TRUMP: “I will be retiring the name ‘Crooked’ from Hillary Clinton.. so we can use the name for Joe Biden — he’ll be known from now on as ‘Crooked Joe Biden’.. because there’s never been anyone in the history of American politics so crooked or dishonest.” pic.twitter.com/2hDNCHb5ye

Examples of genders include male, female, transgender, cisgender, and gender non-conforming.

We live in a world where gender identity is increasingly considered a cultural construct and fluid concept.

And in fact, if we move beyond a eurocentric view of gender, cultural ideas about diversity of genders has existed across cultures for as long as humans have existed. From two-spirit people in Native America to Whakawahine in Maori culture, multiple gender constructs span the ages.

Below is an A to Z list of genders and words to describe gender identity.

Note: This article is not a presentation of my personal or political viewpoint. In sociology courses, we present multiple perspectives on social issues and have our students think critically about them – social constructionism is one sociological perspective among many that are presented to students in order for them to engage in critical debate and discussion. For example, in class, we also discuss the functionalist perspective that challenges the social constructivist perspectives found in this article.

How Many Genders Are There?

There are at least 80 ways to describe gender. That’s not to say there are 80 different genders, but there are at least 80 different cultural terms to describe gender constructs.

The list below is a collection of terms to refer to different gender identifications, but it is not a comprehensive list. More could be added from various other cultures around the world.

Will public service applicants in Jacindaland soon be required to pass an exam on these?

Did Fox News, even in their worst nightmares, expect their post-Tucker ratings collapse to be this bad?

And on related matters, here is comment about the Dominion Voting Machines lawsuit against Fox News (from accusations by Fox News hosts of Democrat Party vote rigging) given by some analysts as a big factor in this:

“This goes much deeper than most people know. The Fox News settlement for $787 million is being spun as a confession of guilt as if their reporting or the statements of their guests were ‘misinformation’ or ‘lies’ about the 2020 stolen election.

“Everything Fox News reported, or was stated live on-air by guests about Dominion Voting Machines and Smartmatic software was true. The settlement now appears to be entirely staged to get them to deny what they reported so that normie Americans who don’t yet know their national elections are a farcical arrangement can say, ‘Yeah, I knew Fox News was peddling another right-wing conspiracy.’

“In the 2020 election, Dominion voting machines were connected to the Internet. That’s all that is required to rig them and manipulate voting results. That’s it.

“The most common software used in Dominion machines is Smartmatic or an associated derivative. Dominion’s user guides offer a play-by-play on how they can be controlled and their data altered from halfway around the world.

“Cybersecurity expert Phil Waldron, a retired Army colonel, revealed just after the 2020 election that Dominion Voting Systems machines were, in fact, connected to the Internet and transmitting data to a CIA hub in Frankfurt, Germany.

“The U.S. has a substantial military and intelligence presence in and around the Frankfurt area, including at least 40,000 active duty personnel at any given time.

“Waldron’s testimony in Arizona just after the election: ‘My team went back through the user manual and looked at all the instances where in the user’s manual it tells operators to connect the ethernet cords to the router, and it is, the systems are connected to the internet.’

“Waldron and his team determined after looking at the spirographs on the Dominion network on Election Day that there was ‘increased web traffic’ proving that the machines were communicating without outside sources.

“Why didn’t Fox News produce Waldron and dozens of other witnesses including poll workers in Detroit’s Wayne and Pheonix’s Maricopa County to testify in Fox News’ defense against the Dominion “defamation” lawsuit?

“The defamation suit’s process of discovery was aimed at digging into Fox News company dirt. Doesn’t the first amendment free press clause make defamation suits difficult in the U.S. compared to other countries and why was the suit focused on Fox News and not Dominion’s rigged machines?

“Enter disgruntled employee Abby Grossberg, a former employee of CNN, and CBS News. Grossberg suddenly switched teams and went to work for Fox News in 2017 as an assistant producer for Maria Bartiromo’s show.

“In 2020, when the so-called ‘defamation’ occurred she was working for Bartiromo but sometime last year went to work for the top-rated Fox News show Tucker Carlson Tonight as a booker and producer.

