Well, now that you've pointed it out, the whole pronoun thing is even more ridiculous than I previously thought. Big Grin I'm a little embarrassed that I missed that, but I have yet to be confronted by this personally. I'm ready now though.

You'd think virtually any large charity would have learned from watching the
Salvation Army debacle.

They've sewn the wind now....

So you’re saying that we want to control how others speak about or describe us? This is hilarious.
For a country that talks so much about wanting to come together, they are creating so much more diversity…I think I would put under my preferred pronouns (if it ever came up) “undefined”

She's probably done more than these pissant DEI cretins will ever do in their lifetimes. Fucking insane.

This is why we have the 2A. So that someday, when the need arises, we will be able to defend and protect against the insane in charge. Unfuckingbeleivable.


From what I have seen the pronoun people aren’t charitable. They are more inclined to build themself a nest at a place like that and line it with all they can get.

That's actually a pretty good idea. If most conservatives did this when confronted with the same situation (define pronouns in your email or risk the wrath of the pronoun wienies), I believe it would also completely dilute and destroy any relevance from the so called 'non binary' crowd.

I like it.

Many of ya'll have probably also realized that removing this 90 year old woman from the charity work she so obviously loved will likely ultimately kill her. It seems obvious she lived to do it. Not set in stone, but c'mon.

Vanna, give me a letter.

I'll buy a vowel, Pat.

I don't need no stinking pronouns!

I'm glad that MS Society is getting exposed for this and subject to the backlash they are due.

But this seems to read as they didn't proactively indoctrinate the volunteer. That the policies they have are just and appropriate, it's just that they didn't ensure the volunteer was aware of them. This is the extent of their mistake.

To which, if true, MS Society can go fuck themselves. Their DEI policies need to DIE.

Yep, it's the "sorry we got caught" apology. Roll Eyes

I learned many years ago that most of these larger organizations shouldn't get my money or time.

They are bureaucratic, inefficient and top heavy groups that hijack a virtuous sounding name and are best at lobbying government and big corporations to pay up. The funding goes to big salaries at the top and slick advertising campaigns.

Without meaning to, they did this lady and the public a favor by exposing their hypocrisy.

Of course it is. That's what it always is and that's what it always shall be with leftist phonies.

The important thing is that they were forced to back down.

The better question might be does she WANT to be reinstated...

And I agree...an apology of "we got caught". NOT an apology of remorse or true repentance. That's what overcooks my grits about Libtards and their duplicity...

Yeah, they're not sorry for their bullshit! As said earlier, you'd think they'd learn from other examples...like Salvation Army, but I guess they're too stupid or stubborn or both.

I’d tell them to kiss my ass.
At 90 years old she’s lived through more life and seen more bullshit than all these fucking assholes.
I just hope she can find something else to motivate her (notice all the pronouns).

What foolishness this is.

I hope she instead told them that they can shove their she/her and ze/xir up their asses.
