A review of 'Sacrificial Lambs: A Liberal Reporter Exposes How the Progressive Left Harms Children in the Name of Gender Ideology' by Anita Bartholomew
This one line gets at so much of the current cultural crisis, if you will: <<And they ignored earlier research that contradicted what they wanted to believe was true.>>
Shouldn't scientific research inform our beliefs? But now, for oh so many, belief takes precedence over science.
I'm a programmer working on a phone messenger application (yeah, another one, just what we need). Registering as a user of this messenger requires selecting a relationship status (single, married, etc.) and, yup, pronouns. I find all these questions off-putting and intrusive but the pronouns offend me. I am gay and in an interracial same-sex marriage, yet the manager of this project calls me a conservative bigot and explodes when I say anything about the pronouns.
For example, they won't work in half the languages we support. Chinese doesn't have pronouns, Hindi has only "it."
But this manager, smart enough to know better, is the fourth I've run into who is totally wrapped around the axle with "gender" shit. I won't even use that word anymore.