“Grossberg initially testified in defense of her employer Fox News last August in the Dominion case.

“And then someone got to her.

“And her story changed.

“She claimed that Fox’s in-house litigation team coerced her into false testimony under deposition for the Dominion case and sought to correct her testimony. Fox News claimed this compromised their defense by revealing their in-house case strategy and that she was violating employee-employer legal privilege.

“The exact timeline of events is murky, but Grossberg was put on administrative leave and at some point she hired a wrongful termination attorney and filed suit against Fox News and Tucker Carlson Tonight producers claiming ‘discrimination’ and harassment in the workplace including ‘misogyny and anti-semitism.’ Because of course, the show preferred by white supremacist right-wing conspiracy theorists would be full of raging misogynists and anti-semites.”

In the words of Alanis Morissette, ‘Isn’t it ironic?’

by Eva Vlaardingerbroek

It’s not often that regional ballots in the Netherlands capture the attention of the international media. But last month that is exactly what happened. On 15 March, the so-called ‘provincial elections’ were held. Although technically these are regional, they also indirectly determine the composition of the Dutch senate – and, if the ruling parties lose their majority there, the chances of being able to pass legislation become very slim.

It’s part of a larger conflict between the authoritarian green agenda and the silent majority paying for it all

This time, however, the stakes were higher than ever – because, as incredible as it may sound, the Dutch government has turned against one of the most lucrative, efficient and remarkable groups in our society: the farmers.

The government, a four-party coalition led by Prime Minister Mark Rutte and his People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), has decided that 30 per cent of all cattle farms need to be closed by 2030 in order to halve nitrogen emissions – which it says pose a threat to the Dutch environment, as protected under the European Union’s ‘Natura 2000’ regulations. Apparently we have a ‘nitrogen crisis’ because the gas causes certain plants to die or grow in areas where EU bureaucrats have decided that they shouldn’t. 

Dutch farmers will be forced to either sell their land to the state now or face expropriation later. If the destruction of Holland’s farming industry is carried out in the way the government plans, there will also be consequences for the world’s food supply. Although we are not a big country, we are the second largest exporter of agricultural products in the world, after the US. It’s a remarkable position to hold, but if it’s up to our leaders we won’t have that title much longer.

The attack on farmers is part of a larger conflict between the authoritarian green agenda being pushed by our government and the silent majority paying for it all, but whose opinion is never asked. Dutch voters – many of whom aren’t usually overly political, but who understand that our farmers are feeding our nation and the rest of the world – are growing tired of globalists’ policies to ‘save the planet’ with synthetic meat, edible insects, solar panels and wind turbine parks.

And so on 15 March, the elections resulted in a landslide victory for the BoerBurgerBeweging party (BBB) – which translates as ‘the Farmer-Citizen Movement’. The BBB won 17 out of 75 seats, making it the largest party in the senate. Rutte’s VVD won only ten. It was an unprecedented result, given that this was the first time the BBB was running for senate seats. It was also, in words of the party’s founder and leader, Caroline van der Plas, a ‘big fat middle finger’ to the establishment. 

Van der Plas is an unusual figure in the Dutch political landscape. A journalist and former member of the Christian Democrats, she frequently criticised her old party for not doing enough to represent the interests of the agricultural sector and the countryside. Three years ago she founded the BBB after tens of thousands of farmers protested in the Hague in response to the Rutte government’s announcement of its environmental plans. She’s currently the party’s only MP in the House of Representatives after winning her seat during the 2021 general elections – and has gained such large support for her insurgent party in a relatively short time because of her ability to discuss difficult topics in a down-to-earth way. She is rarely fazed by her opponents.

Boy is now “Person who produces sperm”

Girl is now “Person who produces eggs”

The below meme is one we’ve posted a couple of times over the last few years, and while it still holds true, the word “Most” has to be added at the start as there are a small but significant number who have demontrated they are racist — they include the two present Maori Party MPs, Labour MP Willie Jackson, and several activists who regularly make the news.

If these weren’t so intent on Maorication of everything with no respect for other people’s ethnicities and cultures (not just Europeans) things would be much more harmonious and beneficial.
