Words have impact, especially to those that choose to create them The whole pronoun debacle tends to make the trans movement (https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/inside-the-transgender-empire/) look as if under attack and offended at every turn. Why? They want to be known as victims. Victims, through continued complaining seem to become the "chosen" of the left. The epitome of what has become a giant "pity party".

Look at what the original pity party has done for the blacks. They now have attained an offended lottery of guaranteed 13% inclusion at every level of every industry and science. If they cannot acheive that number, special testing or lowering the qualifications for them are done. I quote Heather Mac Donald of the Manhatten Institute: "The average Medical College Achievement Test (MCAT) score for black applicants is a standard deviation below the average score of white applicants. Some medical schools have waived the submission of MCAT scores altogether for black applicants. The tests were already redesigned to try to eliminate the disparity. A quarter of the questions now focus on social issues and psychology. The medical school curriculum is being revised to offer more classes in white privilege and focus less on clinical practice. The American Association of Medical Colleges will soon require that medical faculty demonstrate knowledge of “intersectionality”—a theory about the cumulative burdens of discrimination. Heads of medical schools and chairmen of departments like pediatric surgery are being selected on the basis of identity, not knowledge."

And this type of "special consideration" has already started for the Alphabet group. Gays (who I believe is 98% a group of choice over nature) now have protection as a group. So why would anyone with a mild excuse of not "feeling" comfortable in their own body join that wonderful ride? Who will be next? The illegals that just for slithering into the country, get better benefits than I receive having worked for 55 years.

Of course, to object to any of these reverse injustices, is to be labeled and ridiculed. Loss of jobs and being forced to resign at even top levels. So people just shut the hell up. Well, sorry, not me. Call me what you want, label me as you wish. I have now joined the unprotected group of speak the truth, never apologize, and never back down.
