Saying mom and dad is bad in the AF

Quote
"Some families are headed by single parents, grandparents, foster parents, two moms, two dads, etc.: consider ‘parent or caregiver’ instead of ‘mom and dad,'" the presentation states. "Use words that include all genders​: ‘Folks’ or ‘Y’all’ instead of ‘guys’; ‘partner’ vs. ‘boyfriend or girlfriend.’"

Quote
"Not ‘Colorblind’ or ‘I don’t see color,’ but Color Conscious," it adds. "We see Color/Patterns AND VALUE people for their uniqueness."

And if this stresses you

Quote
The diversity and inclusion (D&I) training also includes an exercise asking cadets to separate into small groups and write down as many "G-Animals," or animals that start with the letter "G," that they can think of in one minute’s time.

So gender-blind, but racist color-concious. Yay.

Most people didn't realize that sanctioning same-sex "marriage" was the first step to erasing gender.

Now fetal heartbeats are just made-up, because the patriarchy controls the ultrasound industry, or something.

I can understand* the rest of it as "diversity" but what's up with the "g-animals" exercise? 

Not agree with, but understand.

Air Force Academy has a new fellowship.

Quote
"If you are a cisgender man, this program isn’t for you."

Quote
"If you are a cisgender woman, a transgender woman, non-binary, agender, bigender, two-spirit, demigender, genderfluid, genderqueer, or another form of gender minority, this program is for you," the application states. "If you are a cisgender man, this program isn’t for you... but we encourage you to check out our spinoff programs, the Patti Grace Smith Fellowship and the Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship Program."

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/air-force-academy-promotes-fellowship-bans-cisgender-men-this-program-isnt-for-you

I always knew the Air Force was a little "different" from the other real services but this is a whole new level. I would imagine this is also going on, or at least being looked at in the other service academies. Afterall, the troops need role models.  [barf]

The Chinese air force is worried - they're wailing in fear and terror at the prospect of facing our future USAF.

Of course, the wailing is in Chinese, which to us, sounds a lot like "HA HA HA HA HA"

The Chinese have brought back the old Stuka. But instead of the siren just wailing they've mmodfiled it to call out the wrong pronouns as it dives. Word is the Pentagon and the WH are already talking complete and total surrender.

More on those fake fetal heartbeats.

I expect we will soon see explanations of how pale penis people are responsible for women being the only people with wombs. Somehow there is a White Male conspiracy involved with anything that displeases a Leftist.

Now Latinx is suddenly not Inclusive enough because.....

Quote
If a term is truly inclusive, it gives equitable weight to vastly diverse experiences and knowledge; it is not meant to be a blanket identity.

Women of color, in general, are severely underrepresented in leadership positions and STEM fields. Using "Latinx" for women further obscures their contributions and identity. I have even seen some academics try to get around the nebulous nature of Latinx by writing "Latinx mothers" or "Latinx women" instead of "Latinas."

It's like watching a dog chase it's tail watching them trying not to offend each other.

I was actually thinking it's like a dog chasing its tail, catching its tail, and biting its tail hard enough that it hurts itself. And then chases its tail all over again to catch it and punish it for hurting itself...

It reminds me of what Kira Davis says about "people of color." She doesn't like blacks being lumped in with other minorities, as if all non-white groups have the same history, and experience.

It's almost as if the Left's hyperfocus on race was divisive and racist. Whoda thunk?

That loon is a screaming example of autogynephilia.

Woah!  Looks like I may be wrong...  There is a rumor that this teacher is actually trolling the school system... maybe trying to get fired so he can sue...

Saw some articles popping up with accusations this guy was some how cheating in chess tournaments in a way no one has figured out. Now one player say he has figured it out, says he's cheating with vibrating anal beads and refuses to play against him.

Chess
Anal Beads
Now that's two things I thought I would ever see mentioned in the same sentence.

'FIDE is prepared to task its Fair Play commission with a thorough investigation of the incident,' Dvorkovich said.

The chess body boss said further evidence would be needed before any such probe could begin.

If they used a probe, they would find further evidence.  =)

I have to agree with one of the comments: If we actually adopted this stupid word salad language, talking and reading would be simply exhausting.
