Normal progress entails terms being deleted from the Newspeak Dictionary, with the ultimate objective of reducing us to subservient grunts. But sometimes a new word is added. Introducing theydy:

It would be hard not to agree that she isn’t a lady.

As David Thompson suggests, this helps explain why résumés with alternative pronouns are wisely ignored.

Thanks to social engineers, women are undergoing erasure. By the time they are done pruning the Newspeak Dictionary, there won’t be such a thing as men either.

The Daily Mail reports that the word “Englishman” has been banned:

The Geneva-based World Intellectual Property Organisation – which protects trademarks and patents globally – has also vetoed masculine terms including ‘forefathers’ and ‘brother­hood of man’.

The World Intellectual Property Organisation is yet another tentacle of the comical yet malevolent black hole for US taxpayer money called the United Nations.

Even ‘man’s best friend’ has been blacklisted – with ‘a faithful dog’ to be used instead.

WIPO’s Guidelines on Inclusive Language explain that “masculine-specific” terms might constitute microaggressions by suggesting that “women are not represented in certain groups or do not possess certain skills.” Yet you are not allowed to say “waitress” or “midwife” either, since women are getting erased too.

As Toby Young of the Free Speech Union observes,

“Banning certain words and phrases to advance a dogmatic political ideology is a hallmark of totalitarianism.”

It will all be much simpler when liberal utopia is achieved. Then permissible vocabulary will be reduced to a sheeplike bleating noise.

According to the postmodern doctrine of modern liberalism, what we call reality is a social construct that can be arbitrarily altered by compelling changes to language. The objective of this ideology is to destroy society at the most fundamental level. That’s why they relentlessly attack the family and the gender binary. It’s why bureauweenies in Vermont have deleted “son” and “daughter” from the Newspeak Dictionary:

Vermont public health officials are encouraging teachers and parents to ditch the phrases “son” and “daughter” this back-to-school season in the name of classroom equity.

“Use ‘child’ or ‘kid’ instead of ‘daughter’ or ‘son,’” reads an Inclusive Language for Families document published Wednesday on Facebook by the Vermont Department of Health.

When Big Government takes over healthcare, it is no longer about health; it is about health equity. That is, it is about moonbattery:

The inclusive language guide is part of the department’s initiative for health equity, the central pillar of the state’s five-year strategic plan for health improvement.

If the notion of a 5-year plan sounds familiar, you are probably thinking of the Soviet Union — or maybe I should be more specific and say the original Soviet Union, where these plans were imposed to radically transform Russian society. Looks like they will serve a similar purpose in the second Soviet Union progressives are inflicting in place of America.

It is not only women that moonbat social engineers want to eradicate; they are canceling all things masculine too. Consider Newcastle University’s latest edition of the Newspeak Dictionary:

Newcastle University suggests the avoidance of “patronising and gendered terms” such as “girls, pet or ladies” in a guide on inclusive language aimed at researchers.

Being inclusive also requires excluding any reminders that men were once masculine. The terms “man up” and “grow some balls” comprise thoughtcrime because they “are incredibly sexist phrases.”

They would cut to the chase and forbid any vocalization other than a sheeplike bleating noise, but if they didn’t make regular updates to the Newspeak Dictionary, educrats would have nothing to do with their time.

Refreshing honesty from the moonbat-subverted Church of England. It is dropping the pretense of still being a church:

The Church of England is increasingly dropping the word “church” in favour of “relevant and modern-sounding” descriptions such as “community”, a new study suggests.

The Anglican church appears to be increasingly avoiding the word “church” when discussing the creation of new worshipping communities and congregations, a report has found.

Update your copy of the Newspeak Dictionary. The word “church” has been deprecated.

The latest new vocabulary term in the Newspeak Dictionary is “humanitarian entrant.” This might be defined as “an illegal alien upon whom Democrats are showering your money”:

PRUCOL stands for “permanent residence under color of law.” It pertains only to free money eligibility, not to actual immigration status. Moochers from abroad can be illegal aliens and still have PRUCOL status.

