Over the weekend, Jim Hoft, the founder of Gateway Pundit, a popular conservative web site, used the phrase “assigned male at birth” in a story about a 17-year-old boy pretending to be a girl who then beat the hell out of a real girl in the girls’ room at school.
Oh come on. Stop it. The phrase is loaded communist doubletalk that undermines a belief in God, rationalizes abortion and accepts the very concept that a man can will himself into being a woman. I try not to speak stupid lies and try to speak the truth. (Pats himself on the back.)
Let me explain the God part. The Lord does not assign you a sex; he creates you as a man or a woman depending on your place in His plan.
The lefty pitch to kids for changing sexes is you are assigned by the doctor and doctors make mistakes. This eliminates God. Always keep in mind that the devil’s greatest trick is not in making people believe he doesn’t exist, but in making people believe God doesn’t.
The abortion part is the implication that you are not a baby until birth because you are assigned at birth. This means you were nothing before birth but a bellyache (and back ache), therefore killing you in the womb is a choice, not a crime.
Finally, being assigned a sex means you can change your assignment.
Hoft is a good guy and I hesitated naming him but the truth is the truth. This is not a typo but a slip into the web of lies the devil — through the AP stylebook.
Hoft’s report began, “A mother in Oklahoma has filed a lawsuit against Edmond Public Schools after her teenage daughter was allegedly severely beaten by a transgender student in the girls’ bathroom.
“The incident, which took place at Edmond Memorial High School on October 26, 2022, allegedly involved a 15-year-old girl, referred to as E.G., being severely beaten by a 17-year-old transgender student.
“The lawsuit, filed last Thursday by Theresa Gooden, claims that the accused attacker, assigned male at birth, used the girls’ restroom in violation of a state law signed in May 2022. The law stipulates that public school students must use restrooms corresponding to the sex stated on their birth certificates.”
Assigned male at birth is an evil phrase we should not only avoid but delight in avoiding. Created by the Lord as a male is more accurate. Maybe I should start using it. I should use it in my bio.
Words are powerful. Lefties use language to play the long game.
Gender-affirming health care is another lefty spin, this time to distract attention from what it really is: a sex-change operation.
Sometimes the left changes the name over and over again. Homosexual marriage became gay marriage and then it became same-sex marriage.
Pedophiles are on their way to being minor-attracted people, which will become youth-attracted persons because the word minor reminds people that it is illegal to have sex with children.
Lefties play these word games because semantics work. The left won the abortion argument by calling themselves pro-choice instead. When opponents of abortion called themselves pro-life, lefties said everyone is pro-life and everyone should be pro-choice.
It took justices 49 years before they finally read the Constitution and rejected Roe v. Wade. Abortion advocates whine that 24 states have banned or will ban abortion.
When seven old men on the court created Roe in 1973, 46 states banned it at that time.
Then there is this business of calling the killing of a baby in the womb reproductive rights. This is a wrong but a useful phrase to the abortion industry.
First, calling it reproductive denies the death of a baby. It implies that abortion somehow saves a woman so she can reproduce later at her own convenience.
Second, calling it a right elevates abortion to a higher level. Women say if men got pregnant, abortion would be a right. That is a dated argument now that T-girls have taken over LGBT and the left.
Finally, the phrase makes the case for the government funding abortion by making killing a baby in a womb a right.
Capitalizing black should be limited to using the word first in a sentence or brand names and titles because calling one race Black and another one white says blacks are superior to whites.
Along those lines, unless you are talking about stocks or the value of your home, avoid using equity because it is another lefty sleight of hand. They are replacing equality with equity for the same reason they capitalize black.
Liberals stopped seeking equality when Martin Luther King died. There are 16 quotes on his statue in Washington. None of them say “I have a dream” because King’s dream of tranquil equality is their nightmare as that will put the race exploiters like Al Sharpton out of business.
Overall, avoid using any word that ends in phobic, except to mock the hell out of a liberal.
Climate change is a difficult one to avoid but calling it global warming instead works because it reminds people of that folly, which forced re-branding their pseudo-science climate change.
The phrase climate change also broadens the natural disasters the left can expropriate as proof of their nonsensical claim that carbon dioxide is heating up the world. As Rush Limbaugh once observed, 1% of all rains in any year is a 100-year rain on average. The same is true for droughts, blizzards and hurricanes.
Love is love is an ungodly phrase. Don’t fall for it. God is love. John 4:16.
What a sly lie by the devil. I mean, it makes sense in a way. I remember the cartoon “Love is . . .” which showed examples of people showing their love., such as “Love is someone scratching the itch you can’t reach.” But that is a display of love. God is love. The devil wants you to forget that as he promotes hedonism.
Calling sex gender is a lie.
Calling illegal aliens migrants is a lie.
Calling prostitutes sex workers is a lie.
Calling a riot a mostly peaceful protest is a lie.
Some liberal words are worth using. Conservatism’s appropriation of woke has liberals now putting the word in scary quotes as if they do not know the meaning of a word they redefined.
Reparations is another word I use because I believe through time the word will be a pejorative for the liberal promise to redistribute wealth along the lines of race.
But be careful not to allow liberals to use language to redefine the issue. Even a legend like Hoft can slip because liberals are good at the traps they set.
“sex-change operation” is also an impossibility
The phrase that gets my goat, and one Don seems to have forgotten, is "hate speech." there's no such thing. There is just speech libs don't like and, apparently, can't argue coherently against. "Hate speech" is just an attempt to prevent speech from an opposing viewpoint.
Then there's "hate crime." Sheesh!
