Tulsi Gabbard Leaves the Democrat Party

Here are Tulsi Gabbard's reasons for leaving the Democrat Party, based on a mass emailing I received:

I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms enshrined in our Constitution, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, are dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.

I believe in a government that is of the people, by the people, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite.

I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party. If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.

PayPal and Etsy Cancel Colin Wright Because He Teaches Basic Biology in his Writings

Biologist Colin Wright explains how PayPal and Etsy banned him for taking the position that there are only two sexes and that they are biologically grounded. He explains the PayPal actions at about the ten-minute mark.

Consider also the context: Colin Wright's background as a Ph.D student studying biology:

Min 8:04:

"I had maybe 100 applications out actually turned my my twitter I locked it down for maybe six months while I was applying for jobs um and when I was writing this one essay the first one I wrote for Quillette called "The New Evolution Deniers." I sent it to my advisor at the time and some of my mentors. They both came back and they said, "This is a fantastic essay. I agree with everything it's completely right, but you cannot publish this. This will ruin your career. If you do publish it don't put your name on it."

To me when the first thing they said was "this is fantastic and it's true." Then, to me, everything after the "but." If I would have not went ahead and published it, that would have just been--every reason that I wanted to get into science in the first place and to be a scientist to pursue truth, to pursue what's real about biology and the natural world--all of a sudden it seemed like academia really wasn't what I wanted it to be like. Do I want to work in an environment that is not going to allow me to say completely obviously true, things is that male and female exist? So really I no longer even wanted to have that job anymore given how much it's changed, since I had gone into it you know 12 years ago now at this point um so yeah so I was actually okay with it destroying my career um because I wanted to to be able to speak the truth."

When Someone Asks for Your Pronouns

On Twitter, Melinda Richards asked: “If someone asks me for my pronouns…what’s my best response?”

Here are some of the suggestions she received:

  • "Go with your gut." (Colin Wright)
  • “I’m not normalizing this ideology by giving you my pronouns” (Eyes Wide Open)
  • 'Why do you want to know?' (Geoffrey Miller)
  • “Your Majesty, of course.” (Pierre Chenekoala)
  • “The normal ones.” (Gyno Chad)
  • “I no speaka de wokie.” (Lou Rider)
  • “I identify as a donkey. My pronouns are hee/haw.” (Ryan Rally)
  • “Traditional” (MostlyInitTogether)
  • “I don’t recognize your religion.” (Lorraine Braddock)
  • "You're a bright kid. You work it out." (Dick Nalton)
  • “Just say ‘Treat me as a normal person and use the ones you have used 2 years ago.’” (Oliver Reed)

One more ...

“Point is, 'pronouns' are not used to "address" people - only when talking *about* someone. e.g. "he/she did such&such" When addressing someone, you use their name or title (Doctor, Professor etc), or sir/madam/miss if you don't know their name. So, their 'pronouns' are superfluous.” (Boomerang1)
