Totally insane. We have graduated, as a culture, to idiocy.

Words have a gender; people have a sex. End of story.

I read the list. Geez, what a bunch of nonsense. I guarantee you many of those “options” are not based on established science, but Gender Studies-type activism/advocacy.

Also, I refuse to identify with “cis” anything. I’m a male, and represent roughly one-half of the biological gender equation. I don’t need a modifier to categorize me.

Let’s get something straight (pun intended) ...

“Gender” is a term that references personal pronoun usage ina sentence - he, she, him, her, (it?)

That is NOT the same thing as “sex,” of which there STILL exists only two categories - MALE and FEMALE - PERIOD!

These a-hole are allowed to get away with the continuing bastardization of language, so that they may invent, out of whole cloth, pseudo sexual “identities” and “orientations” which DO NOT EXIST IN NATURE!

And we continue to give them a pass on the deceptive practice.

The next time some ignorant jackass tells you their “gender” is this, that, or the other thing ... set them straight! Ask: “Were you born with a penis and testicles? Yes or No? Were you born with a vagina, uterus and ovaries? Yes or No?”

You are either male or female ... Your freaking pretentious “identity” is nothing more than manufactured bravo sierra so to camouflage your totally screwed up soul.

That should promptly shut them up.

The author and many who think like the author, are the reason we had mental institutions up until the 1960s.

I will go out of my way if necessary to NOT become familiar with these terms. People who are familiar with these terms are like people who know way too much about some particular TV show or movie. A lot of the time they are just showing off and want you to believe that that makes them smarter, or in this case, more “enlightened” or “evolved” (POTUS) than you are.

“Gender fluid” is what male homos use to make things ‘work’.

We call it K-Y.

If a person thinks he’s Napoleon, normal people don’t go out and muster him an army. They lock him up in the nuthouse.
