Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine Bans Its Own Name

It isn’t easy for organizations to keep up with political correctness these days. They may even find themselves banning their own names. The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine will now use the term “chestfeeding” rather than “breastfeeding,” because associating breasts with lactation implies that there is something feminine about the activity. That would violate LGBT dogma, which takes precedence over the acknowledgment that women exist.

Via Flag & Cross:

The organization made its woke announcement in a lengthy statement published last month [that] encourages employees to use absurd terms such as “chestfeeding,” “human milk feeding,” and “parent’s milk” to promote what it calls “gender-inclusive language.”

The statement on “infant feeding and lactation-related language and gender,” co-authored by eight doctors and the academy, said that “the use of de-sexed or gender-inclusive language is appropriate in many settings.”

Not this setting. You don’t have to go to medical school to know that only women nurse babies — even if insane men try. These days, you might have to go to medical school not to know it.

Democrats Move to Rename 1,441 Places

It is as if Democrats have learned that they only have a few months to erase American heritage and replace it with a contrived heritage of their own design. The steady stream of politically motivated renaming that turned Mount McKinley into Denali and Phoenix’s Squaw Peak into Piestewa Peak has become a torrent as they throw their pushy, ham-fisted moonbattery into overdrive:

Congressional Democrats introduced a bill Friday to rename more than 1,000 places in the US named with offensive language and racist slurs.

While the economy collapses, Democrats occupy themselves by scouring the country for offensiveness, investigating even the most obscure locations.

The bill was sponsored by ultraradicals, who are steering the ship where the Democratic Party is concerned:

Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Edward Markey, and Rep. Al Green introduced the bill along with 25 cosponsors in the House of Representatives, all Democrats. …

According to the statement from the lawmakers, questionable names have been identified for 1,441 federally recognized places.

Maybe they can start a jobs program by hiring Victim Studies graduates to come up with new names that no liberal will find offensive. It isn’t easily done these days. They can’t name every mountain and river after George Floyd.

Brandeis University Issues Newspeak Dictionary Update

Just because a term was acceptable an hour ago does not mean that using it now would not result in immediate cancelation on grounds of intolerance and insensitivity. If you don’t want to become marginalized on behalf of the “marginalized,” you can’t wait for the Inner Party to issue an official new edition of the Newspeak Dictionary. Updates come from all corners of the liberal establishment, and they must be incorporated immediately. Here’s a major one from Brandeis University:

“Policeman,” “congressman” and even the gender-neutral descriptor “freshman” have been deemed “oppressive” at Massachusetts’ Brandeis University, a small, elite private school in Waltham, because they are “gender exclusive.”

As academia descends into a maelstrom of moonbattery, even referring to the act of walking becomes thoughtcrime. The term “walk-in” is forbidden as part of the war on ableism, as are the expressions “crazy” and “lame.”

Brandeis’ Prevention, Advocacy, and Resource Center lays down the law in its “Oppressive Language List”:

PARC recognizes that language is a powerful tool that can be used to perpetrate and perpetuate oppression. As a community, we can strive to remove language that may hurt those who have experienced violence from our everyday use. These recommendations for more-neutral language are brought forth by students who have been subject to violence or who have worked with others who are healing from violence…

By “oppression” and “violence,” they mean anything a pampered crybully chooses to find offensive.

Terms denounced as un-PC include the pronouns “he” and “she,” because transsexuals don’t like them.

Remember when we were forbidden to say “Negro” for no particular reason, and race hustler Jesse Jackson demanded we say “African-American” instead? Now we are not allowed to say that either. We must say “Black” and yes, it must be capitalized.

“People of color” is no longer acceptable. Instead, must say “BIPOC,” defined as “Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.” Blacks need to be singled out for special reverence because they “are disproportionately impacted by violence in the US.” PARC doesn’t mention that the violence is inflicted by other blacks or that it is so prevalent because their fellow moonbats have hamstrung the police.

Terms like “Long time no see” and “No can do” are nixed because they allegedly oppress “indigenous people and Asians.” The word “picnic” oppresses sacred blacks I mean Blacks.

You can’t even say “trigger warning” because the word “trigger” might trigger hoplophobic liberals by reminding them of guns.

With each passing day, progressives move closer to abolishing all language other than grunts of assent or self-abasement.

Memorize the whole list if you don’t want to sabotage your next job interview by inadvertently sinning against moonbattery, which is the official religion not only of academia but also of the human resources profession.

Boys and Girls Struck From Newspeak Dictionary

From Airstrip One:

The LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall has told teachers in Britain to ditch the terms boys and girls and refer to pupils with the gender-neutral “learners”.

Fortunately, only weaklings and lunatics would allow policies to be dictated by the autocratic whims of LGBTetc maniacs. Unfortunately, Britain is governed by weaklings and lunatics.

Stonewall also forbids calling students by the proper pronouns. Teachers are expected to use the plural “they/them” for individuals. Furthermore, students must not be divided by gender, since moonbats are waging a bizarre and incomprehensible war on the concept. So much for girls and boys competing within their own gender in sports.

Needless to say, “trans” students must be given free access to the private facilities of members of the opposite sex.

One of the guides produced by the leftist charity stated that the Government Equalities Office funded its work in primary schools.

This nefarious organization — devoted to deranging civilization at a fundamental level in order to promote sexual perversion — gorges itself on taxpayer money:

A report from the TaxPayers’ Alliance this month found that between 2015 and 2019, the government gave Stonewall at least £2,616,102 in funding.

