Let me help you mutants out. Your pronouns are either “he” or “she.” There seems to have been a lot of confusion about this recently and it is important to set the record straight. Your pronouns are not “they,” “xir,” “snib,” or “it.” Your pronouns are either “he” or “she” – and you don’t get to pick which one. You already are one or the other, assigned at birth to use the current lingo, and this can never change.

Passive aggression is really annoying. It’s a sissy move by those who want to avoid confrontation. It’s the go-to move lately by leftists annoyed that SCOTUS has refused to empower their psychopathologies, and it’s tiresome. But in the case of the 10-year-old girl who famously had to go to Indiana to abort the baby planted inside her by a disgusting semi-human who, in a civilized nation, would be dropped on a desert island to be hunted for sport by the highest bidder, it is utterly disgraceful.

Pronoun Pronounsense

The time for tolerating gender silliness has passed. We gave them a fair shot. We were tolerant of the weirdos who did not know which bathroom to use, expecting if we left them alone we would be left alone. But the logic of evangelical leftism makes that impossible. They can’t leave us alone – like the puritans of old who lived in terror of the idea that someone, somewhere might be having fun, these people cannot endure knowing that we exist dedicated to faith, family, and the flag. So, suddenly, we went from tolerating the transgressive to our kids getting groomed in kindergarten and to being told that if we don’t conform to the gender lies we will lose our livelihood.

So, where once we would just roll our eyes at their ridiculous pronoun indulgences, it is now game on.

I recently had a social media exchange with a pronoun Karen who assured us that she did not think anything should happen to someone who accidentally “misgendered” someone – “misgendering” meaning referring to them by their objectively true gender. Of course, the unstated premise is that intentionally accurately assessing someone’s gender should lead to some sort of sanction. I do not recall voting for an exception to the principle of free speech regarding accurately stating one’s gender, and I don’t think you did either. I find it remarkable that a bunch of goofs in some faculty lounge had their motion to change basic societal assumptions seconded by the media and the Twitter blue checks and it is presumed to have passed. I thought Our Democracy was important, but apparently only Their Democracy is.

In any case, the backlash is coming. We’ll see attempts to suppress resistance with informal sanctions (people whining at us and calling us “transphobes,” as if their epithets mattered), social and economic sanctions (people being tossed off of social media or fired), and even legal sanctions (just wait until the New Army court martials someone for misgendering – it’ll happen).

But it’s not going to work. Oh, the swells will keep it up. It’s a virtue signal to refer to some confused 23-year-old as “they.” They get a nice social biscuit for doing it. But refusing to play along is now also a signifier for refusal to conform, and we need to continue and expand our refusal to conform no matter how hard they cry.

Massive Resistance To Abortion Reform

The Democrats sure hate it when the Supreme Court rejects long-standing precedent that allows the Party of Slavery to treat human beings inhumanly. They tend to try to massively resist the SCOTUS and its repudiation of their cruel practice. This was true when the judges banned school segregation in the '50s, and it is true now as the Court has sent the question of abortion restrictions back to the states.

Now the states have to figure out what they want to do. Hard red states protect babies. Blue states declare open season on them. Most states will debate and find some cut-off and that will be that. There’s really no way for the left to avoid having to actually make their case – except, shockingly, they can choose to lie instead.

Their passive aggressive deception has to do with creating confusion about bizarre and rare situations that they hope will discredit the entire idea of not killing babies. Remember, their goal is to shout their abortions until the kid’s head pops out or, if you listen to some of them, for some timeframe after the whole infant is out.

First, they claimed that women could get prosecuted for procedures that follow a miscarriage. It’s not as if this horrible circumstance was not bad enough without cruel libs preying on vulnerable, hurting women by lying to them. It’s not even a good lie in that – besides most statutes expressly excluding miscarriage procedures, a post-miscarriage D&C is not an abortion in any sense. Why would a pro-life person object to it? Well, none ever would because it does not take a life. These people really think women are stupid.

A similar issue is ectopic pregnancy, a pregnancy outside the uterus that cannot come to term. Again, the statutes often expressly exclude it from the definition of abortion because it is not one. And again, the pro-aborts try to leverage it to defeat the idea that you cannot kill a baby at eight months, three weeks.

Then there is the 10-year-old who allegedly had to go to Indiana from Ohio to get an abortion. So, she got an abortion – they should be delighted. Why crossing a state line is such a burden is unclear, but apparently the medical people involved needed an uproar and they got one until about the moment that it turned out that the impregnating creature was the illegal alien boyfriend of the kid’s mom. In other words, the sexual terrorism inflicted on children by the Biden administration’s conscious decision to refuse to enforce duly-passed laws – wait, who’s the threat to Our Democracy now? – is no longer confined to the border states. It’s in the Buckeye State too.

There is a lot more gross stuff wriggling around under this particular rock, including potential issues with failing to report the rape of this minor. The fact is that in the very rare cases where the pregnancy represents a true medical threat to the mother’s life (as here) or is the result of rape (as here, despite what leftist “minor-attracted people” say), abortion is generally possible, and if not it’s a short trip.

But maybe the answer is not to complain that abortion reform might make it somewhat inconvenient to compound the tragedy in a case like this and to deal with the root causes – open borders, as well as perverts, and the women who bring them into their house with their little kids.

But if we did that, there would be fewer abortions, and for some sick reason, these Moloch-worshipping freaks cannot abide that. What the hell is wrong with these people?
