    I’m not even sure how to pronounce these pronouns or what they mean. Pronouns are ridiculous outside of two gender pronouns anyway. It’s all made up in someone’s head with no physical or scientific proof of these pronouns. We should not teach our kids to live in a fantasy world of make believe.

    The Biden supporters are busy corrupting the language, knowing well that what follows naturally is a corruption of thought processes.

    It's good to see parents beginning to see the picture and objecting. :thumbsup:

    These pronouns are meant to reference someone that does not have an immediately identifiable gender — I can understand why the right doesn’t want hormones or surgery for individuals under 18 — but these are just words.

    Can you explain why this shouldn’t be allowed if an individual under 18 requests it?

    Because it’s not something that should be taught in school. There is no scientific evidence to support an emotion.

    What if the child or teenager has picked it up from home or through other means?

    I don’t understand what you mean by “no scientific evidence”? Mental health experts have indeed shown that GD exists.

    So again, what is the issue with gender neutral pronouns themselves?

    It isn’t a fantasy to these individuals — nor the medical / psychological community at large — but that doesn’t really answer the question.

    Why should pronouns be “discouraged”?

    I agree that the whole pronoun thing is getting asinine, but the lady quoted in the OP who calls this "grooming" is a grade A moron.

    Grooming is their new buzz word of bumper sticker morons everywhere. They don’t care what it means

    I could care less how someone wants to be addressed, it has no bearing on anything.

    Yes it exists mentally, hence mental illness. The scientific side relies on chromosomes

    I agree, why people make such a big deal out of others preferences makes no sense

    What pronoun would not offend your delicate sensibilities for XO or XXY individual?

    As scientifically defined the XO is a female missing an X chromosome and the XXY is a male with a genetic problem that allowed for another X. So XO is a female and XXY is a male. Still falls in line with science

    It’s not just preferences it’s the social acceptance of lies and make believe

    Gender affirming care reduces the chances the child will desist after puberty.

    Here's the big deal:

    Today is the first day of school for Jack and Jill. Now imagine they have to learn and memorize every single gender, how many are there now, about 80? Then they have to remember what every kid in school wants to be called. Of course if they get it wrong feelings will be hurt and discipline will be almost certainly how the school will deal with it. The left is creating a problem where none existed before and it's all about feelings.

    So are you going to demand a genetic test for these people if they don’t look like their biological gender?

    Or would it just be easier to use gender neutral pronouns if people request it?

    I agree. It confuses even further an already complex and evolving situation.

    Do you have a source for this? Or just your faith?
