It’s time to defrock the word police. The election, polls, and anecdotal evidence confirm that Americans want to end the obnoxious recitation of pronouns – “Latinx,” “birthing persons,” and other entries in the radical left lexicon – except in eulogies for progressive virtue signaling. In a March Gallup poll of more than 12 million adults, 4.4% identified … Read more
So, we left off with Bard throwing in with the Left in declaring words (sex) can be redefined at any time for political ideology (“gender identity”). And Speech Coercion by Government is a fine thing for Government to tell us how to speak and think:
Yes, a transgender student has the right to be called by their preferred pronouns by others.
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 … Read more

Extended because I’m usually on the phone and only for 15-20 minutes a segment. This past Wednesday was different as Liz invited me into her studio for the entire hour of her show. It was FUN!
Loyal Readers may remember my jousting with my School District over the NH School Board Association’s Policy JBAB – a policy, demanded by the passage of SB263 that: “Gender Identity” became a Protected Class School Districts were told that they SHALL create policies that would keep ALL of the Protected Classes from being discriminated against. … Read more
