes to that.
These little hypersensitive twits think they will achieve “more equal” status when in truth they will be purged right along with you and me. What little snotburgers they are.
How do they get out of bed in the afternoon?
It’s the Special Olympics of politics. It’s nice that they try, and I’m glad there is an outlet where these people can play. But they can’t seriously expect to play with the Big Boys.
They demand we walk on efgshells around crazies and they end up frozen in their own ice.
I wonder how long this nonsense will continue.
Soft Little Pony emotional safety blankets were in swag bags for every....person....in attendance.
These little socialists would be used by the Bolsheviks and then disappeared when their usefulness ended.
Especially the snowflake with sensory overload.
Many of the members of Congress are part of the DSA although they stopped running the list of who was in DSA a while ago.
It’s a Cult.
“You HAVE to go and view the short videos in the article.”
Yup. There are more sane people in an asylum.
Kooks & comrades.
This isn’t an Onion article?
Kids actually joined the fighting forces & these twats are arguing about gender usage. Funny & tragic.
Gendered language is the only thing these idiots have to worry about ? LOL
I wasn’t present but back in the late 1990s a professional organization (technical) was doing a training video. It was being taped at a university. In the course of the video, the presenter referred to molecules of gas as “these guys....” It was something like “these guys are in constant motion” or something similar. They got through the taping but then a reviewer took exception to the sexist terminology and the whole effort was scrapped.
