Blog 31 - You Are Living a Life of Pretend!?!

 

People in the LGBTQIA+ community celebrated “Pride Month” in June. I had a sense as I would guess most people do, of what this was supposed to be about, but I wanted more information on how this movement started, so I did a bit of research. So, to give a very brief and cryptic historical summary based on my google query, I learned the following information:

·       Prior to June 1969 bars that hosted “gay” people would be raided

·       In June 1969, customers at the Stonewall Inn in New York protested

·       The issue grew bigger with mass protests occurring

·       Brenda Howard, reportedly a bisexual activist, organized a pride march on the first anniversary of the Stonewall Inn protest.

·       They use the rainbow flag to signify diversity and use “pride” to signify self-esteem in their choices

 

Now I move on to the crux of my intentions for this writing which stems from the widespread mania that seems to be occurring surrounding the use of “pronouns”.

The pronouns to which I am specifically referring to at this time are as copied from “gaythrive.com”:

·       He/Him/His: Typically used by men

·       She/Her/Hers: Typically used by women

·       They/Them/Theirs: Often used by non-binary (transgender or identifies as a gender other than that which was assigned at birth) individuals but can also be a gender-neutral option for anyone.

·       Ze/Zir/Zirs: A less common set of pronouns used by some gender-diverse individuals (research this on your own).

·       Xe/Xem/Xir: Another gender-neutral pronoun set gaining recognition.

 

Those of you who wish to explore the origination of some of these pronouns may wish to do your own research. Suffice it to say that this vast selection of pronouns they want to use, seem to be congruent with the idea that gender is “fluid” and a “spectrum” rather than specific (meaning they want people to believe that one’s ‘gender’ is anything they want it to be. Now, traditionally speaking, one is assigned a gender at birth; male or female. There are rare genetic sex anomalies that can occur due to loss, damage, or addition of one or both sex chromosomes. I encourage you to research this further if you choose. If you have some questions regarding your own gender “issue”, I encourage you to further explore your DNA with a medical professional, needless to say these anomalies are rare, although many of us may have known one or more people with one.

All things considered, many people would concur that this entire idea of changing one’s pronouns and adding made up (simple truth here) pronouns only further complicates already complicated interpersonal communication. WHY would anyone want to do this other than to try an elevate their own importance to a state of “Pride” in the BAD sense (meaning haughty and full of oneself) rather than “Pride” in the sense that the “gay movement” initially meant it to be in terms of maintaining one’s self-esteem about their own choices.

Now, those of you who do not like the fact that I refer to living in a LGBTQIA+ lifestyle as a choice, please think again. The word ‘lifestyle’ (which they call it) in itself implies choice. The fact that one is born a specific gender and has surgery to try and change it, implies choice.

The fact is that God created people to be male and female so that we can procreate to populate the earth. If you do not believe in God, similarly to if you do believe there are multiple “genders” believing does not make it true. The facts are that there is scientific evidence that God does exist, (this is not the debate here, do your own research), there is also scientific evidence that one “chooses” to live a “gay” lifestyle, they are not “pre-destined” to do so.

So, back to the “pronoun” debate and to help you see just how silly it is; I will share a bit of my own history with you. I heard my grandmother suggest one time that we may have “royal blood” in our genealogy. If that were true, it is possible that my sibling and I might in all “reality” have a “title” such as “Prince” or “Princess”, “Duke” or “Dutchess”. Whether or not it is true, it does not make sense for me to go around demanding that people refer to me with that title just because I want them to.

All of that being said, how is it that there is ongoing tension between family members and friends who refuse to socialize with you if you refuse to indulge in their life of pretend and pronoun fantasy… I am presently experiencing this kind of relational/communication dilemma in my own life. When will people stop wishing they had a different job, a different spouse, a different gender and instead work on improving the life they have been given. Yes, it is true that we sometimes make choices based on things that have been done TO us, but we choose what to do with those experiences, so ultimately, we are where we are because of the choices we have made, and NOT because of FATE.
