Demystify concrete. Detoxify retrospectives. Decolonize gender.
To a normal person? All two-word phrases that mean absolutely zilch. Like alphabet soup in a blender. Or a speech by Kamala Harris. Just a whole bunch of sounds that effectively communicate nothing at all.
And then we have this leftist, who believes “decolonizing gender” is a real thing - and that she’s doing it by butchering the English language and adopting “they/them” pronouns.
Lily Gladstone, an actress you’ve probably never heard of who stars in Netflix’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” says she goes by both “her/hers” and “they/them” because typical gender pronouns reinforce "colonial structures." Or something.
“When I'm in a group of ladies, I know that I'm a little bit different,” Gladstone told People in a recent interview. “When I'm in a group of men, I don't feel like a man. I don't feel [masculine] at all. I feel probably more feminine when I'm around other men.”
Which most of us would just call normal life. But this is a liberal actress in Hollywood who has to carve out some bizarre niche for attention or risk fading into even more obscurity. So instead of just being a woman, Gladstone says she uses “they/them” pronouns - typically used in the English language to denote the plural - to describe her singular self. Why? Because that’s how the Native Americans did it, until white folks showed up and brought their cholera and notions about the gender binary.

“In most Native languages, most Indigenous languages, Blackfeet included, there are no gendered pronouns. There is no he/she, there's only they,” said Gladstone, who is herself Native American. She went on to say that a person's gender is often alluded to in their actual name, but that some Native Americans had names with gender identifiers that didn't correlate to their sex.
Now, I’m no expert on Native American linguistics, but my guess would be that plenty of indigenous dialects had ways of differentiating between males and females. I’m also fairly certain that regardless of how they communicated that concept verbally, Native tribes understood the innate difference between men and women, as did the vast majority of cultures before Western leftists got spoiled with things like electricity and indoor plumbing and had to invent new problems to whine about.
But to Gladstone, intentionally misusing the term “they” to identify herself is both a way of nodding to her own weirdness around other women (which amounts to a hill of beans in terms of determining your actual gender, but moving on), as well as sticking it to whitey and his antiquated European ideas about, you know, men who have penises and women who don't.
Because, as we all know, white people invented biological gender. Big bad oppressors and all that. Before Columbus and his ilk showed up, everyone was content as amorphous, genderless blobs who just went about smushing their undefined parts together and hoping for the best.
Lord spare us from fools and attention whores.