What’s the difference between “undocumented people” (i.e., foreign invaders acknowledged to be in the USA illegally), PROCUL people, and “humanitarian entrants”? You would have to ask one of the termites comprising the federal bureaucracy.

Democrats didn’t like it when slavery was abolished in this country the century before last. So they instituted a new form of slavery, via the welfare state. You work so that “humanitarian entrants” from other countries don’t have to.

On a tip from R F.

Normally updates to the Newspeak Dictionary entail deletion of innocuous words our moonbat rulers have arbitrarily canceled. But sometimes new words are added — like “grossophobic”:

A French DJ who performed during the Paris Olympics’ opening ceremony has filed a legal complaint after receiving abuse online.

Barbara Butch took part in a drag queen sequence during the event which sparked controversy as viewers interpreted it as a reference to The Last Supper.

Despite insolent lies to the contrary, there is no doubt the repugnant spectacle was intended as a desecration of the Last Supper.

A lawyer for Barbara Butch said the DJ “has been threatened with death, torture and rape, and has also been the target of numerous antisemitic, homophobic, sexist and grossophobic insults”.

In a great leap forward for totalitarianism, Butch is calling on the French government to punish people for finding her disgusting.

While stridently portraying herself as a victim, the crybully shrieked, “All my life, I’ve refused to be a victim: I won’t shut up.” No doubt the second part is true.

“Grossophobic” is a revolutionary linguistic innovation, considering the moonbat proneness to repulsiveness. Now it is thoughtcrime not to find them appealing.

As noted below, the illicit drug epidemic is fueled by welfare, which enables the irresponsible drug-oriented lifestyle. This is not a bug but a feature. We know the Democrats in charge of handing out other people’s money want to worsen the drug crisis, because what they want more of, they destigmatize.

To quote press officer Katie Clark of the National Institute on Drug Abuse:

“I also noticed that in the questions you sent below, you used the term ‘substance abuse,’ and wanted to flag that NIDA recommends saying ‘substance use’ or ‘substance misuse’ instead. For more information on this guidance, please see NIDA’s resource on Preferred Language for Talking About Addiction. Often unintentionally, many people still talk about addiction in ways that are stigmatizing—which may prevent people who have a substance use disorder from seeking treatment.”

Yeah right.

Among moonbats, to euphemize is to endorse. They don’t demand we use euphemisms for things they don’t like.

Ms. Clark concluded with this admonition: “Making simple changes in language can help reduce or avoid harmful stigma and negativity around substance use disorders, especially in news stories and reporting on addiction.”

Update your copy of the Newspeak Dictionary accordingly.

Why do progressives want us to wallow in poisons like the fentanyl that they allow to gush across the undefended border? Because recreational drug use accelerates societal decay, which in turn reduces the population to a sub-American level willing to accept leftist rule.

On a tip from Varla.

Once people realize the crap sandwich doesn’t taste so good, it needs to be renamed. That’s why progressivism is now “liberalism.” Likewise, corporate moonbattery, previously known as “ESG” (environmental, social, governance), is now to be called “transition investing.”

As noted at American Thinker,

ESG as a buzzword really came to mainstream recognition after being vigorously promoted and spoken about by Larry Fink of BlackRock.

But now, as reported at Just the News,

The company recently updated its climate and decarbonization stewardship guidelines. The document makes no mention of ESG, but it shows in many ways, the world’s largest investment manager with $10 trillion in assets under management is still pursuing many of the same goals.

These pernicious not to mention unprofitable left-wing goals are now referred to as “transition investing.”

One of the main criticisms of ESG is that it pushes progressive policies through a process that circumnavigates elected officials and the courts. When investment firms require banks, for example, to meet certain ESG “sustainability goals,” capital in the market gets bound up with leftist political objectives through administrative rulemaking.

Farmers (and those of us who consume their products) are hard hit by climate cult kookiness insidiously imposed in the name of ESG through banks:

The Buckeye Institute, a free-market think tank, released a report earlier this year estimating the cost of compliance with net-zero emissions policies and corporate ESG reporting requirements on American farms. According to the report, farmers will see costs rise at least 34%, which will translate to annual grocery bills rising by 15%.

