IN-DEPTH: Tide Is Turning on Tolerance for Transgender Ideology

‘People are sick of being pushed around and told they can’t even ask questions,’ said one commentator

Over the past few years, the transgender movement has pushed its way into every nook and cranny of American culture, and major institutions and authorities have tried to force all people to go along with it.

But now, the tide is turning.

It started quietly, with biological science and objective reality being given a backseat to internal feelings and chosen identity. To become a member of the opposite sex, all one needs to do is declare it to be so and others will be forced to acknowledge it is so.

Next came the reengineering of language. The word โ€œsex,โ€ which defines a man or a woman, has been replaced by the word โ€œgender,โ€ which can be anything.

Then came the new terms and pronouns.

To help people keep up with the growing list of terms and pronouns, Trans Student Educational Resources provides a tutorial, advising that โ€œthese are not the only pronounsโ€ and that โ€œthere are an infinite number of pronouns as new ones emerge in our language.โ€

For those who struggle to differentiate and understand the new terms and pronouns, thereโ€™s an โ€œLGBTQ+ Glossaryโ€ explaining all of the gender terms, acronyms, initialisms, and pronouns on their ever-evolving and expanding list.

Even the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services provides instruction and guidance on the proper use of โ€œGender Pronouns & Their Use in Workplace Communications,โ€ warning that โ€œintentional refusal to use someoneโ€™s correct pronouns is equivalent to harassment and a violation of oneโ€™s civil rights.โ€

Refusal to use a colleagueโ€™s preferred pronoun at work can result in punishment or termination.

Erasing Women

Then came the effort to erase womanhood itself.

Females are no longer โ€œwomen.โ€ Those promoting gender ideology cannot define the term โ€œwoman,โ€ and women are instead referred to as โ€œbirthing peopleโ€ or โ€œpeople with uteruses.โ€ There are also claims that โ€œmen can have periodsโ€ and โ€œwomen have penises.โ€
