emo: State Department Urges Staffers to Avoid Gendered Language
Breitbart ^ | 28 Feb 2024 | PAUL BOIS

Posted on 02/29/2024 7:29:59 AM PST by artichokegrower

The State Department reportedly told staffers in a memo they should avoid using gendered phrases like “mother” or “father” for fear of offense.

(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...


TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS: cowards; father; freespeech; mother
The cable says that gender is a social construct and that gender identity is a person’s “innermost concept of self as masculine, feminine, a blend of both, or neither,” which “may or may not correspond with one’s sex assigned at birth.”


Hoping that the Trump Administration will kick these worthless waste of space off of the taxpayer funded government payroll

Keep the memo and when you take over, fire that person and everyone in the chain of command. If you can’t fire them, reassign them to nothing jobs.

If causing offense is the issue, what about people who are offended by garbled language, such as describing mothers as birthing persons?

Reminds me recently I saw something on TV about prostate issues in men. The woman being interviewed continually talked about people with penises, and people with prostates. She was unable or unwilling to say that men are the people who have prostates.

I’ve also heard people talk about pregnant people, rather than pregnant women, because it offends the sensibilities of these activists if you would imply that women get pregnant.

America definitely needs to be made Great Again. This third world sh*thole crap is for the buzzards migrating up from the third world outhouses with flags south of the border.

What a crazy world that we are not supposed to talk about mothers and fathers. Apparently we are supposed to talk about generic parental units, without reference to the sex of particular parental units.

Heck, maybe it’s offensive to talk about the fact that children have parents , regardless of the sex of any parents.

Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke : Let me backtrack for a second. The female erogenous zone.

Dr. Colburn : You mean the balloons?

Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke : Oh, no, no, no. Lower. Lower, much lower. Where the babies come out. The woo... The woowoo.

Dr. Colburn : The woowoo?

Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke : Yes! The woowoo. Perhaps the most significant psychological feminine component known to mankind.

People who are offended by the terms “mother” and “father” deserve to be offended. And mocked for the mentally-ill fools that they are.

I can remember when the marriage-redefinition rules were being made over a decade ago. County clerk licenses to get married were changed wholesale to read “party A” and “party B” for the people getting married, replacing “bride” and “groom” as the terminology. A traditional couple in California objected to this degendering language and just modified the application by hand with “bride” and “groom,” but were told they couldn’t modify it legally as an official document. They even took it to court. Can’t remember the outcome, but today, they’d lose big time.

These perverts are going after the First Amendment in a thinly-veiled manner.

The State Department needs a thorough cleansing and overhaul. Get rid of all the woke imbeciles!
