They also recommend using the slur "queer" and describing men with mental health issues as women. Not exactly a great source to be referencing.

Lol fucking savage.

Also I wonder who complained that they find "homosexual" offensive? Because I suspect a lot of them were heterosexual trans. Can't be using a word that excludes them and acknowledges sex over gender.

They are using a top-down approach to force a way of thinking by changing the words people use just like in 1984.

Dictionaries generally do change definitions over time but that's due to the way people use words over time. They have already managed to get dictionaries to change terms like man and woman but virtually no one uses those words the way they have forced the definition to be in writing.

Autogynephiliac transgendered persons find homosexual offensive, even when it is their own homosexuality. That's why so many of them are trans instead of just queer.

If they taught kids proper language skills instead of queer theory, we wouldn't need grammerly.

They don’t want children to be smart. They want children to be obedient cattle.

Grammerly

Deliberate or?

Well I find Grammarly’s privacy policy offensive, yet here we are.

They are allowed to be offended. We are not.

You haven't identified yourself with remotely enough intersectional oppression then. This will help you get started claiming those precious disadvantage points which you can trade in for 'offense taken' tokens.

I wonder how many of the people who cry about 'homosexual' being clinical and offensive will use 'birthing bodies' and 'people who bleed' in their next breath? 🤔

[–]iamonlyoneman 10 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 0 fun11 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

and how many of them are 'wearing a scrotum'

birthing bodies'

You forgot the one and only, the classic "menstruator".

I’d say all of them.

Better than being forced to worship at the altar of Trans.

I don’t know what Grammarly is, and I’m never going to use them anyway. The word homosexual isn’t offensive. All it does is describes a person who is exclusively same sex attracted. If you are offended by that word, then seek help. But it makes sense why organisations like GLAAD want to erase that word from the English language, because that word illustrates the fact that gay men and lesbians are only attracted to males and females respectively. And obviously because GLAAD has stabbed us in the back in favour of Big Pharma, gender ideologues and the mentally ill.

Call me a homosexual, because I am one. Just don’t call me queer, because I’m not queer.

I wish a video of a man reading this statement would pop up FIRST every time one of those annoying Grammarly ads does on Youtube!

Because a whole generation was raised on text messages, there are now millions of native English speakers who write like struggling ESL students.

One of the best things about modern smartphones is that they have full qwerty virtual keyboards so that there is no excuse for using text speech. In the mid-2000s and earlier, phones only had 21 buttons and you had to hit the 3 button three times to type the letter 'F'. And some carriers had character limits for text messages, so of course a lot of people used text speech. But by 2009 most people could afford phones with full keyboards, whether virtual or physical, so there’s no excuse. But even back in 2005, when I got my first phone, which was basic, I still used proper English when texting, and my parents told me not to use text speech when texting my younger sister so she wouldn’t get confused after she got her first phone.

What about heterosexual? I'm a heterosexual male, is me being exclusively opposite sex attracted "transphobic"? This is stupid & nonsensical. The word homosexual is deemed offensive? Why not heterosexual? Homosexual is just a person who is same-sex attracted. Give these people therapy & leave the rest of sane society alone.

TRAs have started coming for you and other heterosexuals since Kyle Royce announced he is "super straight". Which is basically straight. But this offended TRAs and Reddit banned the SuperStraight subreddit.

Yeah, they can ban people online, but irl, it doesn't change the reality that the greater society still hookup, date, & marry based on sexuality dealing in natal biological sex. Sure, they can whine & have tech companies in their pockets, but still doesn't change the fact that their delusions aren't going to change sexualities based on sex.

Fortunately, we have alternatives to Big Tech.

Facebook: Minds, VKonkakte

Reddit: Saidit

Twitter: Gab

YouTube: BitChute, Odysee

The only thing we need is for more people to go on these sites and build them up as real alternatives.

Another not-so-subtle attempt to push people back into the closet. All in the name of "progressivism."

Would love to see a version of the game "right-wing bigot or left-wing bigot" with replacements like this:
