Use of terms such as "Gender Affirmation" rather than the saying actual surgeries and hormones shows many of these advocates cannot explain why a double mastectomy for a girl is needed.

‘Gender affirmation’ as just one more left wing oxymoron in common use today - you know - like ‘reproductive health’.

It's all Newspeak. Everything they say means the opposite of the words.

There does seem to be a lot of obfuscation of language, just listen to NPR. Homeless > unhoused, retraction > recession, men who have sex with men > gay [lol] etc., ad nauseam. I've really become attuned to it recently and it feels like a concerted effort to soften the impact of failed DNC policies and deceive voters.

Most Americans don't think long term, it's all about the next 5 minutes. I don't see a grand plan on the left, but I do see long term thinking on the right, and most of it is diabolical.

It all started, as some might recall, with the "anti-racism" which was enforced racism.

CRT started the whole ugly ball rolling.

Rob, we live in a world of newly defined or made up words and phrases. All about politics and power.
