Well, I agree with you, but the point I was making is this:

They can't even accomplish something that simple.

They have made a fetish of trying to force everyone to learn 37 different sets of pronouns--or is it 47--or 10,000--when they could merely discontinue all genders and have only one. I was observing how absurd and ridiculous they are, but, of course, there are so many examples of their stupidity and evil that we really don't need any more.

These leftists--or wokies, whatever--are chaotic intellectually and morally. Their handlers want them to be. That makes them easy to control. And they are so stupid as to want to be controlled.

To say that leftists are intellectually and morally mediocre is to flatter them.

The problem is “reality is what you believe it to be” (i.e., post-modernism).”

Precisely.

I have yet to hear these post-modernists explain how one’s identification of THEMSELF can dictate or alter reality, but one’s identification of another cannot.

If reality is malleable to our own perception, why would it be limited to the Self??

If Bob identifies as a trans-human Coyote named Naim, the reality of his self-ID is said to be unquestionable. If I, in my own perception of reality, identify Bob as BOB, how can my perception be any less valid, and how can I be said to be mis-gendering, etc.?

Complete lunacy!

Wish they would have done this back in the 70’s when I was in middle school. I would have insisted on the pronoun “Knightswhosay”... and then sat back and enjoyed the chaos.

It is lunacy. Which is why postmodernism is being pushed by those who wish to destroy our culture and replace it with a communist state.

The chaos created by postmodernism has already made our culture wobbly. All it will take is one good shove and it will fall flat on its face.

That would be “it”.

Exactly.

"It" would be far better than 37 different sets of pronouns--or 47--or 10,000--or whatever! But that would be far too easy for the pathologically dysfunctional wokies.

In French, it would be easier, since they only have two genders. If they merely eliminate the "elle" pronouns, voila: One gender!

Those would be my choice as well. Sometimes I'd like to hear "Your Worship-fullness", "Master Wizard", or "Your Grace".

Being greeted by "Hail Caesar" strikes me as pleasant.

Yes, this is definitely along the right lines.
