All this and Piers Morgan can't identify as a penguin. I have never heard of such hypocrisy and injustice. I identify as "over it gender" and "pronounphobic." My flag is the shape of the middle finger🖕🏼with an orange flame on the nail. 🔥

I propose we gay people who know that’s our solid identity boycott pride month and let these confused kids have at it in full Monty display. It’s total theater and attention getting performance.

Ah, yes. I, too, calculate the exact ratio of how masculine and feminine I feel on any given day.

Bad Apple apparently has a big ol' herp, so at least his trad lifestyle is yielding some nookie.

Just a reminder: make sure you change your gender fluid on a regular basis ! I would suggest You start on that beautiful first day of Pride Month , and then monthly after that , to remind yourself to be proud of whatever gender you feel you are each month.

As always, Gary, this is inspired. Your infrequent output, compared to the big guns whose only job is writing on Substack, is always worth waiting for.

The 72 genders that I first learned about back in the old times have evolved so much that I’m truly inspired to uncover at least 39 additional genders that I can apply at any given moment. Where would my queer self be without your tutelage?

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I think everyone should just say "No!" to the whole gender stupidity. Sure, I can see the humor in 1000+ "genders", it's kind of fun in a way. But the underlying movement is all sorts of wrong. Kids have their parents terrified of going against gender ideology and force them to say nonsense. It's ALL BAD!! Just say NO. They'll stomp their feet and call you a terrible person (they sure did with me) but soon they'll move on to someone else they can bully and shame into compliance. It's not about "being kind" it's about accepting their bizarre worldview.

Yeah, I hear you. More people definitely need to speak up and say NO to all of this. I feel like my Substack can be such a downer so I want to inject some humor when possible. And with this endless list of genders, I think there is also a little bit of power in pointing out how ridiculous it all is--if we can get people to laugh at it, they may be more inclined to speak out against it. And the people preaching it will look like the (dangerous) fools they are.

It’s a complete power play! Not really funny when people lose their jobs because they don’t go along with the insanity! It’s authoritarianism on steroids! Take it seriously and fight it !

While I can see the fun and humor in all of these "genders" it's important to keep in mind that the word "gender" doesn't actually mean anything anymore. When something can mean everything, nothing, or whatever you want it to, it's lost any meaning. It used to be a more polite way of saying "sex". Can you picture getting an invite to a "Sex Reveal Party" for a baby? "Gender" has been co-opted by ideolouges for political purposes.

Yes! At my job, they allow guests to have 'gender reveal parties' and I have also seen employees holding 'gender reveal parties' for pregnant coworkers. So clearly they know what sex is. But they want to have it both ways and pretend that gender is some kind of mystery. It's such bs.

I'm going to be optimistic and assume a bunch of these absurdities were created by satirists protesting gender ideology. I can't bear to think otherwise...

It’s got to be satire, but with the trans cult, you never can be sure!🤣

My 8yo son would choose bad apple all day long. Might not be a good marketing scheme for normal boys.🙃

Can we do a different gender for every day of the week or is that one already done? Lol

I remember seeing a video of some maniac who had different bracelets with all her various pronouns on them because her gender changed hour to hour. And this is the kind of thing our jobs want us to respect!

I saw the stuff on Tumblr. My conclusion was that these are people who like flags and classical languages. (Things I also like.)

Good lord!! When we hit 5,000 will there be a celebration?! A costume party seems appropriate.
