Forgiven or not, you would be thinking wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The social justice monster has come full circle and is now devouring its \u2018Dr. Frankenstein\u2019 creator. That much was clear this week as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, in the name of \u201cinclusivity\u201d and \u201cdiversity,\u201d tossed raw meat to the radical progressives inside of the Democratic Party by banning gender-specific terms.<\/p>\n<p>The revamped House <a href=\"https:\/\/rules.house.gov\/sites\/democrats.rules.house.gov\/files\/BILLS-117hresPIH-hres5.pdf\">code of conduct<\/a> now forbids use of those words that once made a Hallmark card worth sending. Intimate words that evoke familiarity, like \u2018father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, grandson, and granddaughter\u2026 gone with the wind.<\/p>\n<p>Because any allusion to the binary world of male and female is offensive to about 0.01 percent of the nation\u2019s population, lawmakers will be forced to substitute those sex-stained terms with surgically sterile and neutered ones like \u2018\u2018parent, child, sibling, parent\u2019s sibling, first cousin, sibling\u2019s child, spouse, parent-in-law, child-in-law, sibling-in-law, stepparent, step child, stepsibling, half-sibling, or grandchild.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAmen\u201d and \u201cAwoman\u201d?

First, the new House rules represent just the latest broadside against the traditional nuclear family, which requires for its very survival a commitment to biological certainties, like the existence of just two reproductive sexes, known throughout millennia as \u2018male\u2019 and \u2018female\u2019 and denoted by the XY and XX chromosomes, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>These days, however, a newborn baby can no longer expect to be delivered into a sane world where a doctor may freely congratulate its mother and father \u2013 excuse me, the parents \u2013 on the birth of a beautiful baby girl or boy \u2013 excuse me, offspring. That\u2019s because \u201cassigning sex\u201d at birth is no longer acceptable to the cancel culture inquisition. That would be oppressing the little bambino with something called \u2018science\u2019 at a time when some politically motivated members of the medical community are insisting that gender is nothing more than a \u2018social construct,\u2019 a fluid concept that can change at any time.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is stupid.<\/p>\n<p>Signed,<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A father, son, and brother <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bG9SlRAy6N\">https:\/\/t.co\/bG9SlRAy6N<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader\/status\/1345170980335923201?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 2, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In fact, for those who have not been keeping tabs on the escalating madness, there are now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/sex-love\/a20888315\/genders-identity-list-definitions\/\">dozens of gender types<\/a>, including male, female, transgender, gender neutral, non-binary, agender, pangender and genderqueer. Can anyone imagine what it must be like for a pimply pubescent to sit through a sex-education class in the midst of such infernal confusion and uncertainty? Moreover, it\u2019s the height of irony and arrogance how Democrats are lecturing Republicans about \u201cfollowing the science\u201d on Covid-19, yet they refuse to follow the simplest of all science, that is, the existence of exactly two human genders, male and female. The real \u2018social constructs\u2019 are the other dozens of categories that now wish to claim status as \u2018genders.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The presumptuousness and stupidity on the part of the Democrats does not end there. At a time when the Cultural Marxists cannot bear to hear familial terms dripping with sexual innuendo, they are gleefully introducing elementary school children to discussions on alternative sexual lifestyles, like transgender. Most adults have no problem with an individual identifying with whichever sex he or she desires. But would it be asking too much to let the children stick to learning the Three Rs before jumping headlong into an orgy of lifestyles choices? The danger of subjecting young and impressionable children to this pseudo-science is apparent in the increasing number of youth who are now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news-medical.net\/news\/20191007\/Hundreds-of-trans-people-regret-changing-their-gender-says-trans-activist.aspx\">regretting<\/a> their irreversible sex-change operations.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The prayer to open the 117th Congress ended with &quot;amen and a-women.&quot; <\/p>\n<p>Amen is Latin for &quot;so be it.&quot; <\/p>\n<p>It&#39;s not a gendered word.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, facts are irrelevant to progressives.

Concealed below the shroud of Orwellian doublespeak is a tyrannical word salad that does just the opposite of what it purports to do: increase \u201cinclusion\u201d and \u201cdiversity\u201d in society.<\/p>\n<p>For example, how can one have any sort of conversation on \u2018women\u2019s rights,\u2019 for example, when any mention of the fair sex has been outright banned?
