WHOSE PRONOUNS?

First, I heard a screed from a loud...woman?...letting us know in no uncertain terms that if we are not willing to use her preferred pronouns, then we shouldn't address her at all.

Second, for the first time, I saw an email at my (somewhat stodgy and conservative) workplace with the tag line "Pronouns: She, Her, Hers."

The combination caused a dim LED bulb to flicker above my head, illuminating a really, really important piece of information that has been hiding in plain sight: what do you mean, your pronouns?

In a classic example of leftist verbal subterfuge, the assumption that pronouns are owned by the addressed subject seems to have been slid right past us underneath the larger chaotic mishmash of transgenderism.

That is so profoundly wrong: they ain't your pronouns. They ain't my pronouns. They are the English language's pronouns.

No language or culture can long endure without a common and accepted set of rules that define the structure and meaning of our shared language. We do not get to define society in terms of what we want; we interact with culture according to a shared set of assumptions and beliefs. My identity is not defined by what I want in isolation; it is defined by the way in which I interact and integrate with the rest of my culture. It is a shared endeavor. The insistence that one gets to choose one's pronouns makes no more sense than insisting that dogs should be called sausage monsters. We don't get to invent our language on the fly.

Lesser of two evils...maybe. He’s certainly no *worse* than anyone the Rat Party would put forward...and just might be even a little better. He has a mental illness.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Interesting observations.

Is it somehow an endorsement of all this transsexual sex change, gender bending identities, to support Bruce/Caitlyn over the remaining collection of kooks and crackpots who will be running for governor in the recall?

[TnTnTn]

Well he is right on the main issues...we have many other insane politicians that are wrong on all the issues...so any port in a storm...

[Vaduz]

Par for California it cant be saved.

[Trump.Deplorable]

I understand the author’s point but purity in California isn’t an issue right now. We need to win seats/governorships in blue states right now.

If it takes Caitlyn Jenner to accomplish this, so be it

In deep blue states like NJ, NY, CA, IL, etc I have no problem with fielding right of center candidates (not RINOs or Never Trumpers, those are just Dems in Reps clothing). A candidate that is 85% with us, is still better then a candidate that is 100% against us.

[Leaning Right]

“Caitlyn” Jenner might be crazy, but he’s not fascist crazy. And unfortunately that might be the only two options California ends up with. Crazy or fascist crazy.

[Altura Ct.]

I agree they are trying to normalize deviancy even if I agree with Jenner on this point.

[AppyPappy]

It’s California

[conservative98]

I have a dream that he will turn back to Bruce in a second term.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I watched the first half of Bruce Lopadikoffme and Call Me Caitlyn Jenner’s interview on Hannity. It was puke worthy. It (not he as it was neutered) had nothing to say. It used a lot of words to say next to nothing. Jenner showed it is not a viable candidate no matter how much Hannity thinks it is the “best” candidate in the field. It is the best known candidate, but bet known is a far cry from best.

[ScottinVA]

None of this really matters, anyway. No GOPer, especially with eight candidates diluting the ever-shrinking Republican vote in ûber-left Cali, has the remotest of chances of winning, since either Newsom or an even more leftist dem will win that recall in a walk.

[Boogieman]

‘During appearances in conservative media, hosts have referred to the putative CA gubernatorial candidate as “Caitlyn Jenner” and used the pronoun “she.”’

Then it wasn’t really “conservative media”.

[old curmudgeon]

It is so much simpler than that.

Anyone who is so unhappy that he/she was born male or female is mentally unstable and therefore not an ideal person to hold public office in any position of power.

It is not wise to put obviously unstable people in power.

[Stravinsky]

The author nails it. The concept behind “Transgender” is dangerous in a way that typical moral debates (prostitution, sexual attraction, etc.) are not. I’m not saying that morality isn’t involved, it is, but it’s also about fundamental truth and reality. A vote for Jenner is a vote to add an additional serious problem to the ones we have. Don’t do it. No matter the options.

[upchuck]

Even if he's conservative on some issues, Bruce Jenner is still a man...

God determined the sex of the fetus at the moment of conception. In this case, God chose male.

From the day he was conceived until the day he dies, Bruce Jenner will always be a man.

[Antoninus]

Correct. Jenner is an absurd creature. If your standard-bearer is absurd, your ideas become absurd. That's why he's running. He's a media creation and his purpose is to further THEIR narrative.

How difficult is this?

“objective, observable reality.”

What if he had lil Bruce lopped off and had a vagina installed in its place? What pronoun would you use then?

[hoagy62]

Not that anyone cares, but George “It’s Okay To Be” Takei has tweeted that “Caitlyn Jenner is no friend of the LGBTQ community”.

Apparently, if you have even a shred, no matter how small, of conservative thought, you’re an outcast and a pariah.
