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/

Let me introduce you to the Terven side of X. They call us terfs as an insult. We are not phased. We are people who fight gender ideology. We risk a lot. But we continue. (This was a shelter that was attacked for daring to be women only.)
1/
We share information about the latest attempts to protect children from the awful medicalization and destruction of their bodies. 2/
We share information about the harm being done to women and girls as their sports are being decimated while everyone watches in silence. Or worse. Blames the girls for participating. (Don’t blame the girls please.). 3/
So you know that dictionary company that is blocking anyone who says a woman is an adult female human?
Welllll…..this is how they now define female.
“Having a gender identify that is the opposite of male.”
Can they get any more ridiculous?
1/
They have walked themselves into the most ridiculous corner. A female cat has a gender identity now? A female fish thinks about its stereotype identity? A female human is nothing more than a social construct?
2/
The more they try to own us all the more they look like petulant children with an unworkable language.
Every accusation is an admission. Remember that. 3/
Democrats have no idea how big the issue of men in women’s sports is. They don’t know that Title IX has been rewritten. They don’t know all the lawsuits trying to stop it. 1/
They don’t know about the Wi Spa where we all found out that there are laws that prevent businesses from offering a private changing room to women. 2/
They don’t know that in some states you can’t have a women’s shelter. They must remain open to any man who wants to enter. They don’t know about the homeless women who were told to shower with a man. 3/
Dictionary wars have just ramped up. Merriam Webster is throwing a fit that women came over to tell them that the word woman means adult female human.
Now they put out this smarmy message.
Democrats really don’t know how poorly this is all playing. 1/
For those not caught up yet. This is where it started. They asked this question.
Hundreds of women and men came over to say something to this effect.
It just shows how much it means to people to have a word that means the adult female human. We should have a word for that, right? It’s a big category. 2/
John Deere started to get enormous backlash for being woke. It began to cost them a bunch of money. So they put out this statement which contains the following.
1. They will no longer support or participate in social awareness parades. …..
2. They will audit all company training materials to ensure the absence of socially motivated messages. …..
3. They will reaffirm within the business that the existence of diversity quotas and pronoun identification have never been and are NOT company policy. ….
People have complained that a thread containing terrible headlines was simply a consequence of the news media not knowing what happened.
So here are some more terrible headlines after they did know what happened.
This one is rather spectacular.
1/.
This paper didn’t want to displace the main story. So they added a little story at the top.
They mention a series of pops that “sounded like” gunfire. Now you can say they didn’t know for sure but they do say that a rally attendee was kiIIed. From the sounds?
