I'm not asking you to enforce anything in referring to that foppish faux-academic bullshit, and I doubt it will ever come up. But I hope you understand why I see it as equivalent to "Ni66er Theory."

Because it is.

The assertion that the word has been "reclaimed" is bullshit. It is as I said; just another extension into offending the "str8s." Except it backfired and now a lot of gay people and hangers-on like the crossdressers and the gender cosplayers are stupidly calling themselves defectives.

Count me out.

And while we're at it, count me out of

* "they" for one person

* target and impact as verbs

* invite and ask as nouns

* unique to mean unusual

* reach out to mean contact or email (verbs)

* moving forward to mean proceed

* share to mean say

And all the rest I can't think of right now because I almost went into a coma this morning
