Changing the term doesn’t begin to change the problem – part 2

Sufficiently advanced political correctness is indistinguishable from sarcasm. — Erik Naggum

Alright class! Let’s continue with our unyielding effort to redress the progressive notion that redefining a term somehow mitigates the underlying problem. And we’ve saved the best for last, too!

5. “Mothers” briefly became “birthing people”

If it wasn’t for this abomination dying a horrific political death about ten seconds after it was introduced, this one would top our list. Concocted by Democratic strategists who were terrified of offending the 540,000 U.S. trans women by aptly noting they couldn’t have children, those idiots thought it would be far more effective to alienate the 108,000,000 women who could.

There’s nothing quite like being reduced to your basic biological imperative, is there?

In fact, this bridge too far went so far that I believe it’s the proximate cause for the Congressional political caucus being tied up, mouths duct taped, and being shoved into a locked closet between votes.

As Bill Maher essentially said, “Only Democrats could screw up the first word a child says.”

6. “Latino/Latina” and “Hispanic” become “Lantinx”

Do we really need a new word here? Was two terms too much for today’s socially overwhelmed progressives to handle? Is it so difficult to tell Hispanic men and women apart that the left was forced to throw in the towel?

As you might imagine, the kick in the progressive ass is Latinos and Latinas HATE this term, which is a perfect example of the left single-handedly deciding what’s best for the rest of us while fully failing to consult those upon whom they brutally bestow their inimitable “wisdom.”

C’mon! “Latinx” sounds like a car polishing product, a laundry detergent for togas, or Mexican porn. Regardless, it’s time to relegate this nitwittedness to history’s vast dustbin.

Moving on…

7. “Master bedroom” is now “primary bedroom”

This one actually made me laugh out loud.

Yes! Since the liberal loons are running out of targets, now they’re attacking real estate agents. As the patron saint of political incorrectness, Archie Bunker, would say, “Good night noyse!”

Having never previously heard of this particular abomination, I ran across it in an attempt to be as thorough here as possible. Apparently, we’re supposed to drop the whole “master bedroom” mien due to its potential “negative connotations.” But there’s absolutely no historical evidence of it ever being tied to slavery or sexism.

So, now we’re dispensing with words that could be construed negatively if one is specifically prone to making those kinds of illogical jumps? “Primary bedroom” is a perfect indication of the progressive mindset where, just like it was with those evil McCarthyist commies, there’s an old white conservative male under every bed.

I guess one can never be too careful.

The hilarity here is, until they made a point of doing this, I never considered that “negative” possibility. I similarly had no clue that Mr. Webb may have been anti-gay until they insisted NASA rename the telescope nor did I know the Audubon family owned slaves.

But now I think about those situations every time I hear those terms. This, of course, begs the question, “With friends like progressives, who needs enemies?”

I suppose there’s something to be said for being hoist by your own verbal petard.

Oh! And by the way, I can tell you with certainty that it truly is the “master bedroom” because the master kicked my husbandly white ass out of there years ago for snoring too frequently and too loudly.

9. “Cisgender” as the opposite of “transgender,” or to replace “gender normative”

Talk about an utterly unnecessary word, and thus, a solution in search of a problem. If it wasn’t for the brief existence of “birthing people” it would clearly be the most imbecilic term anyone’s ever managed to coin.

Why do we need a word that adds no pertinent information? It’s like calling me “pasty white.” The adjective is pretty much a given.

With the exception of pointing out naked emperors here, I can’t remember the last time I’ve used “transgender,” “cisgender,” or “gender normative.” And I have no intention of reversing that trend because it only serves to thrust a person’s sexuality to the forefront when it’s the least consequential symptom of the content of their character.

Trust me! I understand my take on this one is so much worse than bigotry, but unless we’re on a date, I have no intention of spending a single solitary second considering your sexuality. There are far better things to waste my time on like the impending NFL draft.

Worse yet, “cisgender” was intended to normalize the term “transgender,” but all it’s done is highlight the difference and create further division. How many states have already banned gender affirming care?

Great job non-cisgenders!

so, no! Just like it is with the rest of the idiocracy we’ve covered, should you unwisely choose to use that term in my presence, whether it’s applied to me or not, I would advise you to start running as fast as you possibly can.

That means this one goes just like all the rest.
