"Do not assign a gender to anything that doesn't have one" French, spanish, italian, germanic, arabic and every other gendered language will have a field trip with this.

This one is specially retarded. Who the fuck cares if you gender shit that isn't gendered.

If I want to call a radish a woman is she going to get fucking offended and kill herself? No because radishes don't have feelings.

This is totally off topic, but I got a taco from a food truck and I'd never seen these pale white slices with them before, so I asked Reddit what it was, and the only guy who answered told me it was a Mexican potato. Fast forward a few months and I'm in a cooking sub and guess what I see, a mexican potato! I got all excited and told them how I never had them before recently and how much I had enjoyed mexican potatoes.

And they're like: "you mean a radish?"

You should try daikon radish, they're delicious.

What's special about them?

They're very crisp and refreshing, not as spicy as a red radish. They're in a lot of Asian stews and soups, like potatoes are in more western dishes.

Please try to correct the following problematic terminology in your statement.

Crisp = Might be seen as a violent threats. Aka burned to a crisp.

Spicy= A slur directed at passionate Latinx

Red=Negative racial connotation towards native Americans.

They= avoid gendered pronouns when referring to inanimate objects

Lot=Problematic anti LGBTQ relationship to Biblical account of Sodom

Asian= Not inclusive of black Asians

Soups= Culturally insensitive towards salads

Potatoes = Possible fat phobic and Irish slur

Western = Promoting cowboy on cowboy violence.

Dishes = Avoid non-concrete idioms immigrants may find hard to understand.

Please rewrite your statement in the following manner.

Its are very crunch chew and refreshing. Not as seasoning tongue pain wise as orange without yellow radish. Its are in a plurality of far east non-european Eurasian stews and non-beverage liquid meal supplementals. Like brown ground tubers are in more colonizer food ensembles.

The modern definition of "gender" as it applies to human sexuality was really popularized by a pedophile named John Money. It is not without irony he is considered the father of the sex change movement.

Reject stupid definitions. Nobody wins playing their games.

Believe me I know. There are old online dictionaries out there from like 1913. Sometimes I just browse them to see the original meaning of words compared to the new think.

This is another reason I'm such a fan of physical media, paper books, CDs, DVDs, records, tape, paper photos. Everything online can be changed, edited, memory holed, redefined, cancelled etc. You "bought" a streaming movie? Whoops someone bought the studio and now it's gone, you never really owned it in the first place. With a book they will physically have to burn it in the street.

The sad part is everyone just goes along with this shit like it was normal.

Fairly certain that English used to have gender too, but lost it over the same time period in which we moved to Middle English from Old English, but we definitely still have remnants of it in Modern English, we just don’t notice it until someone does it wrong and then it sticks out like a sore thumb (just like native English speakers all have seem to have an innate sense for adjectival order, but try explaining it and you just can’t…I have to actually look it up every time I teach it to kids because I cannot ever remember it).
