As regular readers know, I am beyond the coerciveness of being told to use “preferred pronouns” with respect to those suffering from gender dysphoria. And with respect to “respect”, what the Freedom-weak people don’t understand, it’s a tactic to impress upon you your “language enslavement by proxy and repetition” if you use them to “show respect”. After all, that “respect” suffers a major failure – it’s only a one-way term when it comes to this issue (thus, the word “enslavement”).
I refuse the “demand to respect me” demand because, when you really examine “enslavement”, it shows ME no respect at all. Respect is only a one-way street – they demand and I must do. It doesn’t matter to them what my conscience says, it doesn’t matter to them what I believe, it doesn’t matter to them what English grammar rules are,
Sidenote: go ahead and start writing a couple of paragraphs using only the incorrect and made-up pronouns demanded of you for a conversation concerning five trans people (three of them use “they/them”. Then read it back and see if it makes any sense at all. Then give it to a friend to read and get their opinion. I’m betting it will be utter nonsense.
…it doesn’t matter to them what your Free Speech Rights are; all that matters is that you bow to their demands.
All that does matter is that you give them what they demand. Nothing less, but think of that as a launching point for more demands. It is their version of Orwell’s ‘1984’ version of 2+2=5; makes you believe in something that isn’t true.
And “respect” came up with Fox News “The Five” panel (I continue to watch that show and Gutfield but no other Fox News programs – not even as “background noise”) when they discussed Riley Gaines complaining about William “Lia” Thomas destroying womens’ swimming and displaying himself full Monty in their lockerroom knowing that there was nothing the rest of the team could do about it.
The co-hosts on a Fox News panel had a heated exchange about whether it would “hurt” to use someone’s preferred pronouns. During a segment of “The Five” Thursday, liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov brought up attacks targeted against transgender people. “It is important to treat people with dignity and respect when you are talking about these issues,” Tarlov began, adding, “And part of that is using the correct pronouns…”
Co-host Jeanine Pirro quickly interjected to say, “No.”
“Yes, it is. It doesn’t hurt you at all to call Lia Thomas ‘she,’” Tarlov shot back.
'The Five' lose their shit when liberal host Jessica Tarlov says it doesn't hurt them to refer to Lia Thomas as she/her.

The money lines for me:
Guest Joey Jones said, “It makes me a liar.”
“You have NO RIGHT to compel me to say ANYTHING!”
I’m tired of being told what to do, especially by children (either by age, mentality, or lack of truthfulness). I’m tired of people telling me my eyes are lying to me. I’m tired of realizing that the Bio degree I earned and paid for is of no account. I’m tired of being told that my faith values are disgusting. I’m tired that they believe and hold that I should go quietly “into their good night” and excoriate me at the same time.
You want to try to “coerce” me on this? No, “quietly” will not be a word to apply to THAT situation.
And NO, there are no attacks going on the way that the Trans-Authoritarians want you to believe is. When the Democrat run parts of Government are constantly in our faces with the Alphabet Mafia suite of flags, changing laws and ordinances to give them special rights not meant for others, there’s no problem. You want attacks? Look at the FBI stats on attack on Jews…I’ll wait while you do.
And no, I will NOT stand for the transgender attempt to redefine “attack” to include any criticism against their movement as the clip shows. Guttfield is absolutely right about this yet it is happening.
As I have said many times before, if you think you are something that you can never be, fine – have at it. If your friends and family want to go along with it, more power to you. But DON’T force me (and a lot of others) to cooperate, respect, affirm, or be co-opted by what your demands are.
Not happening. Tarlov says to “treat people with dignity and respect” – why should I when they aren’t respecting me? She can be led by leash if she wishes but I refuse to wear that dog collar.
