December 2016 – Jordan Peterson is endlessly mocked by Leftist “experts” about his concerns about enforced use of transgender pronouns
December 2018 – A high school teacher in West Point, Virginia is fired because he refused to use transgender pronouns.
you want to be called male or female you better freaking be a male or a female, not some insane aberration.
doubleplus ungood.
loss of income and financial hardship may not lead to conformance…
send him to room 101.

You will note that the evil, wicked, satanic, bible-seizing, flag-stomping, public-school teacher was persecuted by the freely-elected school board made up of citizens, not other teachers or bureaucrats.
Barf!
These scum will not rest until we are all wearing grey smocks and carrying little red Maoling books.
How about we use a pronoun that describes what they really are.
If this keeps up we will be jailed if we describe what they really are….no joking, I think we are almost there.
“How about we use a pronoun that describes what they really are”
How about “THE LANGUAGE POLICE?”
Years ago the “60 Minutes” reporters coined: “Language Police” for the new “enforcers of the Lingua Franca” in Québec. So as a make- work .gov project it is good business. They harrassed and fined good hard working bilingual people that just wanted a life. Seems like history is repeating itself with the one-size-fits-all-gender crowd. For more info, see link below, you’ll need anti-emetic meds.

There’s a difference though.
As ridiculous as “l’Office” is, at least it’s policing actual languages, not phoney contrived pronouns that are linguistically counter-intuitive.
Ironically a French teacher. How is he supposed to avoid using gender pronouns, let alone nouns and adjectives!
Please, Robert. You know that the truth is no defense. Present yourself for Sensitivity Retraining on Monday.
This is purely an English-language fixation.
Even if you did make up a pronoun for yourself in French, it would still have to be either masculine or feminine.
Excellent; they are attacking the unions now! Now, unions have to pick sides; are they about social justice, or are they about their members?
I expect decertification, right to work legislation, etc., to become increasingly popular as people come to the realization that all the union cares about is collecting more dues, and Lamborghinis for the union brass.
To every union member in the world; your union always cared more about getting Hillary Clinton, or Merkel, or Macron, elected than any lie they have ever told you. And you gullible fools can suck it, cause you have been supporting the end of civilization for as long as you have been paying dues.
I have zero sympathy for the useful idiots that have been used by socialists. And now? Time to be discarded, cause you are less useful than gender pronouns, or whatever.
I use my union as the useful idiots. They fight for my job, pay, benefits, time off, seniority, etc. The union gets paid by me to do that, they work for me. When they tell me who to vote for or what my family or life values should be, I just tell them “NO”, to their face.
Two good posts Kevin…could not agree more.
Nirvana for me would be to see the complete OUTLAWING of Public Servant UNions. The absolute root of all the Disgusting LEFTIST EVIL on the planet. De-Certification en masse.
They are in practice, legalized Extrortion Rackets.
On Saturday I went to a yellow vest protest to protest Canada signing the UN migration pact. Two weeks from now such a protest could get you charged, either by the feds or by a human rights tribunal.
Sad isn’t it.
If France is any indication, in three weeks we could see a mob trying to burn down Parliament. No government in Canada has really tried a crack-down against a populist movement since the labor union riots of 1946. Look how that turned out.
Lefties really don’t understand exactly how -fragile- a constitutional democracy really is. It looks like nobody reacts to anything, but the truth is somewhat different.
The story about boiling the frog is not true. The frog will jump out of the pot. The thing that we are seeing now is that there’s no way to tell WHEN it will jump. Even the frog doesn’t know. The heat accumulates, and the reaction is unpredictable.
That DOES IT! From now on … any woman wearing flannel now gets referred to as “sir” by me. Fine … OK … I can live with that. And if “he” happens to be driving a Subaru Outback … well … it’s a done deal.
Or Forrester. I believe it’s the number one choice of women wearing comfortable shoes.
Forrester is my choice of car and has been for the past 18 years, I’m 10 years into my second one. I am male, a him, a sir, a he, married, grandfather.
