Kids Taught Word “Straight” Is Offensive

Posted on by

First, deviants demanded tolerance. Then equality. Now we are up to special favoritism (a.k.a. “LGBT rights”). At this point, it is the normal people who are tolerated — until they aren’t, as in Seattle Public Schools:

Tenth-grade Ethnic Studies World History teacher and self-identified communist Ian Golash asked students to complete a “Social Identity Wheel” worksheet, according to the parent, who asked for anonymity. It asks students to explain their various identities, including racial, ethnic, gender, socio-economic status, physical, emotional, or developmental disabilities, and sexual orientation. The worksheet is intended to tell students that their identities determine whether they receive unearned privilege or oppression.

According to the ideology being inculcated, kids who are “oppressed” are good. Kids who are “privileged” are bad.

[A] parent’s 15-year-old son labeled himself “straight.” Golash took issue with that word “because it implies that to not be straight is to be ‘crooked’ which could have a negative connotation.”

Amend your copy of the Newspeak Dictionary accordingly. Those who don’t want to get canceled eschew terms that would give negative connotations to children engaging in sexual perversion.

Not even moonbats find it easy to keep up with dictionary updates:

Chief Sealth High School has a Gay-Straight Alliance Club. Even GLAAD (formerly the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) uses “straight” as an alternative descriptor for heterosexuals. The term “straight-ally” is still used by LGBT groups.

The boy’s mother reveals that in another incident, Golash told him he is “a product of the patriarchy that teaches young boys not to care.”

The same parent previously complained that Golash failed her son on a quiz for correctly saying men cannot get pregnant and that women do not have penises.

Every institution liberals infiltrate and subvert rots into farce. This process of deterioration has reached such an extreme in public education that students risk failure by refusing to reject indisputable objective facts.

Family Terms Banned From Newspeak Dictionary

Posted on by

A central objective of leftists dating back to Karl Marx has been the destruction of the most basic structure holding together human civilization, the family. Black Lives Matter made this goal explicit, before it was removed for strategic reasons during the George Floyd riots. Progressives have embraced postmodernism, according to which power is wielded through language. So it should come as no surprise that social engineers are erasing familial relationships from the Newspeak Dictionary.

Goodbye “brother” and “sister”:

‘Brother’ and ‘sister’ could be banned from official documents and other public communication and be replaced by the term ‘siblings’, under updated anti-discrimination laws in one Australian state.

“Anti-discrimination” refers to the overhauling of society to remake it according to the specifications of LGBT activists.

[New South Wales] is overhauling its Anti-Discrimination Act of 1977 next year and preliminary submissions are already pouring in for what could be a highly contested battle between differing lobbyists.

That battle is between those who want to delete any word deemed to be an obstacle to LGBTism and those who want to preserve the English language and civilization in general.

Goodbye “husband” and “wife”:

The Methodist Church in Great Britain released an “Inclusive Language Guide” this month advising Methodists to avoid using gendered terms such as “husband” and “wife” because such allegedly assumes what is not “the reality for many people.”

At least moonbats provide some comic relief by using the term “reality” in the context of pretending there is no difference between men and women.

Tellingly, British Methodists also want to erase the word “insane.” To avoid cancelation for thoughtcrime, you are commanded to say “neurodiverse.” Don’t forget to keep a straight face.

Before long, the word “family” itself will be deleted from the Newspeak Dictionary.

Newspeak Dictionary Updates From Airstrip One

Posted on by

Do not subject yourself to cancelation by inadvertently committing thoughtcrime. Stay abreast of the incessant updates to the Newspeak Dictionary. From Airstrip One:

The new Staffordshire Police inclusive language guide discourages using the word “policeman”. “In general,” it urges, “we word our content to avoid masculine and feminine pronouns (“he” or “she”)”. Gender-neutral language is always preferable, even when talking about a police officer who is a man.

The gender-neutral push is in compliance with the LGBT agenda.

Other terms stricken from the Newspeak Dictionary by the Staffordshire Police tellingly include “mentally ill.”

Moonbats demand not merely euphemisms but euphemisms for euphemisms. For example, we are no longer to refer to people as “disadvantaged,” but rather as “under-resourced,” regardless of the unexploited resources going to waste due to their dysfunction. “Migration challenge” has been canceled in favor of “migration as a complex phenomenon.”

According to Cathy Hastie, an HR expert and lecturer at the University of Derby, the documents are an acknowledgement by organisations that striving for diversity among its workforce isn’t enough; more important is the culture within it.

It does no good for employees to represent preferred identity groups unless they comply with the assigned ideology. Marginalizing and eventually eradicating whites are long-term objectives to be achieved through immigration and welfare policy. The immediate goal is to fundamentally transform the culture into something unrecognizable.

English language and linguistics lecturer Laura Bailey of University of Kent confirms:

“By changing our language, we can try to change the culture.”

As George Orwell explained, the main purpose of progressively reducing our vocabulary is to “narrow the range of thought.” But as with all things left-wing, sheer malice plays a roll. Moonbats don’t like the English language:

The Oxfam Inclusive Language Guide, published in March this year … apologis[es] in its introduction for being written in and about the English language, “the language of a colonising nation”. It goes on: “We acknowledge the Anglo-supremacy of the sector as part of its coloniality,” adding: “We recognise that the dominance of English is one of the key issues that must be addressed in order to decolonise our ways of working and shift power.”

In utopia, no one will speak English — or any other language. The descendants of the human race will grunt like hogs as Big Government fills their troughs with free slop.

