State Department E-Mail System Begins Randomly Assigning Pronouns

 From Elliott Management-backed (Paul Singer) Washington Free Beacon, May 18:

Biden State Department Slaps Pronouns on Emails and Misgenders Staff
'Men are being identified as women and women as men. It's ridiculous'

The State Department says a "pronoun glitch" is to blame for a change in the email system that temporarily assigned random and often incorrect gender pronouns to employees, according to internal emails reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

State Department employees reported seeing the change earlier on Thursday, when emails from colleagues suddenly began to include random pronouns, like, "She/her/hers" and "He/Him/His" in the "from" line. The pronouns appear to have been randomly assigned, with men being given female pronouns and vice versa, according to several emails viewed by the Free Beacon. No reports of gender-neutral pronouns attached to email have emerged.

The pronouns appeared just a day after the State Department publicly celebrated "Interphobia Awareness Day,"  just one of the department’s many initiatives to promote gender inclusivity. Interphobia is the prejudice against those who say they are intersex, which means bodies that "fall outside the strict male/female binary," according to Planned Parenthood....

Just wait until some State Department staffer at the American Embassy in Paris writes home to the mother ship about their visit to the Paris Zoological Park:
"The blob is real: Paris zoo showcases self-healing organism with 720 sexes"
I smell a pronoun fight.

You could have 26 different alphabets with 26 different letters and still not have enough descriptors for all the sexes.


From United Press International:
The star attraction at a zoo in Paris defies expectation. It looks like a fungus, but it acts like an animal. Technically, the organism known as the "blob," is neither. It also doesn't belong in the plant or bacteria kingdoms.

The strange organism is a slime mold, a type of protist, but the creature defies both classification and expectations. Though the blob is without a brain, it can solve problems. It has no eyes or mouth, but the blob can find and digest food. If it's cut in half, the blob quickly repairs itself.

This particular slime mold, a bright yellow species named Physarum polycephalum, was first discovered in Texas in 1973, according to CNN.

Several decades later, scientists published research showing the blob can learn to avoid toxic substances and recall their learned behavior as long as 12 months later. And when they fuse with other molds, the knowledge of their chemical adversaries gets shared.

Scientists at the Paris Zoological Park, where the blob is currently on display, suggest the organism can make it's way through mazes and solve basic problems....MORE, including video
