No seriously this is a succinct and logical dissection of a quandary that’s both fraught and dumb. The contemporary left is at the crossroads of shrill and stupid.
"Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of [gender identity]. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of [Judith Butler]” 😉🙂
The Frankfurt School adapted Marx’s theories on revolution to include Freud’s theory of the subconscious. The Cultural Marxists’ main focus was to reshape the subconscious of Western men and women and thus create new type of person: one who would react passively to provocations of all kinds.
Cultural Marxists encourage abortion, birth control, divorce, homosexuality, “carrier women,” drugs, miscegenation, the destruction of the traditional family, and unrestricted immigration of racial foreigners into white countries. This is a reflection of what the Cultural Marxists preach: white reproduction is evil, and that which prevents white reproduction is good.
The NHL just banned ALL cultural/political practice jerseys over the ongoing LGBT controversies. No "pride" jersey, no military appreciation, not even St Patrick's Day or Chinese New Year! Teams can still make these jerseys, but player's will only wear their regular uniform during warm ups.
Obviously no one watches the NHL outside of Las Vegas and Canada, so it doesn't matter. But I feel like it's a symbolic of a general retreat of this sort of stuff. Maybe it's just been my personal attempts to be less online, but I can't remember the last time I heard the term "cis." I feel like I see much less of all stripes of cultural identity stuff compared to a year or two ago.
Your Cavendish banana analogy is excellent--both persuasive and funny. My own analogy is the guy Elaine dated in one Seinfeld episode who conducts a firemen’s band. He insists that everyone call him “Maestro,” and so every conversation with him begins awkwardly, when people say his name and he gets all huffy and says, “I would really prefer it if you called me Maestro!” We have conventional words for a reason, after all.
Sort of like calling myself a goyim. Might use it if context is needed, but most of the time, it's not. We need to quit pretending 0.7% of the populace is somehow equal to 99.3%.
“Cavendish Banana”??? I’m literally shaking rn

All good stuff. Big fan of Helen Dale also.

New England and Minnesota too!
In conclusion this is why I frickin’ love the NHL.
Beat me to it! Hockey is huge in Minnesota! And I suspect that it must come as a relief to most NHL players that their uniforms should be apolitical.
Yes!!
All the other sports only require one ball to play . . . Hockey is for real men . . .
Hockey is the only team sport for real men, the rest only require one ball . . .
"Cis woman" is the same as "caffeinated coffee", "non-albino person", and "four-legged cat." It's redundant and unnecessary.

I haven’t seen that episode but I wish I had!!
Reading this well-done article made me sad.
Are common sense, common courtesy (AKA etiquette), and the English language completely dead in 21st century America?
It appears the answer is “yes”.
I feel these things are poised to make a comeback!
Our tolerant (of views completely different from ours), inclusive, open-minded multicultural and pluralistic society is too valuable to destroy.
I so hope you are right, and I believe writers like you on Substack will be the facilitators. So glad you’re back.
Thanks Heyjude! :)
Call me cis if you like, but don't insult me by calling me "Sis"... There, that's about right.
