Linguist here. There are 120 pronouns in the English language. There are multiple competing theories about what fits into the category of pronoun, and how pronouns fits into overall syntax. But the point remains. There are not five sacred pronouns bound by blood and biology.

A white man who talks about god is more likely to be dangerous than a dog.
âOh come on, he loves her, obviously!â Yeah, you just better hope she doesnât accidentally poke him in the eye while she rolls over or otherwise startles the dog. Always great to a have a dog that will rip your kidâs face off if you inconvenience it

You are the chaos we inherited.
I know people are frustrated about the pace of change. I am too. Getting our country back on track will take time, but despite the chaos we inherited, we're making progress. Wages are rising faster than prices. Waiting lists are down. Inflation and interest rates are falling.

After an inconvenient outbreak of sovereignty in #Venezuela , the U.S. has launched a stabilisation excursion, placing local strongman #NicolasMaduro in protective custody to guard him from the perils of due process while responsible parties work to restore investor confidence.

U.S. Officials have stated that Venezuelan President NicolĂĄs Maduro will face trial in New York- demonstrating the U.S. justice systemâs capacity to prosecute presidents, provided they are foreign. #Venezuela #madurocaptured

This photo of chlamydia is one of the prettiest infections we have ever had! Why are you arguing over the attractiveness of a civil servant. Get a grip.
This photo of @PressSec Karoline Leavitt is stunning! She is arguably one of the prettiest Press secretaries weâve ever had!

Yes 2 + 2 often equals 4 , but the ânot alwaysâ bit is a beautiful parallel for the existence they are trying to deny gender non conforming, trans, nonbinary folk. Math is a complex system of assumptions built on millennia of beliefs and theory. It ainât basic.

Bigots showing their bare understanding of introductory subject matter is my favorite sub genre of mindless moralizing. 2 + 2 =4 sometimes but not always. âItâs just basic math/biology/grammarâ only says how little you know about the subject.
I donât believe that women are exclusively female, because itâs not a belief - itâs a fact. We donât go around saying that we believe that 2 + 2 = 4; we know it does; itâs not up for debate. The fact that women are adult human females isnât up for debate either. Anyone who

Gosh did VP Harris just visit an abortion clinic? It must be time for the white trash to lie to stir up outrage! Those two werenât journalists. They were criminals who infiltrated medical facilities and illegally recorded confidential conversations. And then doctored them.

Say his name: Jack Posobiec Conspiracy theorist and ultra conservative pearl clutcher who does nothing but stir white supremacist outrage

I totally agree. I need to see a million more asides â preferably about Robby â between them in #ThePitt Season 2.

Why is national outrage a desirable commodity? Murder is bad. But why should there be federal level outrage because one happened? Pearl clutching in aid of conservative christo fascism.
RIP Emily Carlson (25). KiIIed in cold blood by Willi Holmes (54), a repeat offender. Zero national outrage.

All these people pearl clutching at this ruling havenât read it and think the government shouldnât have to know who its citizens are. Putting hurdles in the way of accessing civil rights would be destroying their integrity. Voter ID requirements are voter suppression. L

You are missing an awareness of documentary burden. Why should citizens have to jump through hoops to prove their right to their civil rights? Who will be unable to because of these requirements? The government should know who its citizens are.
I'm trying to understand something: The Constitution says that you have to be a "citizen of the United States" to vote . It says this in the 14th, 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments What is the argument that you shouldn't have to prove that when you vote? What am I missing?

Honey child, Thatâs an ad. It says âimagine if these were the headlinesâ Thatâs not medical information. Also, gender affirming care is lots of things for loads of people. Doctors should and are widely on board with it. I bet you have had some.
It was outlawed @LushLtd on children - this is wildly inappropriate, unlawful and false!! This needs to be ban immediately and taken off their website - medical misinformation has no place on a retail website for bath bombs .. shit ones at that!
