    You said it. I needed to do more than amen this.

      No question you are superior to a monkey. Other humans not so much.

        You just don't get it, do you.

        This is not adding another word to the English language. It's threatening prosecution and jail and fines if you refer to someone who says they are not the gender they were born as by that gender. AND calling it a "hate crime", to boot!


        I hope they never tell me I can't call you stupid, because you surely are.

          From what I understand it is applicable to everything. Stupid Trudeau and his stupid Liberals. I can't stand the idiot.

            English already has gender neutral pronouns in the form of "it" and "they." People can just use those. There's no need to make up a goofy-sounding new one.

              I agree. I use "they" regularly to refer to a singular person of unknown or unspecified gender.

                      This is your opportunity!!! You can now say that everyone has to refer to you as "Your Majesty, the Queen" as your official title. Anyone who does not, you can sue or arrest for a hate crime.

                            no dumbass. The way Lewis Carroll made points about language and mocked how it is used in the book using nonsense words. Oh wait, I guess you probably never read a book, did you?
