You'll have to provide me with a better example.  One in which the common meaning was changed for no other reason but to appease a miniscule portion of the population.

How about changing the meaning of Critical Race Theory from an economic theory taught in graduate school to  indoctrinating grade school kids to hate their race.

But you quoted mine. And, yes, you do know what the tiki brigade is … disingenuousness will only take you so far. Charlottesville wasn’t that long ago.

Democrat tiki torch brigade.  Reliving the Democrat glory days of black suppression and lynchings.

I personally do not state my pronouns, but I have no issue with those who do. And I will use those pronouns. Doesn’t harm me or the country and shows respect to others wishes, which again, causes me no harm. 

Nope, sorry, not buyin it.  There are a lot of things I'd like people to do that wouldn't cause any harm.  But, the world doesn't conform to my wishes, and nor do I expect it to.

Keep in mind that one seldom even hears what pronouns are used for him or herself. If one feels the need to introduce him or herself with a preferred pronoun included or includes it on a email signature,, that person is often seeking attention, imo.  Even more so if the preferred pronoun is they or them.

That's fine, aside from the fact that these aren't Democrats, they're members of the Lincoln Project.

Attention is the point. You don’t need to approve of us or understand our lived experience, but you don’t get to pretend we don’t exist. Mis-naming another person is profoundly disrespectful.

Why does respect for differences scare you so much?

They are protesting a Republican running for governor.  I don't care who they say they are affiliated with those are Democrats.

We are not required to suspend reality and science to cater to other people’s delusions.  Should they be treated with dignity and humanity?  Of course.

For someone who can’t define “true conservative” you’re awful quick to label other peoples’ politics.

How do you propose to do so, if you are basing what you call them based on your beliefs, and not their request?
