You think "dream ghosts told me I was both male and female" should be enough to qualify as a federally protected identity?
"The fatal flaw of all revolutionaries is that they know how to tear things down but don't have a f**king clue about how to build anything."

how is it functionally any different than “Jesus told me that all zygotes deserve a shot at life”?
It's not, both are ridiculous and have no place in the laws of a modern society.

If you subscribe to the idea that earth is hundreds of millions of years old (or more) and that the continents were once conjoined (Pangaea), ice ages have come and gone, etc., then certainly you would agree that the peoples the Anglo settlers stole this land from was someone else’s before them, and someone else’s before them, on and on for generations. We’re just the latest ones.

The insistence that anglo or European conquering represents a special case which must be endlessly obsessed over and is a unique mark of shame that no others share - rather than a shared tendency of all peoples (that have survived into the modern era at least) - is absurd. Every good religion needs its original sin, passion plays, etc. Wokeness certainly comes equipped with its own, and it must treat this as a special act of evil. Implicit in this is "noble savage" bullshit, and it treats nonwhites as innocent creatures incapable of guilt or shame or agency, rather than actual people.
And the two-spirit thing was made up by white people.

5 minutes on Google would show you that's demonstrably untrue
