"Misgendering" - a Politically Created Word to Force a Political Agenda?

I’ve held on to this for a while, so let me start off by saying that I agree with Matt Margolis: Rachel Levine Says ‘Misgendering’ Trans People Is ‘Mean-Spirited’—It’s Not . Levine is the transgender US Assistant Secretary of Health and the affirmative action four-star admiral in the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corp. And no, he’s not black so isn’t that kind of race affirmative action but it is one for his sexuality. A lot of that has been going around because it seems that the Left has made it clear that’s how they wish to normalize their version of sexuality (wait, pedophilia is next and it is happening locally and my former Chief of Police is involved in the incident – and not very nicely). And the Left has made it VERY political – and watch the school environments that prove my point. And Steve’s post (“Middle School Students Charged with Sexual Harassment for Using Incorrect Pronouns“) as we both seized on the same story (I just couldn’t type fast enough but chose to lead with this one).

So, what’s the beef? Just like with preferred pronouns in schools that have adopted some kind of transgender Polity that REQUIRES people on school grounds, the Militant Transgenders are determined to change our language so as to positively affirm them – regardless if we want to or not. Let’s start with this:

“You talk about being very vocal on the advocacy front. You told Chelsea Clinton on a podcast that was out—I think this week—that you hope that one day your identity isn’t going to define you or any other trans person, and yet we’re in this moment where some on the right continue to publicly misgender you. On a personal level, how do you navigate that?” Jackson asked him.

“Identity” is all the rage with the Left and is getting to be more so every day. After all, when straight people have to tell others, or FEEL that they must, what their pronouns are, the Left HAS MADE IDENTITY your definition. Want it to NOT be that way?

Keep your sexuality or “expression thereof” your business – not mine. Listen to a lot of folks on the Left when they get into an argument – how do they start off?

As a person of color….
As a gay white…
In my experience as a bisexual, two-spirit…

I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE, I DON’T CARE WHAT YOUR SELF-PROCLAIMED “Identity” IS, so stop it! It’s like that old doctor joke: “Doctor, doctor, when I do this, it keeps hurting. Well, stop doing it!”. I don’t care what you think are, I don’t care about your Feelz – man up and stop being snowflakes about it. Keep shoving it in my face DOES define you – as an asshat. Leave me alone and I’l leave me alone. That goes twice for my kid in school.

And then we come to the nub of the problem:

“Well, those anti-trans, those transphobic actions that states have taken are quite politically motivated. And I’ve said before. They are egregious. We need to support and empower trans youth. So my word to them is that we have a president who sees us and supports us as we are. It is so important for people to be authentic and to live free in the United States, to live in our nation as who they are and, of course, who they love. And we’re going to continue to do everything we can to support them.

Sorry, but I’m not the one that MADE it political – I, and a lot of others of us on the Right, are reacting to the ‘in-your-face” crowd that turned to Government to make the rest of us bow to your speech demands that are making “preferred pronouns” mandatory. Sorry, Constitutional free speech comes before your mindset of what you are. Keep trying to use govt to coerce my speech and I’ll give you “political”.

With all that said, here’s what Margolis said:

Let’s get one thing clear: When I or anyone else calls Levine “him” or otherwise uses male pronouns or calls him a man, that is not “misgendering.” Rachel Levine can legally change his name, grow his hair out, and have all the plastic surgery he wants, but that doesn’t change who or what he is–and that is a biological male. I’m not being mean-spirited; I’m just not validating his delusion that he is now a woman. The same goes for anyone who is transgender.

And yes, I get to say what a woman is – I have a biology degree. So that also means I know what a man is as well. And I’m going to keep believe my lyin’ eyes and ears as well. I keep saying this because it seems I have to:

You think you are something you aren’t? Have at it. If your family and friends are good with it, more power to you.

Just leave me out of it and stop trying to jam it down my throat.

Misgendering is just another made up, politicized word meant to further a political agenda. It’s meant, in practice, as a stepping stone just like Civil Unions was used politically by the gay militants in creating their own Slippery Slide to get what they wanted politically because they were failing culturally – Gay Marriage legally and total affirmation of it culturally.

Now, the idea that someone can be anything, be of any sexuality, at any time, just on a whim and that REST OF US MUST ACCEPT THAT which we know is not true is that next thing.

And you know what the real targets are?

That you’ll never know what is real or not
And the demise of the nuclear family.

The first is important because then you’ll never know when you are being gaslit on anything else

And the second is how can you have a family when NOTHING is stable?

Heck with it – Steve covered the middle schoolers whose future is being destroyed simply because they refused to bow down to Government demanded speech. Here’s the links I was going to use.

Levine is not the problem – but he certainly is a huge symptom of the real problem – throwing everything in to Chaos. For as Lenin said, where there is Chaos, there is Opportunity.

Remember, this is Cultural Marxism in real time.
