RE: Language is under attack....Is there any sanity remaining in our world? A judge is installed in the US Supreme Court because she meets the requirements of being black and female. She cannot define what a “woman” is. Does this mean she does not know whether she herself is a woman? If she cannot or will not define this simple, biological fact, how can she be expected to decide complex legal cases where much larger, more important issues are at play?.The University of Waterloo issues a job posting saying men need not apply. Woke thinking compels us to believe if a biological male believes he is a woman (a word a learned judge cannot define) then he is indeed a woman. If this individual applies for the job and is qualified in all other respects, should he not get the job? After all, he believes he is a woman. Should he sue for discrimination on the basis of misogyny or sexism?.We have well-known mentorship organizations where a man or woman volunteers to mentor a young boy or girl who may not have a father or mother role model in the home. Should these organizations be disbanded because gender obviously doesn’t matter anymore where a role model is concerned if men can be women and vice versa? Would a man who insists he is really a woman be allowed to mentor a young girl, or conversely, a woman who believes she is a man be allowed to mentor a young boy?.I’m sure to the progressive enlightened these questions are purely pedantic, but how long does this nonsensical thinking need to go on? We have a minority bullying the majority into accepting their sad view of reality. We have an economy sliding into oblivion, home prices are skyrocketing, homelessness, drug overdoses and a madman in Russia threatening to blow everything to kingdom come and we in the progressive west are fixated on this issue? I refuse to play this game of warped reality. Let’s deal with real issues in concrete meaningful ways..Gail SinghCalgary, AB
