Where Will This End?
I am in favor of people wearing almost ANYTHING they want. I am in favor of people being anything they want to be. Do you want to cosplay as a woman or a squirrel?? Go ahead. I am against, however, forcing the world to bend and change to accommodate your wishes. I am against sexualizing shows or demonstrations for kids (that includes drag queens but also female strippers).
I am NOT in favor of celebrating psychiatric issues. If you are bipolar and in a manic phase then should the world accommodate your obsessive spending or gambling? If you are bulimic, should we not try to get you some help or should we applaud every time you come out of the bathroom after purging?
The above video is from Disneyland in California. It is of a guy wearing a mustache and makeup in a dress. He thinks he is a woman. Is it gender dysphoria? Who knows? Some are celebrating the freedom the company is allowing this person. Really? Are you telling me there weren’t enough female candidates that wanted this job? Obviously, someone at Disney was virtue signaling and trying to make a point.
What if a white person identifies as being black and comes in for an interview with Disney with blackface on? Should Disney accommodate that person? There are plenty of black characters in Disney movies that need representation at the parks. Why can’t the white person in blackface do it?
I am not sure who decides what is out of bounds anymore. Let’s have a massively obese person be Tinkerbell. Let’s have a 90-year-old white woman play Pocohantas. Or do the rules only apply to those with gender dysphoria now?
Where will this insanity end? Here’s is Johns Hopkins decided to do:
A pronoun usage guide from Johns Hopkins Medicine details 50 different pronouns that health care employees could use in the workplace, with other options including ve, xe, per and ae.
The guide includes examples of how to use the pronouns, such as: “Ae cleaned the office all by aerself,” or “I gave faer the key.” The guide also shows how to use titles correctly, such as using “Mr.” for men, “Miss” for women, or “Mx.” for “nonbinary or gender diverse people.”
It is not transphobic, squirrel-phobic, princess-phobic, blackface-phobic to criticize and openly communicate about issues. This nonsense has to stop.
Large corporations realistically only speak in one language no matter how woke they think they are. Target corporation put out a clothing line and put it front and center about aggressively, pushing for and in pediatric sizes pushing for trans and LGBT issues in an openly satanic line of clothing. They have lost hundreds of millions of dollars in a week and a half. This is the language big corporations understand. If you do not wish to have your child or grandchild exposed to this type of dress then don’t go. They will get that message – they don’t read blogs they don’t care about the conservative and frankly they don’t care about the woke. They care about money. That is the language that needs to be spoken. Disney is a sovereign corporation that can do whatever the heck they want and I have no business telling them what to do. But I can attend or not attend based on my wishes and my sovereignty.
We wouldn’t be having all this pronoun bullshit if everyone spoke Klingon.
I never learned. It sounds like Klingon is not a gendered language. I’ve never been able to learn Spanish.
I hear there’s a job opening with the Office of Nuclear Energy, Department of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition.
Talent is wasted with Disney.
Re: Johns Hopkins- Medical providers need not care about the appropriate treatment of diabetes, hypertension or trauma, just use the proper 50 some odd pronouns for the .1% of the population. And make sure you always use the right one for each person. This is lunacy.
So people can wear almost anything they want but people who work at Disneyland can only wear what you think they should wear? You want Disney to bend and change to accommodate your wishes?
Life’s too short . . .
You are consistent, Stewart. You never read the whole piece and never get the point. Just as ignorant as ever. Stay Golden, Pony boy.
“This nonsense has to stop”
The end.
The author very much wants to impose his/her/it/ve/ae/xe standards on others.
I very much got the point – I’m just criticizing and communicating without ad hominem attacks.
Clueless.
Honestly don’t get how I’m being clueless.
First five paragraphs are about dress policies for employees at Disney (a private company)
Last paragraph is about a (admittedly, rather silly) non-mandatory usage guide at Hopkins (again a private institution).
The author concludes that “this has to stop.” No clear antecedent for what “this” is. No explanation of why – apparently, just because the author doesn’t like “this.” No explanation of how – laws? government force? boycotts?
“I am not sure who decides what is out of bounds anymore” – I’d say in these two cases, it’s the employer.
Celebrating psychiatric disease. Dick.
Do you mean to suggest that anyone dressing or representing themselves as they wish is automatically acceptable in a children’s setting?
I mean to suggest that I have no problems with the situation that the author has chosen to discuss.
