When is a girl a boy?

During a saner time in our history, those so-called "parents" would have been charged with child abuse or tossed into a rubber room for psychiatric counseling.  When did the human race become so twisted in its reasoning?  And when did the logical members of society become so frightened that they won't dare stand up against this perversion of our culture?

American Thinker  "Every time I think I've heard the most outrageous example of cultural decline I can imagine, another one emerges to fracture any connection to commonsense reasoning.  The latest illustration of how distorted our educational institutions have become is the news that a West Point Virginia high school has fired a teacher because he refused to refer to a girl as a boy.  The girl, in this increasingly dysfunctional society, has decided "she" is a "he."  In the current vocabulary, which seems to be evolving into Twilight Zone territory, she is now a person of "transgender," the definition of which is "a person whose sense of personal identity and gender does not correspond with his birth sex."


"Therefore, if you wake up one day and decide you're not what you were born as, you can simply force the rest of the world to be as frivolous in its thinking as you are in yours.  The West Point school district voted unanimously (which tells you how scared they are to be politically incorrect) to terminate Peter Vlaming, a veteran French teacher who is adored by his other students.  Accusing him of (here comes another bizarre addition to our vocabulary) "misgendering" a student, the board said he was creating a hostile environment by such "discrimination."  Incidentally, the teacher happens to be a devout Christian who feels that his religious rights are being violated.  Even if he were an atheist, he shouldn't be forced to reject thousands of years of historical precedent regarding the two sexes." . . .

From 2016: Overpriced University Tells Students To Use Fake “Gender Inclusive” Pronouns  . . . "The pronoun posters instruct students and professors to start introducing themselves with their “name and pronouns — even to familiar colleagues and students.”

"For example, the posters advise that you might say — maybe at a football game or a sorority mixer: “I’m Steve and I use he/him/his pronouns. What should I call you?”
It’s ok, the posters tell us, if you make a mistake the first time. All you have to do is apologize and promise to do better next time:
"For example, the posters advise that you might say — maybe at a football game or a sorority mixer: “I’m Steve and I use he/him/his pronouns. What should I call you?”
“ 'Thank you for reminding me,” Vanderbilt students are now supposed to say. “I apologize and will use the correct pronoun for you in the future.' ” . . .
