Say No to Pronouns
And yes to reality. ...
Activists claim that playing the pronoun game is just a way to be polite and inclusive. I disagree. I believe that this ostensibly benign practice is really about forcing people to conform to a regressive set of ideas — gender ideology — that’s upending age-old verities and harming society by sexualizing children and dramatically curtailing freedom of speech and thought. To understand why, one must be familiarized with gender ideology’s dogma. ...
When asked for your pronouns, decline.6 Nobody has pronouns. The concept is inherently illogical. You can’t “have” a pronoun any more than you can have any other word. Pronouns aren’t things to be owned. They’re not accessories. They’re parts of speech, and you don’t get to coopt language to serve your pet ideologies. ...
To bend the knee is to legitimize this regressive set of beliefs that forces a subjective and manipulable view of one person’s self to become a defining reality for everyone else. Far from an innocuous act signaling support for inclusion, playing the pronoun game serves as an implicit endorsement of gender ideology and all of its radical tenets.
These ideologues need to be reminded that there are no “personal truths.” There is only reality, and it exists independent of our wishes to the contrary.
This woman is saying what everyone is thinking:

Recently, a heart-wrenching story went viral which inadvertently revealed a great deal about the patient “advocacy” industry.
Briefly, this video focuses on Fran, a 90 year-old woman who had spent 60 years of her life continually volunteering for the national Multiple Sclerosis Society and multiple MS supports groups because her (now deceased husband) had MS and had received numerous accolades over the years for her exemplary service. Recently this 90-year-old noticed people were starting to put pronouns after their names, didn’t understand why this was being done and then asked someone to explain it to her (but was confused by the explanation(. A few days later she was notified that she needed to leave the organization because she was “not inclusive” and therefore she was violating the Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) standards of the organization.
After I heard about this, my immediate thought was “wow, that’s really mean.”
This story has gone viral, and individuals who learned of it are typically stating one or more of the following:
•The National MS Society is a reprehensible organization.
•The National MS Society’s priorities have become political rather than to help individuals with MS.
Since then, the organization chose to internally double-down on that decision and then publicly reaffirmed that decision, their president has stepped down, and its page listing the non-profit’s board of directors was also recently taken down. As best as I can tell, a large boycott is forming against the organization and this decision will ultimately cost them a lot of money.
