This is very succinct! At my school, teachers are encouraged to add pronouns to our emails and add “Why This Matters” with a link to GLSEN. I’d love to make a doc with this article and add a link to “Why I Don’t Share Pronouns.” Getting close to retirement . . .
The trans ideology has changed our language, inventing new words that give them power.. Words like “trans phobic “, the prefix,”cis “ ( which mean nothing when applied to people), “ menstruators” which denigrates women , “TERFS” , also demeaning women. Just refuse to to use these words ! It’s time to stop this dangerous ideology!
Tolerance is one thing. Ideology is another. Teaching children to appreciate and respect differences is a healthy move. Many children live in same-sex families with wonderful queer adult parents. The ones I know don't raise/groom their kids to be gay, and their being gay doesn't make the kids gay. Likewise, tweens will often try on identities as a natural part of experimentation. Again, this doesn't make them gay. What's going on now is palpably different. The cultural shift is obvious and it is no accident. Thank you for the post.
Thank you. I tried to explain all this to a virtue signaling friend who was “glittering” my child, and it did not go well. SHE was hurt, I was “a self- righteous know-it-all,” and our relationship ended. I would still wade in these treacherous waters all over again with her, because CHILDREN ARE BEING HURT.
Using pronouns that do not reflect the actual persons sex is compelled speech. Do not allow people to push you around . The First Amendment protects your right against compelled speech.
Thank you for breaking this down and giving me the language to use on this. I am dying to make casual off hand comments in public where appropriate if only to let people know that not everyone agrees with this whole thing. And also to explain to my children why they should not call their sister he him.

Please do!
Great idea!!
Right. Why this is stupid virtue signalling!
Thank you for carefully articulating truth. Now, we need to get the people who use the new pronouns to understand why they should not use them.
How do you educate people who have been brainwashed into being “kind”?
I don’t know, that’s why I am trying to reach people before they are brainwashed. If you figure it out, can you have a conversation with my family?? 😜
Agree. And we need to reclaim ‘pregnant women’ etc.

Yes I agree these language changes are not benign. They are pernicious.

Some people can't hear it because they can't face the fact that they are the ones who are hurting children.
Pronouns are the first step to tranny grooming in government schools.
Spot on.
