So, you can't back it up.

Just clarifying.
Go to his Facebook post from Wednesday. I'll give you a hint about the post, it's a picture of so called white supremacists, as labelled by this leftist, holding anti Isis banners. Luckily a leftist, probably your antifa brothers in arms , counter protest was organised, showing the lefts support of terrorist organisations.

Fancy university classes teaching kids all sides of a topic and asking them to think critically.
Quote Bastiat in a sociology exam and see how you get on.

Why can't this be discussed in a relevant subject?
Nazis are relevant to every topic

Its the one thing you have taught us all.

So you can't produce anything then?

You need to stop consuming the mainstream media. This is just another nothing tabloid story designed to appeal to emotional people looking to get outraged.

But if you have to leave, it's our loss. Bye.
So that have not been told to be gender neutral in their titles of the only 2 forms of the human species? Only a tabloid story is it?

So where did the story originate? And what will happen come commonwealth games time?
Probably the highly offended volunteer in the article went to the tabloid knowing she'd get a sympathetic ear.

What will happen? Some officials will follow the language advice, and nobody will notice. Other officials won't bother, and nobody will notice.

Isn’t that the rub? The whole thing is pointless and stupid so why bother people with it.

So in other words, politically correct policies are pointless and do nothing but stifle society in order to make the left feel good about themselves.

Next they'll be eradicating a certain number of languages, you know, the ones with gendered articles
Why would they do that? It seems to me that it's pretty easy to respect a person who's a visitor to your city and is spending money in the local economy by referring to them by their proffered pronoun. It's not going to lead to book burning for crying out loud.

i would imagine it's the middle-aged and older volunteers who are struggling to come to terms with the change in language. having spent some time growing up and ingesting media like youtube which is full of references to terms like cisgender, it leaves the youth in an easier position. this is their lingo.
it's quite an interesting exercise to think on the run, as you talk to someone or a group of people, to try to remove any gendered terms from what you're about to say. which is occasionally something i need to do at my place of employment.

that said, the moral high ground is a fairly small and precarious patch of turf. you only have to peruse any number of reddit threads to see pro-lgbtqi+ rights people arguing over whether or not someone is using the correct definition, or what that definition means, which is an odd position to take given gender has become inextricably tied to individuality and respecting another's own perceptions of their body.
there is some irony in using gender-neutral terms to accommodate everyone - once you get to know transgender individuals you may learn that gendered terms are in fact their preference.

one of the more interesting takes on creating new gender terms i've heard is not that they are being made up from thin air, but they have given names to things that have already existed.

There is a lot of nonsense that comes from the left. But this pronoun crap has to take the cake.

There are boys and girls and in very, very rare cases, there are hermaphrodites.

The ones who want to identify as cis or binary codes are just trying to justify their extreme confusion and make it seem like their choice to be odd is natural.

Pronoun for this one. - IT
