As news was just seeping out with initially conflicting information regarding the demented transvestite murderer yesterday, my wife said something
that sparked a minor argument between us. She asked if the murderer was a "biological female." I asked her to never use that terminology again.
Indeed, I do not use it, never have and never will.
Why?, you ask...
I'll explain.
You see, Orwell's concept of Newspeak is a real thing. It is a tool of the New (really not 'new,' but as ancient as the tower of Babel)
Order.
It is the first step in the process of neurolinguistic programming, for as much as our words express our thoughts, they also
shape our thoughts. When you allow yourself to be coerced into expressing thoughts in Newspeak, you are allowing yourself to be
neurolinguistically programmed (i.e., brainwashed) by slow degrees that are not even perceptible to your own self.
To wit:
When speaking of a tranny, do you sometimes refer to him or her as a "biological" (insert actual sex)?
You likely do, like my dear partially brainwashed wife who asked if the murderer was a "biological female."
Now answer this question: Ten years ago - even five years ago - would it have occurred to you to refer to anyone as a "biological" male or a
"biological" female?
More than likely the answer to that question is a resounding NO! Back in the good ol' days, people were either just male or female, men or
women (as they actually still are today, XX and XY chromosomes and all that still being a thing). This ridiculous invented need to indicate
'biological' didn't exist. Women are women and men are men; always have been and always will be, Newspeak be damned! You would have just
asked, "Was it a man or a woman?" Not a "biological..."
Every time you refer to a tranny or cross-dresser as a "transgendered person," or described someone as a "biological ***," you are using
Newspeak and are allowng yourself to be neurolinguistically programmed (i.e., brainwashed) little by little. When you are induced to
call a man a she or a woman a he, to speak of "her testicles," it's the same, whether due to fear of social pressure or a misplaced sense of "nice."
This, my friends, is a perfect example of Newspeak.
Just STOP IT!
STOP using their neurolinguistic programmng vernacular for your own sake and that of those around you. Stop brainwashing yourself!
ETA: If, when you see a propaganda article saying something like "her testicles" (I actually saw that a couple of days ago) or "he was pregnant,"
something inside you doesn't retch, you are already partially brainwashed.
The fact that fealt the need to put a disclaimer is funny.
And using the word tranny is considered to be offensive.
So it would seem that you support offensive slurs meant to degrade groups of people.
Tisk tisk
I believe when speaking to someone maybe not say that.
But when we discuss an event with someone involved and that subject is part of that story I believe it to appropriate.
Being adopted as a baby, most adoptees wonder about their " biological parents" and distinguish them from the parents who raised them. So, I think
there might be some holes in your assertion ?

I'm with you inconserv. I don't use the newspeak and I won't use it. If you were born a man, your a freaking man.
I don't call people with piercings all over their face a pin cushion , all thought I'd like to.

Not sure what disclaimer you refer to. I do not disclaim anything I said.
"Tranny" is a contraction of the word "transvestite," which means a cross-dresser, or someone who disguises him- or herself as the opposite sex.
I fine lying about scientific biological fact to be offensive.
I believe when speaking to someone maybe not say that.
Why? Why when speaking to someone should we avoid facts? Again, you said that the language used in the OP were akin to offensive slurs. So I would
like to know what a defensive slur is.

Ok well this kind of counters your first sentence there.
