How to annoy Putin:

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.

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

Our enemies report that Khan is on board:

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.

Other good ideas:

Sadiq Khan, has issued Orwellian Newspeak language guidance to civil servants demanding that they no longer use the term “illegal migrants” or “illegal aliens”

Thank you!

The congresswoman at one point repeated five times that it is legal to claim asylum at the U.S. border.

"It is legal to claim asylum at the United States border. It is legal. It is legal. It is legal. It is legal to claim asylum," Ocasio-Cortez said.]

(Similarly at the UK border.)