Thankfully,

The ESG movement has received a lot of pushback over the past couple of years from state legislatures and Congress.

So Larry Fink won’t say “ESG” anymore. He’ll just call it something else. That makes it harder to pass laws against.

The worst may be yet to come:

Would farmers be forced to buy battery-powered farm equipment? Prohibited from using oil or gas for fuel? Mandated to plant GMO seed exclusively and forced to use Big Pharma’s pesticides and herbicides? Could “sustainability” mean land “reforms” for the sake of “reparations” and “justice?”

“Transition investing” begs an ominous question. Transition to what?

On tips from R F and Mr. Freemarket.

To replace civilization with their conception of utopia, liberals must first destroy it at the most fundamental level. The most basic unit of society, the family, is based on the gender binary, which therefore must be eradicated. An update to the Newspeak Dictionary by Biden’s Department of the Interior applies to this end:

The 24-page document, called the U.S. Department of the Interior Inclusive Language Guide and published this month “for official use only,” details what terms bureaucrats should use or avoid when discussing gender and sexuality.

The guide includes a list of 104 different terms that the Interior recommends bureaucrats replace with alternate, approved words. “Husband” and “wife,” for example, should be replaced with “spouse, partner, significant other,” the federal agency says. “Daughter” and “son” should also be replaced with “child” or “kid” …

The Interior guide even tells bureaucrats to refrain from assuming anyone’s gender and to instead refer to everyone with the pronouns “they/them” to “avoid making assumptions.”

Here’s why bureauweenies are supposed to confusingly refer to individuals as “they” rather than “he or she”:

The plural pronoun is said to be a superior alternative to the phrase “he or she,” because it implies “an exclusively binary nature of gender and exclude individuals who do not use these pronouns like gender non-conforming people.”

Growing the psychosis of such individuals is a central focus of social engineers tasked with societal demolition.

Under liberal domination, “preferred pronouns” must be used in place of accurate pronouns so as to explicitly reject objective reality in obsequious deference to the depraved ideology of the sexually insane. Yet even the term “preferred pronouns” has been struck from the Newspeak Dictionary:

“Staff should refrain from the term ‘preferred pronouns’ because it implies a choice about one’s gender. Use ‘pronouns’ or ‘identified pronouns’ instead.”

More linguistic requirements from the Department of the Interior:

• Replace “Aunt/Uncle” with “Parent’s sibling”

• Replace “male” with “all genders”

• Replace “ladies” with “everyone”

• Replace “gay” with “LGBTQIA+ person”

• Replace “transgender” with “transgender person”

• Replace “opposite sex” with “different sex”

• Replace “woman/women” with “person, people, individual, individuals”

• Replace “sex change” with “transition”

• Replace “father/mother” with “parent, caregiver, care provider”

Before you complain that your tax dollars should not be wasted on this nonsense, keep in mind that vocabulary proscriptions imposed on bureaucrats will inevitably apply to the rest of us. It is a crucial service of the federal government, no doubt detailed in some shadowy penumbra in the Constitution, to codify what speech is acceptable. Otherwise, we might accidentally use a word that is no longer permissible, thereby committing bigotry, resulting in our cancelation.

Updates to the Newspeak Dictionary are contributed by every sector of society that has succumbed to the Long March Through the Institutions — including even the airline industry:

Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l, represents over 70,000 pilots worldwide and states that it collaborates with a United Nations agency on its policies.

According to a diversity, equity and inclusion language guide released in 2021, the ALPA lists numerous terms and phrases to avoid — especially “masculine generalizations” — that it deemed to be non-inclusive.

Excluded vocabulary includes “cockpit,” which the Thought Police construe to have a sexual implication. The term originally comes from cockfighting.

ALPA’s guide called for the words “man” and “men” to be avoided. It offered suggestions for the word “manpower,” including “people/human power.”

Liberal utopia will have no place for the concept of a man. Already, the word “woman” has been rendered so meaningless that liberal establishmentarians cannot define it.

