Systemic injustice exists, but pretending thst pronouns will make everything right is silly to the point of dishonest.

To give but one example- if large corporations would stop trying to prevent their employees from unionizing, the result would be a transfer of concrete material benefits to brown, and black, and yellow, and white working class people greater than all the diversity committees ever formed, all thebunisex bathrooms, and greater than all the tweets ever tweeted.

Which is precisely why they won't do it. Instead, we denounce Melvin as "literal Hitler" for asserting that there are only 26 genders, plus genders not yet discovered.

"pretending thst pronouns will make everything right" - they don't. They know it won't solve anything. They just know it's a perfect distraction to keep dummies occupied while the status quo is maintained.

The people who run things know better. The virtue signalers, perhaps not so much.

More than distraction. It disconnects us from reality itself. From humans as sexually dimorphic species. https://jbilek.substack.com/p/gender-identity-a-corporate-fiction

For that matter, pretend that the 1/6 protesters, insurrectionists, whatever you want to call them, were to try to march into the NSA headquarters.

They'd be shot on sight, and nobody would dither waiting on orders from higher up.
