When I first heard about this a few days ago, I dismissed it as a fake news gimmick. I mean, who would be dumb enough to actually say something like this?
Turns out I was wrong. Jim Treacher reports:
Okay, let me try this: MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+.
That stands for: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and additional identities.
Again, that’s MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. I find it helps to go three letters at a time. Like when you’re giving your account number to the customer service guy, who says his name is Steve but he has an Indian accent.
The speaker there is named Leah Gazan. (Oops. There’s a warning sign right there.) Who is a member of [the] Canadian Parliament. She’s in the NDP, whatever that is.
There's more at the link.
Rick Moran adds:
MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ is an all-inclusive, all-encompassing, balls-to-the-wall, slam bang, wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am acronym for the totality of the gender bending, sexually "unique" population of Canada.
. . .
Budgeting for each and every identity, preference, and fantasy spirit in the MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ community would blow up the Canadian budget.
I fondly recall when sexual preference identities were simple: LGB and maybe T, XYZ, believe you me. It was easy. It was a simpler time then. We didn't have to worry about offending someone by using the wrong pronoun. We didn't have to worry about making some poor, disturbed "T" or "Q" explode in tears from being misgendered.
It would be so much easier (and we'd be less likely to offend) if the MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ "community" would just walk around with name tags identifying which gender they are, what their sexual identity is, and most importantly, what pronouns they prefer to be referred to.
Yes, that's a joke. No Nazi "Star of David" references, please.
Not that I'd use them. But since misgendering is going to be an Olympic sport in 2030, it would be helpful to know who we should insult.
Again, more at the link.
And yet . . . even when they come up with absolute howlers such as the acronym above . . . the LGBWTF crowd actually expect us to take them seriously. They (well, some of them, anyway) expect us to take the acronym seriously.
What are they smoking??? Whatever it is, where can I buy some? If I'm going to have to read, or listen to, or endure that sort of crap any longer, I'm going to need all the help I can get!
Oy, gevalt...

They demand to be taken seriously, and then when someone does, they demand yet more. It's never enough and never will be.
ReplyDeleteIf you've read any of Schlichter's "Kelly Turnbull" books you'll not be surprised at this "evolution." Those were supposed to be fiction, dang it.
I, too, would to know what it is that they are smoking. So I can avoid the f.. er, SNOT out of it.
ReplyDeleteThe sad part is that the topic under discussion--that is, the fact that Indian/native women get murdered or go missing at a truly alarming rate--is actually quite serious, but Ms. Gazan is discussing it in a completely unserious way. It's baffling and maddening.
ReplyDeleteNo one wants to point out that most of the missing and murdered First Nations women and girls were killed by relatives and other First Nations members. That would be something-ist. So the deaths and disappearances remain a mystery that needs federal funds to investigate and make right. (I have to follow Canadian news for my work.)

I've heard references in the US media to groups raising awareness of that.
DeleteUnfortunately many people don't understand the scale of abuse and violence among many (not all) indigenous groups.
The town I live in has a small Colony (their word, not mine); at the entrance there is a billboard with numerous sex offender names and pictures on it who live there. It's a notable percent of the population.
Sad...

NDP New Democratic Party. The political spectrum in Canada is pretty much "conservatives are moderate American leftists with a few mildly conservative views, liberals are radical American leftists, NDP are crazy American leftists, and Greens are to the left of that"
ReplyDeleteThe NDP are avowed Socialist pieces of shit. Nothing less. Every last one of their policies are intended to exterminate White Christian men after bleeding them dry financially. I grew up in BC when the NDP were in power - they were vindictive and petty to everyone who did not submit to their policies.
DeleteAlthough difficult to believe, the NDP are worse than Democrats.
lgbwtf is golden
ReplyDeleteConsider htis notice that I am stealing this.
NDP are the pretend socialists, pretty much the step sister of Justin Trudeau's equally fake communists. Best described as a combination of of an HOA Karen od an Obese blue haired University Student.
ReplyDeleteAmong other things, it's a projective test to see what stupid and humiliating things certain people are willing to do for the Revolution. People not already known to the Movement will probably get further and more personalized grooming.
ReplyDeleteI quit paying attention their silliness a long time ago. If you act batshit crazy, why should I care and put effort into you? Unless you get my personal attention as a person, I just don't care. If you do get my attention, please do it in a good way and not a bad way.
ReplyDeleteSounds to me they've been smoking their socks, and they're not all natural fiber either. Those polyester blends do a number not only on your brain but your lungs too.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't bother me. I'm a giraffe. (Yeah, right ...).
ReplyDeleteThey are becoming so absurd that they are disappearing up their own tail pipe.

Insanity like this exists, and is expanding, for a simple reason. Because we tolerate it. Stop tolerating it, start institutionalizing these wackos and it ends.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad, they are identified by their disease.
ReplyDeleteTXRed beat me to it. Remember what Ray said years ago?
ReplyDeleteSince they started going multi-lettered 10-15 years ago, I've always just used BLT - simple 3-letter acronym (for nothing in particular), easy to remember, and if you're hungry, you always know what to order from Denny's for lunch.
ReplyDeleteEvery letter they add is one less eff I give. Since I started at zero I'm now approaching -20, at which point I will get a free toaster.
ReplyDeleteThey're monetizing the hate at this point. Making fun of them is getting to be like getting Marlboro Miles. Collect 40,000 laughs and get the kayak!
When pronouncing it, even through it's not an official place name, a Welsh accent is best advised.