On top of that, schools that are members of the Stonewall School & College Champion programme pay the charity a yearly fee of £150 plus VAT for schools with fewer than 100 pupils. The fee rises to £800 plus VAT for schools with over 2,000 pupils.

The British government gives money to these maleficent militants, it may as well take orders from them. Expect all demands to be complied with, if not immediately then soon. Stonewall (presumably named after the riots) crows that its demands are “in line with the Department for Education’s guidance for schools in England, and the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s Equality Act Code of Practice.”

Biden Regime: Turn In Family for Radicalism

Now that our rulers have designated white people the greatest threat to society, the question is how to keep them in their place. The Biden Regime calls for using the tried and true methods of the East German secret police, the Stasi.

His subjects are encouraged to rat out white supremacists. These can be defined as dissidents who fail to support his party, the ideological basis of which is critical race theory — i.e., hatred of whites.

Via Breitbart:

Biden’s administration announced their plans to create ways for Americans to report radicalized friends and family to the government, in an effort to fight domestic terrorism.

“Domestic terrorism” no longer means what it did after 9/11. Now it refers to a handful of yahoos trespassing at the Capitol — and to those who might agree with their views.

Droned a bureaucrat:

“This involves creating contexts in which those who are family members or friends or co-workers know that there are pathways and avenues to raise concerns and seek help for those who they have perceived to be radicalizing and potentially radicalizing towards violence.”

You have to nip “terrorism” in the bud by isolating those with unapproved opinions.

Biden has explicitly stated that “white supremacy” is the “most lethal threat to the homeland today.” He did not explain what “white supremacy” is, nor has anyone. The term must be left elastic so as to include anyone who needs to be marginalized, demonized, and eventually incarcerated.

“We are investing many agencies of the government and resourcing them appropriately and asking our citizens to participate,” the official said. “Because, ultimately, this is really about homeland security being a responsibility of each citizen of our country to help us achieve.”

Whether monetary incentives will be involved is unclear, but it would certainly help to convince authorities that you are not a white supremacist if you rat out friends, coworkers, and relatives for having “radical” views, such as those contrary to the Democratic Party platform.

History buffs with a chilling sense of déjà vu may be thinking of the 189,000 informants said to have been recruited by East Germany’s Stasi.

An update has been issued to the Newspeak Dictionary. According to Columbia University, whites are no longer to be called Caucasians, on the grounds that whites allegedly draw comfort from the term. Allowing whites to draw comfort is white supremacist, so if you catch anyone using the word “Caucasian,” be sure to inform authorities.

It’s Official: Mothers Canceled in Favor of “Birthing People”

Update your copy of the Newspeak Dictionary, lest you find yourself canceled for a language infraction. Since women do not exist in any meaningful sense according to transgender ideology, the word “mother” has been deleted. Henceforth, we must say “birthing people.” Biden’s handlers have spoken:

The text of Biden’s record-breaking $6 trillion budget, unveiled last month, includes a section highlighting more than $200 million in health care spending aimed at reducing the “high rate of maternal mortality and race-based disparities in outcomes among birthing people.”

As usual, the toxic insanity imposed through the federal government appears to have originated in academia. Social engineers at Harvard have been saying “birthing people” instead of “mothers” since at least last year. From there it seeped into Congress, with Rep Cori Bush (D-BLM) drawing guffaws by referring to the alleged racist oppression of “Black birthing people” just before Mother’s Day. The genocidal maniacs at NARAL confirmed that “birthing people” is correct because it is gender neutral and “it’s not just cis-gender women that can get pregnant and give birth.”

Now we have it from the White House that “birthing people” is official Newspeak.

Searching for and throwing money at “race-based disparities” among “birthing people” is a prime example of how race-obsessed Democrats are wasting the wealth we create as they spend the country into oblivion.

Looting Is Now “Material Liberation”

As leftists consolidate power, the Newspeak Dictionary updates will come fast and furious. They have to eradicate the old ways of thinking, so that everyone will think like our moonbat overlords. The postmodern roots of our rulers’ critical theory ideology result in an emphasis on changing thought through language. Because of the importance of looting to the Democrat version of the Sturmabteilung (i.e., peaceful protesters), the word “theft” is henceforth stricken from the dictionary. It has been replaced with the term “material liberation.”

Hat tip: Not the Bee.

Nadler: Packing Is Unpacking

Great news. Democrats are not planning to effectively abolish the Judicial Branch, thereby rendering the Constitution null and void, by packing the Supreme Court with rubber stamp apparatchiks after all. What they are doing is unpacking it. We have this straight from Jerrold Nadler, Chairmoonbat of the House Judiciary Committee, who introduced the bill:

Nadler further revealed that he is not urinating on your leg; it’s raining, that’s all.

Update your Newspeak Dictionary. Instead of “packing,” party members must now say “unpacking” to convey the same meaning.

There could be no more explicit example of the Democrat habit of not merely lying, but telling the diametric opposite of the truth.

It appears doubtful for now that Democrats will push this further and risk civil war. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the proposal “should be considered,” but has “no plans” to bring it up for a vote.

The maniacs comprising the Democrat vanguard would abrogate the Constitution in a minute, but party leaders just want to demonstrate that they will stop at nothing to get their way.

The idea is to bully the Supreme Court into compliance. This worked for FDR, who pushed through unconstitutional aspects of the New Deal after threatening to pack the court. There is no need to risk a revolution by abolishing the court if you can prevent it from defending the Constitution by other means.
