A pig is more appropriate representation of the Democrat party than the traditional donkey. I think it is time for a change of emblems.

Let's be clear. There are two sexes, male and female. Or if you prefer, man and woman, or boy and girl. It is all the same. If you have a Y chromosome, you are a male. If you only have X chromosomes, you are a female.

This 'nonbinary' business is the talk of true lunatics who are gaslighting our society in an absolutely monstrous and evil manner. Seeing this being formally proposed for adoption into the rules of the US House of Representatives is a clear validation of the concerns that people have that the Democrat left is openly advocating for the destruction of our society in any traditional sense and that they are enabling the agendas of some serious psychopaths to the detriment of the normal population of people.
Maybe they just don't know how to follow the science.

Genderless, masked, and dehumanized

That is actually right.

Which of the dystopian fiction writers has ever been as extreme and evil as what the Democrat left is currently trying to implement? I have read a lot of this kind of stuff, and I cannot think of one.

Well, perhaps, but I would go with something for the democrats more along the lines of a parasitic organism.

Say the Kamikaze horsehair worm (Paragordius tricuspidatus):

First, a tiny horsehair worm larva is eaten by the larva of another insect, such as a mosquito or mayfly. Once this emerges from the water, a cricket or grasshopper will snatch it up. Then the horsehair worm begins to develop inside the cricket in earnest.

But the worm's final stage of development takes place in water. The cricket wouldn't normally swim, or even hang out near water, so the worm must get it there.

By altering the functions of the cricket's central nervous system, the worm coerces it into jumping slap bang into the nearest body of water. The hapless cricket then drowns itself, allowing the horsehair worm to emerge and reproduce.

From the outside, you wouldn't be able to tell if a cricket had been infected, but neurologically, the worm is in control. Ben Hanelt of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, who studies the worms, says he has seen a whopping 32 worms pushing themselves out of one luckless host.



The liberal does something similar to its host, the taxpayer. At some point, the taxpayer mysteriously votes for its own destruction.

The purpose is to use gender neutral words when they're appropriate and and be more concise. These changes have zip to do with using ze or hir or any other made-up pronouns. If anything, these changes are decades late. The words 'children, spouse, parents, grandparents' are regular words we use all the time and do the job.

oh, but it IS or nothing would NEED to change.

id say drones, but they are "male"

yep, first thing that occurs to me is the money they will spend to form a committee, go through whats bound to be libraries worth of legislation to re-write and print and so on! all because 20 people dont like their pee-pees.
