05/18/16: The McCulloch Minute: Preferred Gender Pronoun

Audio By Carbonatix

IN NEW YORK CITY, BUSINESSES FACE STIFF FINES FOR NOT REFERRING TO A PERSON BY THE GENDER PRONOUN THEY PREFER.  IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THEIR BIOLOGICAL DESIGNATION IS.  HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT GENDER PRONOUN THEY PREFER?  WELL, SINCE THEY DON’T WANT THE POOR TRANSGENDERED TO FEEL SINGLED OUT,  THEY ARE NOW GOING TO ASK EVERYBODY WHICH PRONOUN THEY PREFER.  LET ME REPEAT THAT.  SO WE DON’T ALIENATE THE TRANSGENDER POPULATION, WE MUST ASK EVERYONE WHAT GENDER PRONOUND THEY PREFER.  FOR WHAT MAY BE ONE HALF OF ONE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION, WE ARE NOW TURNING INTERPERSNAL IN INTERBUSINESS RELATIONS ON THEIR EAR.   AND THE GENDER POLICE, WHICH I’M ASSUMING THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HIRE TO ENFORCE THIS,  WELL, NO ONE HAS SAID IF THEY HAVE TO BE ASKED ALSO WHAT GENDER PRONOUN THEY PREFER.  NOW IMAGINE A 6’4’’ COP IN HIS UNIFORM WHO IS HAVING A BAD DAY.  HE WALKS INTO A COFFEE SHOP, AND THE FIRST EMPLOYEE HE ENCOUNTERS ASKS HIM IF HE PREFERS HE OR SHE WHEN BEING ADDRESSED.  WHAT UTTER MADNESS.  MAYBE THIS IS THE CAUSE THAT WILL GET MIDDLE AMERICA OFF THEIR LAZY DUFFS AND GET SOMEBODY TO STAND UP AND JUST SAY NO.  I’M JUST SAYIN’ .  I’M JOHN MCULLOCH.