ALPA advised against using “mother/father.” That phrasing could alienate “different family structures, such as grandparents as caregivers, same-sex parents,” among others. Similarly, “husband/wife” and “boyfriend/girlfriend” should be avoided since the phrases could ignore same-sex couples.

To normal people, language is a tool to communicate. Social engineers work to prevent communication in favor of mindless affirmation of moonbattery. The goal is to proscribe so many words that it will be impossible to express and theoretically even to think anything that does not comply with their agenda.

On tips from Wiggins, R F, and Steve T.

LGBTism continues to be a major driver of updates to the Newspeak Dictionary.

The goal is to progressively reduce permissible speech to a small collection of leftist bumper sticker slogans, on the postmodern principle that controlling language controls reality. In furtherance of this objective, even stilted terms used only to express obsequiousness to the Alphabet People are now forbidden:

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) […], which governs the Olympic Games, published its Portrayal Guidelines ahead of the 2024 Paris event to “provide practical checklists and advice to help ensure gender-equal and fair representation of all athletes across all forms of media and communication,” the press release reads. The guide includes a section on “Problematic Language” that included the phrases “biologically male” and “biologically female.”

It is not enough to pretend that someone can be female without being biologically female. Biology is transphobic; therefore, references to it are hate crimes.

The IOC also forbids use of the formerly politically correct term “identifies as.” If a sexually deranged man says he is a woman, he does not identify as a woman. He is a woman. To imply otherwise is to commit a thought crime on the scale of affirming that 2 + 2 = 4.

Meanwhile, the Canadian Cancer Society has deprecated the word “cervix”:

We recognize that many trans men and non-binary people may have mixed feelings about or feel distanced from words like ‘cervix.’ You may prefer other words, such as ‘front hole,’’ reads a webpage dedicated to answering questions about cervical cancer screenings for “trans men [and] non-binary people assigned female at birth.”

“Front hole” will in turn be banned, once our moonbat overlords come up with a still more tasteless term to replace it.

For now, the CCS may still use the word “cervix,” but it apologizes for doing so:

“We recognize the limitations of the words we’ve used while also acknowledging the need for simplicity,” concludes the apology, adding that the organization sometimes uses the term cervix to “normalize the reality that men can have these body parts too.”

A gynecologist might note that it is impossible for a man to have a cervix, and that it is insane that the CCS calls for men posing as women to get screened for cervical cancer. But then, the word “gynecologist” is also getting erased:

Midwives should avoid saying “gynecologist” in order to be more “inclusive,” according to a recent academic paper.

Not because it sounds like “guy,” but because the word comes from the Greek for woman. Instead, say “reproductive health specialist.”

The same scholars also say men can give birth.

Listen to the Experts! Unless they call themselves “gynecologists,” in which case they are thought criminals.

Other problematic words include “breastfeeding” and “breastmilk.”

Instead, midwives should say “human milk feeding,” “human milk provision,” and “milk from the feeding parent.”

Maybe we should cut to the chase and just limit all human speech to “Black lives matter,” “My body my choice,” and “Love is love.”

According to our official state ideology, every aspect of existence pertains to race, and must be evaluated according to the principle that white is bad and black is good. Therefore, agents of the Deep State have been ordered to stop staying “blacklisted” as if it were a bad thing.

US spies, including members of the CIA, have been told the term “blacklisted” is racist…

The guidance has been included in The Dive, a newsletter circulated by the intelligence community’s diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility office.

Such are the CIA’s priorities under Democrat rule, as America’s adversaries plot our downfall.

Also favored by our moonbat overlords are the “neurodivergent” — a key Democrat constituency. Consequently,

The term “sanity check” is discouraged because it is disparaging towards people with mental illness.

As covered previously, The Dive also promotes transvestitism among agents of the CIA/NSA/FBI/ETC.

Now back to the usual obsession with the sacred put-uponedness of the people we are no longer allowed to refer to as Negroes:

“Cakewalk” and “grandfathered” are also no longer regarded as acceptable because of their association with slavery.

I wonder if it’s still permitted to call spies “spooks.”
