Poll: Most Americans Believe Children Should Not Be Able to Choose ‘Preferred Pronoun’
Breitbart ^ | 06.01.2022 | Breccan F. Thies

Most Americans believe children should not be able to choose their own “preferred pronoun” that does not align with their biological sex, according to new polling.

A late May Harvard-Harris poll found that 59 percent of Americans believe children should be called the pronoun that aligns with their biological sex, and 60 percent believe preferred pronouns are an “excessive measure that does more to confuse kids about their sex.”

Conversely, 41 percent of Americans believe “kids should be able to pick their pronouns” and 40 percent believe calling children by those pronouns “prevents discrimination.”

The only three demographic groups that maintain a majority for thinking children should be called by preferred pronouns are Democrats (61 percent), 18- to 34-year-olds (56 percent), and those living in an urban area (53 percent).

What the heck are the other 40% thinking? If it’s that high, we have lost our souls. When did we go down this rabbit hole and why? Why is kids’ sexuality such a high priority in teaching kids? Why are we obsessing over this? Kids haven’t changed, the adults have.

It’s ok. Once upon a time, most Americans did not believe in gay marriage either. They will surely come around to the correct way of thinking.

Kids should no more be allowed to “choose their pronouns” than they should be allowed to choose cake and candy at every meal. What a foolish, frivolous, feminized nation we’ve become.

Only 60%?

As little as 5 years ago this would have probably been 95%

Most Americans (though disappointingly not more) aren’t bat crap crazy.

How many Americans say they support homosexuality because they are worried about being fired from their job and financially ruined if HR found out otherwise?

There are three genders: male, female, and neuter.

Perhaps we can put an end to this pronoun perversion by referring to people like Lia Thomas as it.

For kids I’d just use normal pronouns regardless of what they might want.For adults I’d use normal pronouns fitting their biological sex or “it” and “that”.

And of the majority of Democrats who say they support this, how many do so because, to be a good Democrat, you are supposed to support all this LGBT business, including hormones for children, surgeries on children etc??

How many support this because to be opposed would brand you as a Neanderthal bigot who hates LGBT peoples????

I don’t believe anyone should be able to select their preferred pronoun and then be able to force others to use it if it doesn’t conform with normal language usage.

I have no problem with them choosing a preferred pronoun. But they should not expect me to play along.

Exactly. Didn’t take them long to get their baseline 40%.

What’s next?

Anti-discrimination crap again ... we discriminate in most decisions we make whether it is buying fruit at the grocery store or not hiring a fruit in the workplace. Most discrimination is useful and needed. A man who cuts off his penis, calls himself a woman, and then wants to be called 'she' is mentally ill. He definitely lacks sound judgement and critical thinking. There's no way in hell that I would hire someone like that to work for me. That is discrimination which is useful and needed. Nothing wrong with that. Not one bit.

I'll will carry this one step further, those that have a problem with my discrimination I will discriminate against and exclude from my life. They serve no worthy purpose. They are the problem.

Most Americans don’t even know what a pronoun is.

Another poll affirms that "most" Americans will continue to remain lethargic, silent, complacent and uninterested in America's totalitarian regime until they ("most" Americans) are being herded onto the cattle cars headed for the gulag.

It does not matter what "most" Americans think. About, anything. The country has already been stolen and we did nothing.

That’s my beef....I don’t have to do what you tell me. The concept is absurd.

But how else are children going to get both the attention and the electrolytes they crave?

“41 percent of Americans believe kids should be able to pick their pronouns”

I don’t believe that for one second. That 41% is made up of Democrats, city people, and people 18-34 — in other words, people very unlikely to have kids.

So you’ve got people without kids (and probably not likely to ever have kids) saying that know best what is right for other peoples’ children. In other words, perfect Democrats who know exactly how you should live your life.
