Two plus two equals five, Winston. Why? Because the state says so. If you don’t agree, you’re a bigot, a hatemonger, an enemy of all that is good.
This enforcement of fiction and falsehood began with the falsehood that Islam is a religion of peace. Those who dared to say otherwise were demonized, stigmatized, marginalized. And now the same technique is being used on a much wider basis.
“Maternity madness! Midwives are urged to avoid using proper words for anatomy so trans patients won’t be upset,” by Sanchez Manning, Daily Mail, April 18, 2022:
Midwives have been discouraged from saying ‘vagina’ when dealing with pregnant transgender patients if they dislike the terminology.
The guidance has been introduced by health chiefs in Sussex as part of their policy on perinatal care – previously known as maternity services – for transgender and non-binary people.
Last month it emerged that the same trust had begun a policy in which staff were told the phrase breast milk could be replaced with ‘human milk’, ‘breast/chest milk’ or ‘milk from the feeding mother or parent’.
In the care guide from Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust, midwives and obstetricians are told: ‘Some individuals may have preferred terminology for their anatomy.
These should be used wherever possible. For example, some people may talk about ‘front hole’ or ‘genital opening’ rather than ‘vagina’.’
Staff are encouraged to record these requested terms on a document called ‘My Language Preferences’.
It has a list of anatomical parts such as cervix, uterus and breasts alongside a column where the preferred words can be written.
The guidelines add that maternity care has typically been designed as a ‘women-only service’ which may not serve the needs of ‘trans’ and ‘non-binary’ individuals who identify as neither male or female.
Pregnant transgender patients should be treated according to their ‘self-identified gender’ rather than their birth sex, it says. They should be offered ‘pronoun stickers’ to wear advising staff how to address them….

Men do not and can not give birth. Anyone who thinks they can belongs in a mental hospital and needs more than a mid-wife.
abu taleb says
Who needs more to be send to a mental hospitals? The transgender people or the “normal” people who demand normal people to give special treatment the transgenders?
I think the second group (like the health chiefs in Sussex in the article) needs more to be sent to a mental hospital.
mortimer says
It is unethical for a doctor to operate on or REMOVE a HEALTHY organ.
To change someone’s sex surgically is medical malpractice.

It is all just so so funny. Calling a “chair” a “table” doesn’t make it a table. Neither does calling these people “idiots” make them idiots unless, of course, they really were “idiots” to begin with. They’re idiots.
I’m not sure who are the bigger idiots — those who demand these name changes or those who go along with it. My vote is for the latter.
Rarely says
BTW.
Who thinks this stuff up? What a tremendous (bizarre?) imagination. Have they nothing better to do?
CogitoErgoSum says
For some the whole world revolves around them. So there is nothing better for them to do than concern themselves with themselves and how the world perceives them. I think it’s called narcissism – and I believe it is also a type of mental illness.

There is no such thing as a Normal person being homophobic because they do not want to deal with the individual deviants choice to display their individual deviance in a manner that intrudes on the public : annoys the public. In such cases, use the term homophobia – ic to being a felony Hate Crime Term.
There is no such creature as a person who is Napoleon; therefore, there are no Normal people who are napoleon phobic… in the same manner, for the same reasons, there is no such thing as homophobia…being a Normal person, normally annoyed by deviant behavior, is not phobic.
Normal people do not fear not being accepted by deviants… as well, Normal people know that every deviant has a clear and present public duty to ‘ONLY’ wear their napoleon uniforms in a manner, a time, a place that does not intrude on or annoy : offend Normal people doing Normal things in the Normal places of Normal activities.
Normal people have no fear of failing to validate deviant behavior because Normal people know that all deviant behavior, all electively expressed behavior, is the sole burden of the acting person.
You being responsible for your activities creates no need to validate deviant behavior [your own or anyone else’s] which is distinct from the deviants who present their all consuming fear of being dismissed by Normal people.
Which includes Napoleonic reenactments. In such enactment cases 1 person is `designated to wear the – the napoleon suit : play the part of napoleon, while everyone else [including every other deviant : napoleon] must refrain from suiting up and annoying, by spectacle or other interference with, the rest of the enactors, the general re-enactment, and/or normal or deviant spectating.
A deviant insisting on wearing her napoleon suit in a wheat field being harvested does not make her a weed… she is just another deviant choosing to annoyingly : aggressively show up, without invitation, in the wrong field – at the wrong time …as usual.

