"...Tips About Pronouns

• Do not refer to a person’s pronouns as their “preferred” pronouns or “gender” pronouns. Using “preferred” implies that a person’s pronoun selection is merely a preference and, therefore, something that is not required. Using “gender” ignores people who are agender.
• Always use the pronouns that a person asks you to use.
• When you make a mistake, ACT: Apologize > Correct > Try Again. 
• Do not assume you know someone’s pronouns based on their name, the way they look, their voice, how they dress, or any other factor.
• If you don’t know someone’s pronouns, ask (politely). Don’t just ask people who you assume are trans.
• Share your pronouns and create opportunities for people to share their pronouns, like in email signatures or at the beginning of meetings. Please note that some transgender and nonbinary people will opt out of sharing as a means of self-protection...

Pete Buttigieg Frets That Too Many Construction Crews 'Don't Look Like' The Neighborhoods They Work In

"We have heard way too many stories from generations past of infrastructure where you got a neighborhood, often a neighborhood of color, that finally sees the project come to them but everyone in the hardhats on that project looking like, doing the good-paying jobs, don't look like they came from anywhere near the neighborhood."

Then why do he, Biden, and other Democrats require companies to abide by prevailing wage laws, which have oppressed minorities for over 90 years?...

Why Is the Left Pushing Straight Men to Date Trans Dudes?

Why Is the Left Pushing Straight Men to Date Trans Dudes?
"...For starters, I had no idea that the push for gay marriage — technically a libertarian movement — would eventually lead to leftist harpies insisting, in a most authoritarian way, that I sleep with transgender women men in dresses to prove I’m not a “bigot.”

FACT-O-RAMA! The LGBT movement began by asking for “tolerance.” Then they wanted “acceptance.” Now they insist we straight men Drive Mr. Daisy or else the gaystapo will shriek “TRANSPHOBE!” at me as I walk by with my very real Puerto Rican fiancé.

Systemic Vice Signaling Destroying Science: Fewer Animals Found In Cities, Hence “Racism”

Systemic Vice Signaling Destroying Science: Fewer Animals Found In Cities, Hence “Racism”

• The Proceedings of the National Academy of Science used to be a prestigious journal. And still is. Getting a paper in PNAS is a mark of approval from the scientific community at large. It is seen as a mark of approval for one’s work.
• Therefore, if that journal publishes an asinine preposterous sloppy piece of foolish fluff, it must mean that the scientific community sees asinine preposterous sloppy foolish fluff as good.

Our peer-reviewed PNAS paper is “Systemic racism alters wildlife genetic diversity” by Chloe Schmidt and Colin J. Garroway. I don’t know, but I’m guessing with those names the Canada-based authors are white.
The title announces its falsity. 

We know that we must be in for a piece of science fantasy fiction, because we know there is no such thing as “systemic racism” against blacks. 

Indeed, all observation shows at all official levels, public and private, the opposite is true...

Weather not following the narrative!

Confirmed: Memphis Cop Sent Pics of Beaten Tyre Nichols to 'Female Acquaintance'

"A few weeks after five Memphis Police officers administered a fatal beating to Tyre Nichols on Jan. 7, 2023, rumors began circulating that there may have been a personal aspect to the case. 

Now, newly released documents sent to a Tennessee state board as part of the decertification process for the five former officers confirm that Demetrius Hall did indeed photograph Nichols after the beating, and he sent the images to at least six people, including “one female acquaintance.”
...The confirmation of a possible personal aspect to the beating is leading some to question the official narrative — that Tyre Nichols was just another unarmed black man murdered by poorly trained, brutal, racist police officers...
