   You know, the gener-others aren't the ones whiing anbout pronouns, as they   
   aren't going to be hearing "him" or "her" too often; it's whiny guilty bleeding   
   hearts who stir it all up.  Just like "Native Americans/Canadians"; thgey   
   predfer the term Indian & laugh atr us quesing to get ever more convoluted in   
   avoiding this. . .   
      
   Columbus didn't think he was in India -- As an explorer, he knew the diference   
   & likely knew matterings of the language.  Some of the crew would've  been good   
   interpreters.  George Carlin posits that Chris, trying to speak pidgin Spanish   
   to his new sponsors, was saying a people "in Dios" (a people in God -- meaning   
   they were found to be living at one with nature)   
      
   I know a local hereabouts who describes himself as gender fluid.  One day he's   
   a he, another he's a she; different names in use each time -- I think this is a   
   clever ruse by our universal medical system not to have to pay to treat his   
   multiple personality disordy.   
      
   "Whatever you say you are is what you are."    
      
   Say WHAAAT?! Since when?!  Okay, I are a 17yo girl & I wish to attend the all   
   girls' high school near here! OOOOOH!Now the turkey turns?! BAH!   
      
   & when that gal in Frisco said she was black, they turned on her -- so it's   
   quite relative -- the last I checked, science is based on reproducible FACTS.   
   Not invented plumbs.   
      
   The n-word is basd,. but "the n-word" is okay?! When you say "the n-word" my   
   brain translates it to the word, so what did you accomplish?   
      
   & stop calling me physically challenged -- Sir Edmund Hillary was physically   
   challenged. I'm just crippled.   
      
   & if you're blind, you're not "sight impaired"; you're blind! My neighbour who   
   has 5% vision in one eye & 0 in the other is visually impaired.    
      
   I just am tired of being forced to play a game I don't even like (but I'm still   
   better at it than most!)
