Long before the trans agenda was a twinkle in Lady Ga-Ga’s lightning bolt decorated eye, Ali G satirically asked the question….
Showing my age a bit, I watched Enter the Dragon as a kid and thought Mr Williams was cool. I loved the whole black culture thing and resented being born a blonde haired English kid. I think I must have sulked about it for a time, but I eventually made peace with my Anglo-Saxon genetics.
But what if, instead of the woke agenda backing the gender studies mantra of becoming the sex you believe yourself to be, another agenda had emerged?
What if kids were told there were a number of races out there and some kids just don’t feel comfortable with the race “assigned to them at birth?”. When filling an a government form on ethnic background, why can’t I tick the box of the race I identify with??
In asking this question I anticipate opposition. I’m not just doing it to inflame argument, but to ask the question:
If it is foolish for me to expect others to refer to me (or Ali G) as black, despite my (temporary) rejection of my own ethnicity, why is the new cultural orthodoxy to modify the English language and pronouns to accommodate those who believe they were born in the wrong sex considered sensible?
