Police force tweets instructions on how to talk to transgender people
by Jonathon Van Maren, LifeSite:
I’m not sure who runs the Twitter account of the Halton Police Force, but considering the warnings of experts like Dr. Jordan B. Peterson on the free speech implications of the new transgender “rights” and Bill 89 in Ontario enshrining the right to a sex change as sacred, the decision to tweet out a “Handy Guide to Pronouns” had a vaguely sinister feel.
With the cheery warning “DKY [Did You Know] If you’re not sure what pronoun somebody uses, just ask. What are your preferred pronouns?” the police force presented a “Handy Guide to Pronouns” chart, lifted from “It Gets Better Yellowknife,” of all places. The chart was full of helpful ways to utilize ze-hir-hir, ze-zem-zir and ey-eir-em.
There’s a few obvious and rather hilarious problems with this. First, nearly nobody will have any idea what you’re talking about if you start to use any of these “words,” because aside from a few woke people who are aware of Queer Theory and the current insanity gripping university campuses, nobody uses them. Then there’s the fact that the “hir” and “hir” of the pronoun “ze” sound exactly like “her,” or at least are spelled that way. Maybe they are pronounced “here.” Anyways, either it’ll sound like you’re using the wrong word or it’ll sound like you violated the human rights of a trans person by calling a “hir” a “her.” When they were making these words up, they really should have thought this through a bit better.
