The media have decided to refer to these trans people, by the sex they claim to identify as, not the sex they actually are.

This is why I study Spanish. In Spanish all nouns have gender, masculine or feminine. All Spanish nouns are singular or plural. Adjectives agree with the noun in gender and number. That is all that you need to know.

I know I will have to go to reeducation camp someday.

There have been over 50 gender identities discovered so far. I only know a handful. I know about male, female, homosexuals of either sex, and then after that, I’m lost.

So I will have to be reeducated or worse.

No language can function with a potentially infinite number of pronouns. There is already something that can theoretically be different for each person: the name.

Names work, because we need to know only the names of people we know and deal with. And that is a finite number.

Mandating an infinite number of pronouns is madness, and makes the language unlearnable. Plus it makes it certain that everyone will not get the “new pronouns” right. That will allow the fascists to swoop down and neutralize the dissenters who won’t use the “new pronouns.”

You all need to study as there will be a test

No.

If anyone brings up pronouns the correct response is "shoo crazy person. Shoo!"

You know, I've often thought that if these people would label all the objects around them carefully, and stop putting random things into random bodily apertures, all this confusion they seem to suffer would go away.

I chose traditional pronouns based on biologically based sex (not "gender", which refers to sex of words).

For example, and picking a fictional name at random, Miss Rapinoe has two X sex chromosomes, therefore SHE is a female because HER genome says so.

If someone were to ask me my "pronouns", I would reply with my chromosomes are one X and one Y. My pronouns follow accordingly.

fae/faer (commonly pronounced fay/fair)

Will I be cancelled if I mispronounce those as "fake/faker"?

One of my wife's best friends is "Fay."

So "Fae told me that faer best friend is in town this week." could make some sense. Except I'd have to correct it to "Fae's told me that Fae's best friend is in town this week."

This horseshit is IMPOSSIBLE to teach. There is no way any school can teach this crap and expect kids to learn it. If any public school attempts to teach it, you better get your kid out ASAP (if your kid is in any public school). There was an earlier article a few days about about the Austin, TX public school district. Somebody claimed their enrollment is down 80% (I find it hard to believe it has collapsed that far). If this crap creeps into any leftist English curriculum, then that is grounds to shut the damh school down.

William (they/them) and Sarah (they/them) decided they wanted to go out for dinner. They wanted Chinese food, but they wanted Italian, so they compromised and chose French.
They ordered bouillabaisse and they ordered cassoulet.
Can anyone tell what is happening here?

Sure they do. It’s a poisonous echo chamber and soon enough these people will dominate the voter rolls. I’m hoping not to see those days. This is chaotic and self destructive enough.

This pronoun BS is an attempt to steal our education.

Having learned how to communicate relationships between individual entities, we must defend against the commies who want to invalidate our method, thusly stealing our education.