I swear, for a moment I thought that I was reading the Babylon Bee. It was so unreal and I still have a have hard time accepting that this actually came from a news site.
Would someone please drop a rope. I think I am in a hole with people rejoicing and singing that they are so happy on this, the first day of the new year – 1984.
Infidel says
Babylon Bee should re-define its mission statement as a news source, and continue doing what it does. And why not – they still get factchecked by the likes of Snopes and others, despite it being well known that they are a satire site

I for one am utterly sick of all the trans nonsense. Only .3% of 1% of human beings think they should be the other gender (interestingly only some 3.5% of people are homosexual, lesbian or bisexual and thus over 96% are completely heterosexual). I sympathize with these trans people but they have a disorder not a lifestyle. They deserve compassion but considering them to be as normal as the vast bulk of mankind is a cruel and silly pretend game. It’s the emperor with his new clothes on.
After all, nature effs up all the time—babies born with massive birth defects, cancer, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc. What this is really all about is destroying traditional concepts of gender and which is part of a much larger phenomenon known as critical theory (critical race theory being just another example of overall critical theory) as developed by the Neo-Marxist Frankfurt School because both Marxism and Neo-Marxism wish to destroy everything about traditional society in order to build from the ground up a utopian society, which, if Marxists and their ilk get their way will effectively destroy civilization itself.
Yes, the big picture must be seen here. Gotta’ see the whole forest and not just some individual trees.

Good analysis, Wellington.

Those of us with an ethical, moral, working brain have been saying, “males cannot give birth.” This being one of the ways of telling if the person truly is a female.
Now, with this insanity, the *female* who pretends to be male, gets pregnant and gives birth, will be able to say that her doctor called her a “he” and so a “male can get pregnant and give birth.” Because *doctors* and biologists and others in the field of the human anatomy are the *experts* and if they say “he” then he it is. Unless the doctor is there at the birth of a child and declares that the baby is a “boy” or is a “girl”…then he is just making a “guess’ in the case of those who decide later on in life…or their idiot parents decide before then…that the doctor made a mistake.
There is no such creature as a “non-binary” human. None anywhere. Yet, this scheme is making it into the mainstream of life everywhere due to the people who know better, giving in and doing as they are commanded to do. So, now a “non-binary” can get pregnant and give birth. and that means that the “partner” of this ****female***** can claim that a female, or non-binary or fluid gender caused the pregnancy according to their ‘chosen” gender.
Why should a small minority of people be treated with such special consideration that they can be kowtowed to in such a manner? Treated with such acquiescence that reality is suspended and their mental condition becomes more important that Truth?
The devil is in the details. Literally. satan wants the entire world so messed up that no one notices how messed up things are.
They are destroying life as we know it was meant to be by *language*.

UK: Midwives told to avoid using ordinary anatomical terms to avoid offending trans patients
…………….
Just insanity. Only women are able to conceive and give birth. Pretending this is not so is a rejection of reality.
Tom says
Control the language and you control the narrative. Control the narrative and you control the population.
We have allowed this to happen. We were afraid to upset fringe minorities and now we are paying the price.
We have to be the ones to stand up and tell everyone else that the king has no clothes.

More news out of Florida…and good it is. (not entirely off topic)

“Florida Senate votes to strip Disney of special self-government status”
Because the company was ignoring the law regarding telling little kids all that garbage about trans, and other sex stuff and due to the way Disney set things up more than 50 years ago, they governed themselves..\ with permission from the State.

