Jay this is BRILLIANT! I've stated a zillion times that if one doesn't understand how language programs the mind they will fail in their endeavors. This is true for business contracts, insurance claims, and most importantly one's BELIEFS. Beliefs are words to label an idea but performed irrationally. The rational mind does NOT care one bit for a belief--it's about the details.
Hey Jay. I was just re-reading this post from a few years ago, and 1) I can't believe it was almost 3 years ago, and 2) I continue to be impressed with your command of language and skill with writing essays. I once had a friend who would recall anecdotes, but he did it in such a way he was weaving a tale, regaling one with a complete story, beginning, middle, and end, with inferences to the moral found at the completion. He was just shooting the shit, but he was the kind of person you wanted to be around and listen to. You remind me of him. Me, at best, I'm suited for technical writing, like writing a manual for a vacuum cleaner. I envy that kind of ability.
My issue lies with the pronouns, "they/them." (Often even "he/she/they/them") Here's why: pronouns, they / them, represent one who is gender fluid, agender, etc., or used when gender identity is unknown. It doesn't matter what you call "them," because "they" are gender fluid, gender changing over time, & identify as both, "he and she". Yet, many are offended if you use "he" or "she" to identify them.
So, the conversation goes in circles...
Not everyone, but I believe many use it as a means to preclude communication and target others, presumed to be bigots, prejudice, transphobic, etc. (not unlike presumed "anti-semitism), as a means to avoid an uncomfortable truth. I believe the social aspect of gender identity has become a dangerous trend, especially for those with gender dysphoria. It is said that gender dysphoria is different from one who identifies as being agender or transgender. This part baffles me, according to DSM-5 criteria.
Note: I'm fully aware of chromosomal disorders, in which, most identify as one or the other.

Thank you for the kind words. As life would have it, your wording is very ironic and metaphoric in my life at the moment.

It's all mental illness, that is socially engineered, from my perspective.
I will continue to question them, we are "woke" and they are "delusional"
What is a woman? Everyone knows ? The Band Styx has a song that describe these self entitled
Whatever 's as good as they describe the lyrics are "welcome to the GRAN DELUSION????
tto question is to be transphobic. Phobia is a fear
So yes I am very transphobic.
This is standard. They can't handle being questioned. They always respond with hate and rage.
