Chadwick Moore: What Other Terms Need to Go After “Latinx”
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the new governor for Arkansas, signed an executive order immediately after she was sworn in. The word “Latinx” Official government use.
It’s a step in the right direction. While neither the government nor society should make a habit of outright banning words, they also shouldn’t inject extraneous, fringe jargon where it never belonged in the place. Latinx has a way of making phrases feel more fringe than Latinx. According to a 2020 Pew Research PollOnly 3% of Hispanics have ever heard of the term and 76% of Latinos never used it. Hispanics, Latinos and Latinas all find it extremely useful. “Latinx” It is quite bizarre and even offensive. Late 2020 polls revealed that 40% Hispanics believe they are able to speak English. Do not take offense to the term.
Sanders isn’t the only leader returning common sense to everyday language. The Catholic Diocese of Des Moines was established in December. Preferential pronouns are not allowed In its 17 schools, and 80 parishes. There was outcry. Despite Catholic school parents cheering the move across the state. Iowa Democratic State Senator Claire Celsi used Facebook to vent her frustrations. “These schools want public dollars and want to treat kids in a way that might cause them to commit suicide,” And “This is not what Jesus would do.”
Today, the left’s idea of free speech has become coerced speech. Their woke babble — manufactured by outlier ideologues with too much time on their hands — insists that mainstream interpretations of reality, culture, and even our own bodies is flawed and needs to be corrected.
This is not government’s role. Whenever a Republican governor puts the brakes on the excesses of the left — like Stopping sex ed in kindergarten or removing a silly word like Latinx from official vernacular — social justice types are all too giddy to cosplay as libertines. “Here’s that fascism we warned you about,” they’ll squeal, imagining themselves part of a digital, gender-neutral march on Selma.
If other states were to follow Arkansas’ lead, a few more examples of loopy lingo ought to be tossed into the bin. For starters, it’s time to purge the newfangled ‘Q’ LGBTQ. It stands for “queer,” Queer is not a sexuality, nor a gender identity. Instead, it’s a fashion statement that demands attention and a cry for attention. While you’ll find plenty of middle of the road LGBTs and Hispanics, you won’t find many who identify as queer, or Latinx — and that’s a good barometer to determine if a word belongs in representative government, or is merely extremist mumbo jumbo.
The term can be the same. “cisgender,” Which translates to “not trans” This is a kind of mind-control effort that has been pushed forth by the gendere cult. It’s nice to be respectful of people’s differences—and we ought to try—but we don’t need to marginalize 99.5% by inventing a new classification that no one asked for— or rarely uses.
When the The word was changed by the Biden administration “mothers” For “birthing people” Radical activists squealed with delight in a budget proposal for 2021. This was done, we’re told, to protect the feelings of trans men who have babies. This same logic was applied to a case that occurred in Washington State’s Department of Health refusing to use this word “woman” An ad encouraging awareness about cervical cancer. In both cases, women who question this madness need to be re-educated. Leaders who worship at the altars of woke tell us that.
However, trans men (biologically females who identify with men) have a very low chance of getting pregnant. Every time something happens, a crew of cameras shows up.. This is because most trans men with gender dysphoria would find pregnancy very difficult. Many do all they can to avoid it. Which is why there’s no need for the White House to cram words together like puzzle pieces to coddle this improbable identity.
Then there’s the seemingly ubiquitous BIPOC, or “black, indigenous, and people of color,” This acronym was first used in 2013 and has explicitly political goals. It is so popular that it was adopted by 2020. New York Times even asked whether BIPOC was a question. “is doing its job?” What kind of job could that be? It’s not hard to see: To create a common experience among all Americans of non-white ethnicity in order to direct them to a certain political agenda for the Democratic Party.
The left is aware, and somewhat ashamed of, just how un-liberal they’ve become. But they can’t help themselves; they’re addicted to power. But they don’t see that when you begin to use the government for your own purposes, it can be dangerous. You can control what people sayThis creates a dangerous precedent which could come back to bite your. So far, the Republican governors who’ve pushed back have shown a level of restraint. Perhaps the left could learn something from this.
