I imagine the whole gender debate will come back up when Biden gets in office.
"Babies should choose their own gender" "Get rid of male and female bathrooms"

How many sexualities are out there now? i saw 20 new ones.

We are in a pandemic and they are worried about pronouns.

Just give it time.

Could not have said the bolded part better myself. Since when was thinking in lockstep ever good?

Right, the gender pronoun issues are aready here in schools, business, government, social interactions and it is confusing. The new House rule is old stuff, decades behind the times. We're on the way down the pronoun slippery slope, but these changes don't move us down any further.

imo. Pelosi made much more of the gender equality changes than they're worth as a sop to the left's pronoun police.

It would be no surprise to discover that they a number of them are either demon possessed or are enthusiastic worshipers of Satan, and very possibly both.
