Let’s examine how much of a joke Merriam Webster has become. Remember when a respectable dictionary wouldn’t dream of using a circular definition?
Well let’s look at these definitions. Female. “Having a gender identity the opposite of male.” 1/
So what is male? Why it’s having a gender identity that is the opposite of female, silly.
So the word male means having a gender identity which is the opposite of female which is the opposite of male which is the opposite of female ….
But wait. There is more. 2/
A gender identity is a person’s internal sense of being male (which is the opposite of female which is the oppose of male which is the opposite of female…), female (which is the opposite of male which is the opposite of female…), or some combination or neither. 3/
Now they haven’t defined what neither male or female is defined as, and I think we can all thank our lucky stars for that. Because we are already on one never ending feedback loop and one is quite enough. 4/
A girl is defined as a person whose gender identity is female. (Which remember means a gender identity that is not male.) 5/
But they did change the definition of woman back to an adult female person so they can pretend that they aren’t pushing the gender nonsense. (Except they snuck it in with the definition of female now.)
6/
Sex and gender are different. Except when they aren’t. Because one means the other but neither means anything?
This is what gender ideology does to you. It makes you look utterly ridiculous.
But wait. There is one more. 7/
Under the definition of s*x they explain it means males and females. They further explain that there is a clear delineation between sex and gender.
Which they seem to have forgotten when they defined the terms male and female. 8/
Imagine making yourself look like THIS bad.
The thing is. I don’t think they know how to think any more. They don’t know why a circular definition is bad. They don’t know they have contradicted themselves. Nor do they know what a female or male is.
9/
This ideology warps the ability to think. They must take such ridiculous stances that they paint themselves into a corner of garbled nonsense. Because none of it makes any sense. When you look closely, these gender ideology words mean nothing. Literally. 10/

“The authors argue that “gendered” pregnancy care is too focused on helping women have healthy babies, and that it might be okay for transmen to continue taking testosterone during pregnancy despite the known health risks to the fetus and effects on its normal development. The desire for “normal fetal outcomes,” according to the authors, is rooted in a problematic desire “to protect their offspring from becoming anything other than ‘normal’” and “reflect historical and ongoing social practices for creating ‘ideal’ and normative bodies.”
I’m sorry. What did I just read? 1/
Let me repeat this part:
The desire for “normal fetal outcomes,” according to the authors, is rooted in a problematic desire “to protect their offspring from becoming anything other than ‘normal’” and “reflect historical and ongoing social practices for creating ‘ideal’ and normative bodies.”
A problematic desire to have a healthy baby?!! 2/
“The authors, a group of transgender sociologists and enthusiasts, and healthcare activists, with not one medical degree among them, argue to dramatically move the goal posts of medical ethics, choosing to completely disregard the health, safety, and well-being of the developing fetus, all in the name of “T” inclusion.” 3/
THREAD. I think what’s shocking people right now is they had no idea folks could be so vicious. Some of us aren’t surprised by this. We have seen this behavior for years from them. Let me show you what has been said to people who simply say that men aren’t women. 1/
This kind of behavior has been building and building and building. Do you think this teacher got fired for his behavior? No. He got put on the cover of a journal.
This is now normal on campuses. 2/
People ignored us bc it was a “fringe” issue and it doesn’t “affect” people and why do we care? Oh sure, you noticed the sports issue for a minute, but you didn’t see how normalized it was becoming for them to speak violently. To BE violent. 3/
