Yes, the PC crowd who like to spell "women" as "womyn" (or is it "wommon"?),
"person" as "persun," etc. I am reminded of a scene in "Monty Python's
Meaning of Life" ("The Miracle of Birth") where the woman gives birth in
a hospital and as the baby is whisked away she asks the doctor if it's a
boy or a girl and the doctor replies that he thinks it's a bit early to
start imposing roles on it. Or on a more sinister note, that poor man who
recently committed suicide: he was a victim of a trendy PC psychological
"theory" of the 1950s and 1960s that said human gender wasn't biologically
based at all, but rather was entirely based on socialization. In other
words, if you raise a male as a female he becomes a female and vice versa.
So this poor guy's circumcision was botched and his penis mutilated beyond
repair, so the PC doctors said that it didn't matter, they'd simply
remove his penis and fashion a vagina and the parents would simply raise
him as a girl and he'd become a girl. The only little problem was that
however fashionably politically-correct the theory was, it was WRONG. The
poor "persun" acted just like a male, and as shee approached puberty began
feeling an attraction for females. The poor chronologically-challenged
wommon thought shee was a lesbian, until hir parents told hir the truth.
Shee immediately decided to undergo a sex-change operation to become a
male again, but the psychological damage was so great he eventually
committed suicide (just a few months ago, I think).

Except like the "xtian-homophobe" you accuse me of being, I already
admitted I WAS gay (and extremely anti-xian, though I'm sure you
won't believe me). I really am not trying to advance the rightard
xian agenda, I am simply seeking the truth. Both left and right have
grossly distorted the facts to suit their respective political
agendas. I realize the high infection rate is embarassing for gays,
but they are actually harming themselves by distorting the numbers
downwards. On on hand they promote "safe sex", and on the other
they pretend that the actual rate of homosexual HIV infection is
"negligible," thus negating the need for safe sex. I believe this
was termed "doublethink" by an author of a very famous book, a
story where reality has been so distorted that up is down, black is
white, and two plus two equals five (or sometimes three).