“Ombudsman” Deleted From Newspeak Dictionary

Posted on by

Utopia continues to elude us. People still use politically problematic words like “ombudsman.” Justin Trudeau, suet-soft personification of metrosexual moonbattery, comes to the rescue:

As part of the Trudeau Liberals’ quest to root out all gendered language from the government’s vocabulary and end sexism, an order in council dated November 3, 2023, cancelled the title of the Procurement Ombudsman.

The new role at the Ministry of Public Works, which will be the same as the old role, will now be filled by the Procurement Ombud.

How wonderful it must be to live in a country where there are no problems, so that those in charge have nothing better to do than impose their irritating vocabulary preferences.

Newspeak Medical Dictionary Updates

Posted on by

Having been absorbed by the Left, the medical profession will be making fewer contributions to our health and longevity. To compensate, it now makes contributions to the Newspeak Dictionary:

Ilana Sherer, a pediatrician in Dublin, California, gave a presentation Sunday at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) National Conference and Exhibition and called for more gender neutral terminology for body parts.

Her proposals, given during a workshop entitled ‘Discussing Gender and Sexuality in the Primary Care Office,’ included referring to the vagina as an ‘innie,’ ‘front hole,’ or ‘T-penis’ and the clitoris as ‘d*ck’ or ‘d*cklet.’

Pronouns as in original. “Ilana” Sherer looks like a guy. Less than wholesome characters have been infiltrating primary education as a result of the current emphasis on recruiting children into LGBTism. Let’s hope this alarming phenomenon does not extend to pediatrics.

She also proposed calling breasts ‘chest’ or ‘chesticles.’ For male anatomy, Dr Sherer recommended pediatricians call the penis ‘outie,’ ‘junk,’ ‘strapless,’ or ‘bits.’

Others suggest less informal LGBT-compliant vocabulary:

Some in the medical community have been calling for gender-neutral body terminology for years, recommending ‘upper body’ for breasts, ‘erectile tissue’ for penis and ‘internal gonads’ for ovaries.

Update your copy of Gray’s Anatomy accordingly.

If only the moonbattery stopped at vocabulary:

[Sherer] is board certified by the AAP, an organization to advance child health and well-being, as well as the profession of pediatrics, and serves on the organization’s Executive Committee for LGBTQ Health and Wellness. …

In August, the AAP voted to stand by its 2018 guidance that supports LGBTQ access to counseling, hormone therapy, puberty blockers and, occasionally, surgery for minors under 18 years old.

The concept “First do no harm” has been discarded in favor of the LGBT agenda where children are concerned.

Dictionary.com Has Newspeak Dictionary Updates

Posted on by

Updates to the Newspeak Dictionary are inflicted not only through educrats in the moonbat fever swamps comprising academia, but on a more direct basis via mainstream institutions like Dictionary.com. LGBT activists celebrate the further corruption on the English language in subservience to their cause:

Dictionary.com has added eight LGBTQ+ terms to its latest official update.

These include:

diverse-owned: (adjective) (of a business) owned by someone who is part of a group historically underrepresented in entrepreneurship, such as women, ethnic or racial minorities, LGBTQ+ people, etc.

gay marry: (verb) to marry a person of the same gender.

polysexual: (adjective) noting or relating to a person who is sexually attracted to people of various genders, but not necessarily to people of all genders.

autoromantic: (adjective). noting or relating to a person who primarily feels romantic attraction to and desire for themselves, as opposed to other people.

At least psychiatrists dealing with the severely mentally ill might have a use for some of these terms.

The war on pronouns continues:

To make Dictionary.com more inclusive, the website’s lexicographers rewrote entries to replace gendered pronouns with gender-neutral pronouns or to avoid using a pronoun at all.

Moonbattery is the offspring of postmodernism, a fundamental tenet of which is that “reality” is constructed through language, and thereby can be controlled by controlling language. Stand by for further linguistic perversion as social engineers reconstruct reality to reflect their ideology.

Transparency Redefined

Posted on by

Like all things leftist, the eradication of our language is implemented progressively. Banning all words and demanding that we communicate by grunting like animals would dramatically reduce thoughtcrime, but could spark resistance if imposed all at once.

Even some harmful words have been spared for now. Instead of deleting them from the Newspeak Dictionary, our rulers repurpose them by changing their meaning to the diametric opposite of what it used to be. “Liberal” is one example. Another is “transparency.”

Matt Taibbi is turning out to be a liberal more in the old sense than the new. He sounds the alarm on the redefinition of “transparency”:

Transparency for decades was understood to mean a pro-democratic concept giving ordinary citizens the power to see how their government operates, how taxes are spent, and whether or not public officials are complying with laws.

In contrast,

When elite politicians and media figures speak of “transparency” now, they mean giving government power to obtain “transparency” into the activities of private citizens.

The personification of ultimate government power is globalist Klaus Schwab.

Transparency in Schwab’s conception has been turned on its head, to mean an unavoidable system of total non-privacy the world must learn to accept.

Growls Schwab:

“Everything is transparent, whether we like it or not. This is unstoppable. If we behave acceptably, and have nothing to hide, it won’t be a problem.”

Transparency now means we can keep no secrets from the government. It was supposed to work the other way around. But now it doesn’t:

The chief way you know the new version of transparency is a fraud is that it’s limited to “qualified” researchers.

That is, researchers working on behalf of the liberal establishment — or you might say, on behalf of Klaus Schwab.
