GENDER PRONOUNS

PAT SAYS

I find all this new gender pronouns very confusing and often wonder if the tail – the uptight transgender extremists, is wagging the dog – us and society in general.

I have a long history of openness and ministry to the LGBT community and transgender people in particular.

I have accompanied a number of individuals on their journeys/ counselling and surgery as they change gender.

I will call anyone by the name they prefer – male, female or whatever.

If someone wants me to regard them as a he or she I will respectfully obliged.

Bit then they bring this issue up of gender being a continum with male and female at either end – the binaries.

And othere being son here in between and wanting to be referred to by pronouns.

But how are the rest of us to know, immediately and spontaneously what to call someone like this.

Do I really have to ask EVERYONE I meet what pronoun they want me to call them by?

And are people entitled to be offended if I innocently call someone who looks like a man – “he”?

Is all if this not POLITICAL CORRECTNESS gone mad?

Is it a small section of people trying to bully everyone else?

Just wondering?

11.32pm but what happens when the longer you ignore them, the more hurt and frustrated the victims get? You are in absolute cloud cuckoo land if you think that is a viable strategy to smother down very serious and outstanding issues in the Roman Catholic Church. What’s bad will get worse in my humble opinion. Irish Bishops seem to be too busy running around with their cronies & boyfriends in preference to working on genuine mediation and reconciliation to fix what’s going on in various Irish Diocese

Pat, your last two sentences express a majority view I believe. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS gone madly extreme. But we are in an age of human and sexual experimentation with children as young as 4/5/6 are being sexually and gender conditioned. All acrosd the world a vociferous group of extremists are shouting us down if we care question their ideology or philosophy.

Of 21 monks of Douai who are listed, 9 live outside the monastery doing other things, usually parish priests in diocesan parishes. Also, they are a very white and grey community, looking like 80 per cent of them are well in to their 70s. I doubt if they have much of a future for the new abbot to preside over. The various blurbs make it sound as though it is a very nice and civilised existence that they lead, doing a bit of beekeeping, publishing a journal, doing a bit of praying and saying the odd mass. One monk is listed as having the responsibility of looking after their cars ! Very important for a community that is more out of the monastery than in it.

a view to exploit and problematize these interactions. They view society
as being a power struggle between different identity groups, values,

First of all Pat what needs to be borne in mind is much of this identification mantra is coming from a history of misfortune. For centuries LGBTQ people have been harassed, attacked, murdered, forced to endure ‘medical’ treatments and otherwise have had their lives made utterly miserable. In some backward countries like Russia, Hungary etc it’s still being done. LGBTQ people have now managed to get concessions in the west and are now pressing this home. It is entirely understandable and i believe right.
There is certainly an abundance of LGBTQ stuff in the media these days but this will eventually settle down. Liberal media like the BBC etc are bringing this stuff to notice as it needs to be noticed and needs to become normal and accepted. When it becomes normal and accepted it will fade into the background as does simply being straight. But for now this kind of stuff -like anti racism and anti bullying – needs to be hammered home. Ireland, like anywhere else, has plenty of right-wing uncultured cavemen and women and if they need to be force fed reality then so be it. The same people had no problem force feeding Jesus, paedophilia, murder, laundries, selling children to Americans etc so I think schooling them in basic human rights and manners is hardly an onerous ask.
Personally apart from the offence to the English language I have no issue with these pronouns being used at all and indeed if someone asked me to use them in reference I would have no issue with it. Indeed in my last job we had a woman converting to a man and we were all asked politely to refer to her as ‘him’ from now on. No issue at all there, then again the lowest education in that employer was a degree. Funny how smart people have no issue with this but the troglodytes do.

One of the great opponents of this new secual/gender ideology is the Canadian Psychologist, Jordan Petersen. He us a brilliant thinker and I advise all to refer to him on his many You Tube videos. His books are likewise fascinating for their deep intellectual thinking. The culture of “I can be who I want to be” is one that require a careful monitoring. A friend told me about her daughter’s friend in class who kept on saying she was a “boy” and her parents were very concerned that she should be allowed to follow her beliefs. Werebtelking about 12 year olds!! This young girl eventually got through the “phase” and did not provide with life altering medical procedures. She was influenced by too many “infkyencers” on magazines and social media who present their ideals. These Iinfluencers are not professionally qualified in any way to guide children at impressionable ages. We should not experiment with children’s sexual identity or gender. There are very genuine cases if men and women who suffer profoundly from sexual/gender identity and seek professional help. I understand these situations but the multi sexual and gender types we are creating is very confusing for every one and I believe we need to stop this dangerous experimenting with the sexual/gender agenda. Are we at a stage where we now have to ask everyone we meet “what she I call you?” / “Which is your preferred pronoun?”… If a man comes to me, it will be “he” or “his” and a woman, “she” or “hers”..Nothing more, nothing less. Otherwise we’re in nightmare territory.

Have you not got a contact for pat to message him personally instead of asking here ?

Do you really thimk bill is going to comment for a while, not after the attacking he got, but more so from pats condescending email and publicly humiliating him. You won’t hear from bill for a while, be lucky if he comes back at all when he calms down but then again that was pats design for the email.

I do think a lot of people did believe he was a wealthy man jetting off here and there and were taken in by what he said. Some may have been distressed by his words.

6.50pm. I agree. Lovely sentiment from Pat in his email to his good friend Bill, but it shouldn’t have been shared.. Hope Bill is doing ok.

It has been fairly obvious for some months that WM is ill. The ranting and raving, high life style and not working. PB has been very tolerant, patient and helpful even to the point of accommodating him in the Larne oratory. Until he stops the abuse, admits he has a problem and seeks help he is a lost cause. PB, friends and family can only do so much.

Gangland I’m sorry now, I think slot of intelligent readers on here established that , and called on it and ganged up on. I think he is aware he has a mental health issue, he is well able to take a debate but as soon as he’s mental health was mentioned he got defensive, I know him or follow him or he’s comments but I saw that day, the man is living in a fucking tent, let it go , you don’t kick someone when they are down. Let it go you prick !pat should not have approved your comment he made he’s point Wednesday night. End of.

I absolutely agree G. Lad.
I commented so several months ago when, to me anyway, his comments clearly showed his deep rooted problems. Yet +Pat , probably out of naive generosity, continued to indulge him.
There’s a time Pat for saying ‘enough is enough’. Don’t allow what used be an interesting blogsite to continue to degrade into quasi infantile inconsequential oblivion. You’ve allowed far too much of that in a misguided allowance of free speech.
I only bother checking it on Sundays now. It continues to become even more inconsequential.

The Roman Catholic Church worldwide is infamous for protecting identities of child molesters and deviant clerics & church members but the anonymous clergy and their professional cover up merchants posting here tear strips off William Mulvihill and the 2 Ennis women targetted by opportunist priest on this blog and elsewhere on a daily basis. Is it no wonder they on medication. Vile and toxic church abusers.
