It’s not a cause for the left – it’s a tool: One of the ways to defend a position is to insist on language that makes it impossible to attack or criticize it at all. Control of language is an immensely powerful tactic. Once you concede the vocabulary you are doomed.
This white lieberal is the result of cousins marrying.
Just saw this clip on another feed. Rabbi? No, no, no, no, no, no not this time – Don Logan voice. STFU.
Once you concede the language you are doomed.
Something this anti-menticide (x Menticide) crank has often said here.
Just one example: don’t point your finger at a Kerry or Gore and excoriate them for their “carbon footprint” hypocrisy. Realize that when you do THEY WIN because you are unwittingly legitimizing an utterly bogus concept. There are dozens if not hundreds of such words or phrases.
If you say “biological male” you’ve unwittingly surrendered to the vicious deliberately manufactured chaos and division.
You’re not legitimizing a concept, you’re using their own words to attack them as they attack others.
But the attacks are pointles. Utterly poinless.
Dunno who coined this phrase but he/she is brilliant: “it’s not hypocrisy it’s hierarchy”. The more a bogus word or phrase is used, including by people who are attacking it in the knowledge that it is bogus, the greater currency it acquires in society.
It’s both hypocrisy and hierarchy. You attack them with all means available and then you attack them some more until they crawl back under a rock where they belong.
I made a similar point yesterday.

I thought you were just glad to see me?
Would it help if I referred to those kids as being, “normal boys” and “normal girls” ?
No?
Ok, well how about’s “real boys” and “real girls” ?
lol…
See also, “compelled speech” and Jordan Peterson, and the rest of the gang…
Exactly.
It was this very point that bought Jordan Peterson to the public domain.
He was powerful right from the start.
They know that transgirls are boys. They know that a transgirl is not an actual girl. It’s right there in the name. Otherwise they wouldn’t say TRANSgirl, they’d just say “girl”
“I am not listening”..uh huh some accidental truth.
They talk,they don’t listen..cause they know better.
So much our progressive comrades “know” that just ain’t so.
I have a response to these fools.
“If you cannot make a simple decision such as what toilet to use…Why would I care to respect your “judgement” on any thing?FOAD!”
They are refusing to listen, not because they know better but because they are insecure in their received views; insecure because they didn’t develop them through their own intellectual rigor but are merely saying what they’re told to say, and deep down, they know it.
AND some of those enemedia puppets are making $10, 20+ million a year and cannot afford to lose their ill-gotten propaganda sinecures.
” My mind is made up, Don’t confuse me with facts”
Wondering if those squirrely talking heads have daughters that have encountered the penis in a changeroom?
People wonder what the Democrats will learn from an election where they lost the presidency, the senate, and (probably) the house. My guess is that there are too many hard-core ideologues in their party — impervious to logic, facts, and evidence — for them to make much progress.
If someone says “Ya know, maybe we should think rethink our position on men participating in women’s sports”, these ideologues will wave their wands and shout “Transphobia Silencia”, and the discussion will be shut down.
That clip first made me laugh when I first saw it because of the ridiculousness of the ‘rabbi’s’ attempt to shut down *any* discussion (“I’m not going to listen to transphobia at this table!”), and because while CNN has two token Republicans working for them they will only ever trot them out one at a time, so they can always create a four or five on one situation (with lots of drama a controversy…you’d think they were programming a reality show).
Then it made me annoyed, because the common-sense people always ALWAYS fail to use the very best argument they possess: if trans women are women, and trans men are men, why are there ZERO trans men competing in men’s sports? Why is it 100% trans women competing in women’s sports?
(notwithstanding the fact that there is *no such thing* as a ‘transsexual’ in the first place, of course…)
And speaking of the Maestros of Language Manipulation, how ‘bout the word “phobia” which is an irrational belief. ALL of the so-called portmanteau words (am I using the phrase correctly?) that include “phobia” are false because the people accused are either not fearful at all or are rationally fearful.
Masters of language manipulation but extremely weak in logic.
“And speaking of the Maestros of Language Manipulation, how ‘bout the word “phobia” which is an irrational belief. ”
Yeah, that too. The prefix Homo = same…Trans = across, beyond or change.
Their language is nonsensical. They bullied people into accepting and using it.
When language no longer works, embrace the power of the stick or the stone.
If that sounds primitive to you, then you’re one of those cunned stunts as well.
(I tell people who don’t like my swearing to fckoff.)
That Orwellian POS needs corporal punishment. A lot of it.
