Democrats propose ban on all gender specific words

Republicans have condemned a Democrat plan to eliminate gender-specific pronouns such as "he" and "she" from the rules of the US House of Representatives.

Nancy Pelosi, the Democrat Speaker of the House, announced the proposal as a "bold and future-focused" move, and said it would make the lower chamber of Congress the "most inclusive in history" for transgender and nonbinary people.

The move would do away with any gender-specific references, such as "man", "woman", "husband" or "wife" in the 45-page text of the rules that will govern the House during the 117th Congress, which convenes on Sunday.

Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader in the House, wrote on Twitter: "This is stupid. Signed - A father, son, and brother".

Kelly Loeffler, the Republican senator standing for re-election in Georgia on Tuesday, added: "The far-left’s priorities, everyone. If you’d like to still be able to call yourself a father, daughter, mother or son, vote for me on Tuesday. Sincerely, A Proud Daughter."

Democrats said the aim was to "ensure we are inclusive of all members and their families - including those who are nonbinary."

References to "father" and "mother" would be replaced by "parent", while "son' and "daughter" would become "child".

Mentions of "brother" and "sister" would become "sibling". Aunts and uncles would be changed to "parent's sibling".

Other changes would include altering "submit his or her resignation" to "resigns", "chairman" becoming "chair", and "seaman" being changed to "seafarer".

The proposal was put forward by the Democrat-led House rules committee, which is sometimes known as the "traffic cop of the House", and backed by Ms Pelosi.

The committee said its intention was to "honour all gender identities by changing pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender-neutral."

Ms Pelosi said it was a "visionary rules package which reflects the views and values of the full range of our historically diverse House Democratic majority."

She added: "These proposals reflect our priorities as a caucus and as a country."

The rules package also includes establishing a House Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

It will be voted on in the first few days of the new Congress. Democrats will hold a slim majority of about 10 in the 435-member House.

The proposal also included other measures such as banning members of the House and their staff from spreading "manipulated media" like "deepfakes".

Ms Pelosi is facing the challenge of getting enough of her party to turn up in person during the pandemic to ensure she is re-elected as Speaker at the start of the new session.

In the new Congress she will lead a group of House Democrats that includes an increasingly vocal left wing.

Elise Stefanik, a Republican congresswoman from New York, told the New York Post: "Instead of reviving the economy, restoring our Constitutional freedoms and delivering results for the American people, Speaker Pelosi has chosen her debut legislation - which would ban words like mother, sister and daughter."

Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican congresswoman, added: "Here’s a gender neutral word to describe this legislation: ridiculous."

Another recently elected Republican congresswoman wrote on Twitter: "Blatant denial of truth and attack on families!"

If you voted for Democrats this is on you. Nice job tearing our culture down, useful idiots. Trump did nothing close to this bullshit. And he’s the authoritarian, extremist. 

[drobeski 3,061]

Hey frozen, your side is full of mental case freaks. Good job, congrats.  

[Bill E. 666]

I hope every time Pelosi gets up to speak and says he or she or calls Trump "that man", Republican congressmen stand up and yell I object to your hateful use of that foul term.  Throw it back in her face.

Feel bad for the average person who thinks he is a democratic. He doesn't believe in this crap and knows that his party has no real ideas. Yet he clings to a past that no longer exists where the Dems were the champions of the hard working Americans.

And they can’t believe people actually left that party. I’m starting to think I was a pioneer, not an outlier. More to come once OMB is gone and they don’t have him to blame.

I heard a Jerry Springer interview on Megyn Kelly’s podcast recently; he has an interesting past and perspective on his show, but relevant to the above:  he started talking about politics and why he is a democrat, and I was thinking “1970 called to tell you that democrats are no longer the party of blue collar workers, or the encouragers of diverse thoughts.”  

He reminded me of my mom, who voted democrat because she always voted democrat and people from union areas always vote democrat.

You guys have literally no evidence of this. So says your own justice department, Supreme Court, and basically every state that matters to electoral politics.

You think if you just say it enough it’ll become true. Or sorta true. But people are tired of that sh1t

You are right about one thing though—these kinds of stupid stunts by the Dems will only help republicans. What a bizarre gift to hand them right before the GA Senate races

I don't think you know what the word "literally" means.

There's plenty of evidence. Sworn affidavits are evidence. Videos of suspicious activity is evidence. 

Just because it wasn't allowed to be presented in court doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I understand that but that would mean the greater likelihood they will pass liberal crap and it won’t fly. That increases the chances of the GOP winning the midterms in addition to historical precedence regarding how the other party does in midterms. The elections in November did not go as well as the Dems thought they would. This country will not tolerate the liberal crap that is being pushed by the progressives of the Democrat party.

Do you actually think most will hear about the liberal crap they are doing? The media will hide it like they hid Hunter Bidens laptop. They will bury it under the spot they buried Joe Biden knowing and hiding the fact his son raped his niece.  

You will know. I will know. But Joe blow on the street will never know.

With control of both houses of Congress and the WH, there's nobody to stop them from doing all of the things they've said they want to do.

Pack the SCOTUS, do away with the filibuster, make DC and PR states....

We'd have to rely on Kamaltoe to have America's best interests at heart with her tie breaking vote. 

Schmuck Schumer said so himself. "First we take Georgia and then we change America."

What they need to ban is racial classifications.

I agree there’s nothing to stop them for the first two year but hopefully the midterms will begin to change things and then the 2024 Presidential election. I’m trying to be optimistic.

Amen has zero to do with gender.  We are being led by outright idiots who's first inclination is defer to identity over anything else.  

 

Quote

 

Origins of amen

Amen is commonly used after a prayer, creed, or other formal statement. It is spoken to express solemn ratification or agreement. It means “it is so” or “so it be.” Amen is derived from the Hebrew āmēn, which means “certainty,” “truth,” and “verily.”

In English, the word has two primary pronunciations: ah-men or ay-men. But, it can be expressed in endless ways, from a soft whisper to a joyous shout. Amen is found in both the Old and New Testament.
