…Jeopardy multi-champion Amy Schneider. It was not known (but was increasingly suspected) that what appeared to be a woman had, in fact, been born male.

I strongly suspected it after the 3rd or 4th episode, so I went online and verified. Amy’s facial expressions while thinking or betting were the giveaway.

The company I work for has asked us to list our pronouns in our profile at work. I was initially hesitant to as I didn’t want to join in the virtue signalling.

However, I have found it useful since our company is so multinational so many times the name is a foreign name to me and I do not know whether it is a man’s name or a woman’s – so listing your pronouns help. Of course, that was not their original reason for asking us to list pronouns; they were just virtue signalling.

I watched all of it, it was interesting and worth my time, and did present all sides.

I had no idea on Kinsee:

I’d rather be honest than polite. Their feelings are not my concern.

Remember, Twitter is in San Francisco. People there swim in a leftist sea. Does a fish recognize water? Undoubtedly, whoever(s) wanted to suppress this video was positive they were doing the right thing and heard no dissenting voices, either at work or among their social circles. Trying to change this culture is not going to be easy. Convincing these people that they aren’t on the side of righteousness may not be possible.
Short term solution: coercion. Fire a few – pour encourager les autres and all that.
Long term solution: move the hell out of California.

@Aggie – here is a vitally-important distinction between being polite and gracious about giving something, and being coerced into turning it over on command.

Bingo. Particularly, in this case, finding the coercers organized into an arrogant mob, who insist on Their Way or the highway, and have evolved grim successes as enforcers.

“why not be polite and call someone what he or she – or they – want?”

Because as it turns out, there is a vitally-important distinction between being polite and gracious about giving something, and being coerced into turning it over on command. Only one is voluntary, the other is not.

Doing things voluntarily, out of the goodness of one’s heart, inspires other to reciprocate – and there is also a natural expectation that, when I’m being polite and gracious, that you’re going to be, also. This implicitly-agreed mutual respect is the important building block of a high-trust society.

We can also see what coercion brings, now, too. For those of us that care to see. They don’t call it the Golden Rule for nothing.
