Our enemies report that Khan is on board:

Quote
The woke language guide went on to cover the topic of gender, demanding that London government workers ditch the words  “male” and “female” as they are now considered “dated and medicalised”. “Men and women” therefore should be switched to “people” or “Londoners”, the Mayor’s guide argued.

“Similarly, instead of ‘ladies and gentlemen’ say something that doesn’t exclude non-binary people,” it said.

(Similarly at the UK border.)

The argument doesn't even make sense, given that Spain was one of the colonialist countries.

Sort of unrelated, but I find it annoying when reactionary Hispanics try to claim that people pushing for more gender neutrality in Spanish is “racist neo-colonialism”. Every single time the topic is brought up, it devolves into a massive argument, as if some people preferring to use “latine” over “latino” is the biggest tragedy and moral failing of our century. Did they forget that Spanish itself was a colonial language to begin with? And do they also not realize that none of the major Native American languages in Latin America have grammatical gender? Not Nahuatl, Maya, Quechua, or Guarani. By their own logic, if they’re so concerned about “neo-colonialism”, the “SJW” position on gender in Spanish is the one fighting against colonialism. Not that I’d expect such introspection. I have a feeling that these people like to pull the “Leftists are the REAL racists/colonialists” card when it suits them, and then immediately revert back to their Eurocentrism when the coast is clear

How to annoy Putin:

Quote
Putin continued, “But here is what I would like to tell them: look at the Holy Scripture and the main books of other world religions They say it all, including that family is the union of a man and a woman."

"But these sacred texts are now being questioned," he said. "Reportedly, the Anglican Church is planning, just planning, to explore the idea of a gender-neutral god. What is there to say? Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

The Anglican Church, the Church of England currently is considering using "gender-neutral terms to refer to God," reported the New York Times.

This could have been avoided if gendered pronouns were scrapped altogether (as we have proposed from the beginning), but as long as they exist, the ill-intentioned will exploit them for cruel purposes:

Montana bill would let students misgender classmates

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Montana schools would not be able to punish students who purposely misgender or deadname their transgender peers under a Republican-backed legislative proposal that opponents argue will increase bullying of children who are already struggling for acceptance.
...
“This would make Montana unique in enshrining the right to be bigoted toward or the right to bully trans children in the state code,” Hunt said.

Also doesn’t help that false leftists chose identity over individuality, so instead of having a united front against homophobia and transphobia, we just have a squabbling mess arguing over which box people are best crammed into. Exactly what rightists want.

"By framing the debate as heterosexuality and homosexuality, they soiled the whole thing and made almost every single argument surrounding it less productive, since the very inception of the word "sexuality". In short, the conflation of sex with romance drives me mad..."

But, "There are plenty of fish in the sea", "The world is your oyster", and sometimes you just need to "soil your oats".  ;D

I feel like semantics are a massive reason why the debate on "sexuality" is often so unproductive. We call people's orientations "sexualities", as if sex is the core of a relationship and actual romantic love is merely an extension of that, when it should so obviously be the other way around. Romantic love should be the core, but of course, both traditional and progressive societies are too obsessed with sex to see the bigger picture. When you try to explain to a right winger who happens to be against homo"""sexuality""" why the concept shouldn't be looked down upon as any less meaningful than a hetero"""sexual""" relationship, the right winger in question will often immediately go to images of sodomy in their head, along with any other images typically associated with such a relationship that they personally find distasteful. And why WOULDN'T it conjure such images in their head, when even the words we use to describe ROMANTIC ATTRACTION involve the word "sex"? Why do we not call it something like homoromanticism or something similar? I know that the end goal is to drop words describing various attractions from common use all together since they weren't important until rightists and false leftists made it important, but it's so painfully obvious that it was a mistake to let dishonorable people coin these terms in the first place. By framing the debate as heterosexuality and homosexuality, they soiled the whole thing and made almost every single argument surrounding it less productive, since the very inception of the word "sexuality". In short, the conflation of sex with romance drives me mad

The good:

Quote
Lufthansa Will No Longer Address Passengers As "Ladies And Gentlemen"
...
According to Travel + Leisure, “the German airline plans to do away with its traditional onboard greeting: ‘ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board.’ Instead, it will use gender-neutral alternatives, like ‘dear guests’ and a simple ‘welcome on board.’

The bad:

Quote
That said, the use of “sir” and “ma’am” wouldn’t be banned on board.

The Turanian linguistic heritage:

Quote
The publication wrote, “the language genders many words. Unlike English, which uses gender-neutral nouns, German has specific words for male doctor and female doctor and male editor and female editor.”

Similar sentiment has been expressed by Spanish, French and Italian groups, as all three languages utilize gendered words.

https://americanmilitarynews.com/2022/12/marine-corps-may-drop-maam-and-sir-for-drill-instructors/

Quote
The Marine Corps has been advised that its drill instructors should no longer be referred to by gendered terms like “ma’am” or “sir” — an idea that a top training leader has pushed back on.
...
“The Army, Navy, and Coast Guard effectively de-emphasize gender in an integrated environment,” the report says. “Instead of saying ‘ma’am’ or ‘sir,’ recruits in these Services refer to their drill instructors using their ranks or roles followed by their last names. Gendered identifiers prime recruits to think about or visually search for a drill instructor’s gender first, before their rank or role.”

The report’s authors add, “By teaching recruits to use gender-neutral identifiers for their drill instructors, Services underscore the importance of respecting authoritative figures regardless of gender.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGAwNV7WBIQ

But we always knew Marines are the most toxic branch:

Quote
Across all military branches, the Marine Corps has the smallest percentage of females serving, Marine Corps Times reported, and the branch has been slow to integrate men and women in boot camp as all other branches have already done.

The new report says Marine recruits have brushed aside female training staff in favor of male staff, who are seen as more authoritative, according to Marine Corps Times. And in one anecdote, drill instructors asked advice from a male peer while a female chief drill instructor stood ignored nearby.

It’s not clear whether the Corps will take the report’s advice. But the chief of staff for Marine Corps Training and Education Command, Col. Howard Hall, told Marine Corps Times it’s not as simple as tweaking training-level policies.

“It’s not something we would change overnight,” Hall said. “We’ve got a history of ‘sir, ma’am, sir, ma’am.’

Our enemies complain about common sense:

From next year, the booking system must also be changed so that Deutsche Bahn no longer only addresses its customers with “Mr.” or “Mrs.” [What about “It”?] Either it must be dropped completely, or the company must find a third form of address, which has so far been completely unclear.
...
“There are still no universally recognized standards for addressing non-binary gender people in the German-speaking world,” said a spokeswoman for Die Welt. Even within the group of people affected, the ideas about this are currently still very different.

Why not simply "Guest" ("Gast") for everyone?

(Sigh) I know that, but it's important for those looking for sources for bible/Gnostic text study to cite the proper book, chapter, and verse. Besides, anyone who sees that quote is invariably going to ask, 'Where does He say that?', so I'm helping them out.
