It would seem we would be much wiser to pump all the oil we can and thus take the edge off of Russia's oil embargo.

yes and it would immediately take an edge off of both the inflation and recession issues we have here . It is a no brainer . But POTUS has no brain.

As I have said before, when people can be persuaded that there are many genders, then they are setup to believe virtually anything.

It's NOT "many genders." There are still only two genders, male and female.

Then I'm glad to see you have not fallen for this lunacy. New York City, on the other hand, has embraced it with great enthusiasm and now requires all businesses to join in.

Mayor Bill de Blasio's office last week released a list of 31 genders approved by the New York City Commission on Human Rights, The Washington Free Beacon reports...The 31 genders listed include "drag king," "drag queen," "butch," "femme queen," "gender fluid," "gender blender," "gender gifted," "gender bender," and "femme person of transgender experience."

It is just beyond imagining that there are people who actually consider "gender bender" to be a legitimate gender.

Those all still boil down to two genders. The word "gender" is being misused. Those are descriptions, word pictures if you will, riffs, variations -- for TWO genders, are NOT genders themselves.

Start a new thread. (Ask Ben for help, if necessary.) Let's not hijack Tom's.

Why would I need Ben's help to start a new thread?

You need to call the mayor's office and explain that to him. Their handout says, "One's internal, deeply-held sense of one’s gender as male, female, or something else entirely."

I'll let you argue it with his office. I am genuinely glad to see you have not gone there.

To transfer what we've posted so far?

No need. I think we are finished as we both agree that there are only two genders.

No time for such triviality in the war zone . Both men and women in the conflict fire weapons ,bleed, and die for their country .
