Preferred Pronouns or Prison​

Abigail Shrier

“He.” “She.” “They.” Have you ever given a moment’s thought to your everyday use of these pronouns? It has probably never occurred to you that those words could be misused. Or that doing so could cost you your business or your job—or even your freedom. Journalist Abigail Shrier explains how this happened and why it’s become a major free speech issue.

Fortunately for me, I live in the Ozarks where political correctness is undoubtedly some years away. The only gender ambiguity here is in one of two cases: First, when it comes inanimate objects, as in “I turned the crank but she wouldn’t start.” And now and then a city person will refer to a male bovine as a “cow”.

Sure it has! Rules of engagement have been included in diversity training at various places I’ve worked (and where family members have worked) for at least the past 20 years. But I could also loose my job just for making a disagreeable social media post (it’s in the employment contract). In the local public school systems teachers are also informed of rules of interaction with transgender students.

A small critique of the video; it talks about sex while transgender people tend to take about gender.

Also the California law is applicable to long term medical facilities.
 
When mr 6 was 4 he named his pet bull calf ( who was steered) boy cow

I think of my car as a girl
 
Undoubtedly your car really is a girl.

Now that you mention it, womens’ cars are different from mens’ cars. First of all, they smell perfumey. Secondly, they’re neat, without mud or stuff on the floor. And women actually dust the dash. Finally, they ALWAYS have a box of Kleenex in them.
 
Hubby sold his vehicle so he takes mine to the cow shed on a daily basis currently she has gumboots in the boot and is covered in mud from.going up the tanker track however I did put in an extra air freshener. We’ve also been using her to move the local st Vincent De Paul from.one location to another so she is screaming out for a clean right now

I call my car ‘Car’ (as in ‘Morning, Car, how’s it going?’)

‘Car’ is small as cars go, Car has a very big engine for cars that are ‘Car’ size.

This is because my father bought cars that were small but had big engines, we learned to drive in them.

The era of small, snarly, very fast cars is coming to an end.

My husband likes really safe big, 4-wheel-drive ‘Chelsea Tractors’.

It’s sad.
 
Off the subject, but I see you’re a Kiwi. We have a fair number of them (and Aussies) here. They operate very large cattle operations. I asked why here, and the answers are:
  1. Land is incredibly expensive in NZ, far less so here.
  2. The climate and grass species are such that they allow for year-round grazing.
Therefore, they only buy land in a narrow strip of the U.S. that’s neither too far north for warm season grasses or too far south for cool season grasses, where cattle never need to be in shelter, where there’s plenty of water, and not too hot or dry. That’s not too common, but there’s a lot more of it in the U.S. than elsewhere.

They raise beef cattle, but also milk them; something Americans don’t do. Beef breed milk is really rich, though not copious, and they sell it to the specialty cream product makers, like the fancy, super-expensive ice creams that only the wealthy even know about.
 
Land is very expensive here your correct about that. House prices are absolutely shocking as well fortunately we were able to buy our home I know many people who unfortunately cannot due to rising prices. It’s a little small for our needs but we’ve adapted to it.
 
Just for fun, ranch land here (southern Mo) is about $4,400/acre in NZ dollars. For good row crop land it’s more than that. I’m believing a NZ dollar is about 68 cents U.S.
 
Woah I have to move there im currently trying to buy a 5 acre lifestyle block with my parents 5 acres no house rough hill country covered in holes and scrub $70,000 NZD for the worst peice of land imaginable I think it will be a.great starting point
But $70,000 seems so far out of reach ( my in laws lifestyle block is valued at $550,000 NZD and that’s only 5 acres including their house) everything costs so much here and it’s super hard to even have a starting point
 
The transgender ideology is very self-destructive.

The logical extension from self-mutilation to suicide is very evident
for those that can see it (here).

There is enormous “conscience-salve” necessary to live with that for those who think that way.

Since so many people engage in sexual-deviancy at this point in time (including via thought i.e. pornography) we would expect draconian laws (i.e. “Preferred Pronouns or Prison”) to act as a “social sedative” for the self-conviction that
people (probably especially the politicians who are in a position to “craft” such “laws” along with their leftist think-tank cohorts)
who engage in this objective disorder are consistently experiencing.

Instead of more despotic “laws” that can never deliver the “salve” that these people so desperately desire, we need to talk about sin and grace with confused people with bewildered sexual identities.

Highlighting the gifts and graces of the Confessional is a good way to help these confused folks when in personal discussions and other times the opportunity arises to urge utilizing such gifts.

Confession will act as a channel of grace that mere discussions and “pep-talks” could never acheive.

I think that’s why so many Kiwis have moved here. I’m completely serious. But some of those NZ companies hire locals, so I imagine they would hire Kiwis too.

I don’t know what a lifestyle block is. But a residence of that cost would probably be a FHA mortgage here, 100% of the purchase price. $550,000 here would probably buy a 4,000 square foot house on five acres, or perhaps a new 3000 square foot house on sixty acres. That would be new construction. My son just bought a sixty acre place with a 2500 s.f. 30 year old brick house in wooded hills overlooking a live stream for $180,000.00. I think he got a bargain, but not an absolute steal. If I’m right about the exchange rate, that would be $264,000 NZ dollars.

I could sell my house pay my mortgage and pay cash for a house over there and still have money left over… all I would need to do is find a job