Yeah, their stock was down a little below 5% this afternoon

I used to love Sunday Nights when Walt Disney’s Wonderful World would come on with an adventure about Daniel Boone, or a comic about Pluto and Mickey or something from fantasy Land.
I have enjoyed my visits to Disney World, but I don’t think I could stomach it now, even if I didn’t mind the hike in prices.
the present day upper crust at Disney making decisions have ruined it for the kids and their innocent and oftentimes, sweet imaginations. It’s evil.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
I agree, Disney had a pretty good run until fairly recently.
But I’ll now avoid what they have to sell, unfortunate because I don’t believe that this is the kind of “Disney experience” that Walt had envisioned.
There are some great non-Disney attractions in Orlando area – and are better priced. Planning on seeing SeaWorld early next year.
somehistory says
James,
You might enjoy
Busch Gardens Tampa, Sunken Gardens, St. Pete, Jungle Gardens in Sarasota, the beaches in Clearwater, Daytona, Ormond, ..and the parks…where you can see all kinds of wild birds and get up close and personal with alligators…like the Everglades…but there are others less well-known that are worth seeing.
Florida has a lot of stuff to see and things to do.
I hope your enjoy your trip.

No, fool, the “root cause” is the wish to protect little children….who don’t belong to the homosexuals of either gender from the brainwashing and indoctrination that perverts want to visit upon the kids who have the right to get their sex education from their parents.
No one outside of the parents has a right to teach their kids about sex, and certainly not those who are insisting on twisting Truth to suit their own evil ends. Not even those at disney world.

I’m sorry to see this “woke” crap from Disney as well. I don’t think Walt would approve…

Many years ago, there was a joke in Reader’s Digest, I believe it was that mag.
a man was a hypochondriac, continually at the his doctor’s office complaining of some new disease he had read about. After many times, the doctor was frustrated when his patient demanded that he do something. so, the doctor admitted him to the hospital, telling him that he was gong to run every test possible to ‘find out what was wrong.’
The following morning, after the man had gone through the whole battery of tests, he was sleeping soundly. the doctor came in on his rounds and decided to play a joke on the healthy goy before telling him all tests were good.
The doctor got a newborn from the nursery and put it in bed with the sleeping man. The baby began to cry. the man woke and said, “Hush baby. Mommy’s very tired and needs to sleep”

Shouldn’t we also get rid of the term ‘midwife’? What’s that – a woman who’s half married? Why not midhusband or midspouse?
And of course, men can get pregnant – didn’t you see the new emoji list? If you are reading this page on a Mac or an iPhone, this is what it looks like
? ?
Note at the bottom of that page on the emoji list:

Also, what are the masculine, feminine, neuter and other forms of the word ‘you’ or ‘I’?

Why dont we cancel these nuts who cancel people, thats if we can identify them, find them, expose them. If someone is cancelled by some organisation, business, whatever, cancel it too, by not dealing, going to them etc.
Infidel says
Problem is that most of the corporate West has already embraced this hooey, so we have to first create a strong parallel economy before we can cancel them. Essentially, we need a Mike Lindell in every market segment, not just for pillows, slippers, bedding

“Essentially, we need a Mike Lindell in every market segment, not just for pillows, slippers, bedding”
Yes, and I have the highest respect for Mike Lindell.

So now we hear the crazy people demand that the non crazy people agree with the crazy people so that the non crazy people are not called… crazy… therefore the crazy people are running the show while pretending they are not the crazy ones… and the non crazy people are agreeing with them….

“For example, some people may talk about ‘front hole’ or ‘genital opening’ rather than ‘vagina’.”

Those who wish to either change sex, or purely identify as another gender are mentally ill freaks. no amount of surgery, hormones, the wearing of wigs, female clothes etc…. is going to change the truth that ONLY BIOLOGICAL born females have the reproductive organs to become pregnant, give birth and also breast feed.
One other point, they cannot change the Skeleton they were born with, and we all know the male and female skeleton’s are vastly different from one another.
It’s time the virtue signalling, woke, corrupt and failing NHS understood that the world does not revolve around these freaks now invading planet earth.
I have no sympathy whatsoever for these trans people, they have brought any grief they may suffer from upon themselves 100%.

Offending someone with common pro-nouns is ridiculous. I’am offended by the man-bun so can we do away with it.

An idiot “judge” has decided that a male in fed prison in IL is entitled to “gender-affirming” surgery before being discharged in Dec.
The “judge” says that the Constitution guarantees such stuff and there are hundreds more waiting in line to have taxpaying citizens pay for surgery that will not make them what they can never be. If only there was a surgery that could make them intelligent and give them some common sense and morals.
