There are over 6,000 physical differences between biological males and biological females and surgery and dress can affect only the most superficial of these. Indeed, a person\u2019s sex is literally \u201cbaked\u201d into his body, as <em>each<\/em> biological male cell has an XY sex chromosome pairing and <em>each <\/em>biological female cell has an XX sex chromosome pairing. It is simply impossible for a biological male to become a female, no matter what a person believes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many sane commentators point out the irrationality and anti-science aspects of the radical transgender movement, they all too often <em>adopt the language of the transgender movement<\/em>. For example, in many articles critical of Lia Thomas, a biological male \u201cidentifying\u201d as a \u201cfemale\u201d who is being allowed to participate on a college women\u2019s swim team and is now dominating the world of female swimming, still referred to Thomas as \u201cshe,\u201d ignoring the fact that Thomas is still a biological male. Likewise, many opponents of the radical transgender agenda refer to biological males \u201cidentifying\u201d as women as \u201ctransgender women,\u201d rather calling them what they really are: males. In addition, many otherwise sane commentators refer to \u201cstraight\u201d people using the made-up pro-transgender term \u201ccisgenderded\u201d and refer to the normal sexual environment that has dominated mammalian species since their first appearance on the earth using the pro-transgender term \u201chetero-normativity.\u201d And many commentators critical of radical transgenderism, instead of using the word &#8220;sex&#8221; when referring to males and females, use the term &#8220;gender,&#8221; which has been perverted by radical transgender activists to force down our throats the concept that one&#8217;s &#8220;gender identity&#8221; can be different from one&#8217;s &#8220;sex.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>British pro-sanity activist Kellie-Jay Keen, in a press conference on March 15, 2022, in front of the White House, noted this misuse of language that is favoring the radical transgender cause. As reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/15\/womens-rights-champion-never-say-transwoman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Breitbart News<\/a>, Keen declared:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cYou have to take back the language. You cannot, cannot, ever use the language of trans activism and give it any validation whatsoever. Because that is the thing \u2014 if you can\u2019t speak about what\u2019s happening to women, if the word \u201cwoman\u201d no longer means \u201cwoman,\u201d and it means anyone who identifies as a woman, then you are in really dangerous territory.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Keen then noted how even Republicans otherwise critical of the radical transgender movement still used the terms of the movement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cI went to speak to staffers on this yesterday, and it\u2019s just really interesting that even in polite circles, even in polite Republican circles, they are using the words like \u2018trans,\u2019 \u2018transwoman,\u2019 \u2018transgender,\u2019 as if those people are genuinely a different category of human [from male or female]\u2026But once you say \u201cshe\u201d for a man, or \u201ctranswoman\u201d for a man, you lose the ability to be able to speak clearly about what it is and where that man is welcome.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>As Confucius said over 2,000 years ago: \u201cThe beginning of wisdom is the ability to call things by their right names.\u201d&nbsp;British activist Kellie-Jay Keen all too well knows this truth, which is why she is urging all people to use the proper words to refer to things. Thus \u201cman\u201d should be used instead of \u201ctransgender woman\u201d when referring to a biological male, \u201che\u201d should be used to refer to a biological man and \u201cshe\u201d to refer to a biological woman, and \u201cheterosexual\u201d should be used rather than \u201ccisgendered\u201d when referring to people who adhere to the normal sexual dynamic. Let\u2019s hope that more sane people listen to Keen so once again words are used to refer to the truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fact: It is simply impossible for one to change their biological sex, no matter what a person believes.<br \/>\nYet, here we are as a culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":651,"featured_media":131941,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"subtitle":"Fact: It is simply impossible for one to change their biological sex, no matter what a person believes.
