Elton John discovers that even coronavirus won't stop the pronoun wars

Right now, Sir Elton is taking incoming fire from the woke crowd.  His crime?  "Misgendering" Sam Smith, a male who no longer understands what's living in his underpants.  That's why Smith announced a year ago that he's an "it."  Oh, pardon me.  He's "non-binary," which is the politically correct term for a living being that's neither male nor female.

Andrea Widburg  "One of the constants in social media posts from or emails between conservatives is the hope that the coronavirus pandemic will knock the underpinnings from gender madness.  The reasoning behind this hope is that the "gender is a social construct" theory was the luxury of a safe, affluent society.  With people feeling insecure about both their physical safety and their economic security, "wokeness" will be exposed for the frivolous nonsense it really is and quickly recede.

"The problem with this hope is that it doesn't consider that wokeness is not always frivolous nonsense.  Indeed, it seldom is.  Instead, there are two primary drivers behind gender madness.  The first is a concerted effort to break down traditional Judeo-Christian Western civilization so it can be rebuilt from the ground up.  The second is genuine insanity emanating from those poor souls driven mad by people in that first category (the power-hungry woke activists).

. . . 

"Also appearing was Sam Smith, the artist formerly known as "he."  When introducing Smith, Sir Elton said, "Here, from his bedroom in his home in London, is my dear friend, Sam Smith."  To his credit, Smith did not take umbrage at that introduction, even though it failed to acknowledge his it-ness.

"The woke twitterati, however, were surprised and outraged:"

Did Elton John just misgender Sam Smith?

Was enjoying the #iHeartLivingRoomConcert until Elton John called Sam Smith the wrong pronouns. It’s 2020 and we still are discriminating against non-binary people. Elton John has no idea what kind of bigotry and hate Sam Smith has faced. Do better. #LGBTQoftwitter #BeKind

A mistake?
A MISTAKE?!
Calling a non-binary person “he” instead of “they” is an act of cisheteronormative violence.

Good grief.
