Anchors away...or should I say, 'Pronouns away'?

 American Thinker (Preferably  "anchors aweigh")

We face an existential struggle against the Chinese Communist Party and their PLA Navy.  War clouds are gathering in the western Pacific.  And our taxpayer dollars are funding this woke training video. 

"Several weeks ago, the secretary of the Navy identified climate change as an "existential threat" to the U.S. Navy and the nation and proudly proclaimed that climate change is the "focal point" for his tenure.  Now, according to the Daily Signal and other news outlets, the Navy has created a short training video to teach our warriors how to correctly use "'pronouns' and 'inclusive language' to create 'safe spaces' in the service."

"The short video is introduced by "Jony," who says he uses "he/him" pronouns, and "Conchy," who says she uses "she/her" pronouns (both are civilian engineers at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, Rhode Island), and instructs naval personnel that "using the right pronoun is ... a signal of acceptance and respect."  The proper use of pronouns, Conchy says, is a way to create "safe spaces" for everyone in the Navy.  And Jony says that "a really good way to do that is to use inclusive language."  "Instead of saying, 'Hey guys' you can say, 'Hey everyone' or 'Hey team.'"  Conchy adds that we can also use our pronouns in our emails and introduce each other by using our pronouns.

"Jony asks, "What would I do if I misgender someone?"  Conchy replies that it's not the end of the world, but just make sure to correct yourself, and don't place the burden on the person you offended to correct you.  If you don't know someone's pronouns, we are told, don't pressure him to give them because some people may be going through the "process of discovery" and don't yet know what their pronouns are.  Just use "gender-neutral" words.". . .

This would have helped at Midway I'm sure.
