  • The Virginia house GOP is threatening to do away with gendered titles. House members would be called "delegate" instead.

    https://wtop.com/virginia/2017/11/af...ndered-titles/

    Is this supposed to be a punishment?

      Yes. We're dragging them, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century and the "Party of Family Values" doesn't like it one bit.

        I thought if it as an accommodation. I'd have asked Del. elect Roem how she'd like to be addressed and go with it.

        But I'm on the other side of the river and while it's interesting, I'm not losing sleep over it.

          LOL. You can spin this however you want, but no - the Virginia GOP knows they are on the losing side of history. If Danica Roem was born female, or if they felt she was legitimately female, they would not suddenly be pushing for this change. It's a cop-out to avoid the issue, while they hope she loses the next election so she goes away, and they can stop worrying about it.

            Want to call everyone "Citizen"? The French tried that.

            Come to think about it, the US Senate has always used Senator when addressing a member, so there is precedent.

            One of our members is thinking (very close) of transitioning from male to female. Whatever she wants to be called is fine with me. I'm not harmed by it. If I started calling her derogatory names, then I'm harming her and need to be called out.

                      The Thumpers and the Republicans will always hate education. It is their mortal enemy. They thrive on a population's ignorance. They are bacterial infections; information and critical thinking are antibiotics.

                              2000 Redux: the GOP steals another election.

                              No pride, no civic virtue, no shame. They truly are the party of Pieces of Sh-t and these f-cks cannot win without cheating.

                              There is not a single Republican -- Member or voter -- remaining with a shred of dignity. They have become like their donors: greedy, narcissistic sociopaths.

                                Mrs. burd's family are from NE Oklahoma. Keee ryst. Needless to say, I don't talk politics or religion at family gatherings. Fishin, trucks, tools, food. Real good people, though, for all that. That is what is still sometimes hard for me to get square with.
