White House Stops Responding to "Journalists" With Pronouns In Their Email Signature Lines

This is a solid heuristic for weeding out the nonsense. Nonsense pronouns means nonsense questions and nonsense hit pieces.

The Trump White House has begun declining to respond to media requests from reporters who include gender pronouns in their email signatures. The move aligns with the administration's broader rejection of what it calls "gender ideology" in the federal government.

Key Details:

"As a matter of policy, we do not respond to reporters with pronouns in their bios," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote in an email to a New York Times reporter asking about climate research.

Katie Miller, a senior adviser at the Department of Government Efficiency, echoed that approach in a separate exchange, telling another Times journalist, "I don't respond to people who use pronouns in their signatures as it shows they ignore scientific realities and therefore ignore facts."

The policy reflects a broader Trump administration stance that has barred federal employees from listing preferred pronouns in government emails and cracked down on DEI-related practices across agencies.

JK Rowling tweeted: "Oh look, another of those things that never happen has happened again."

John Oliver embarrassed himself, as usual, this time by asserting that we can't ban boys from competing with girls in sports because we haven't done enough scientific studies yet to establish that boys have any physical advantages over girls.

John Oliver also moves the goalposts: He seems to concede that yeah, probably, trans "girls" may have some advantages over actual girls (though he also claims they have some disadvantages -- citation needed).

But he says that even if trans "girls" have some advantages, we can't ban them, because we haven't conducted enough rigorous Science (TM) studies to show how great an advantage they have.

You Bigots also can't say that Biden shows signs of dementia because The Science (TM) hasn't proven what is plainly obvious yet.

Follow the Science, Bigots.

Notice that he claims that trans "girls" have some disadvantages in sports without any "studies" proving this, but when it comes to speaking the obvious truth that trans "girls" do have advantages over real girls, he says, no, you can't say that until we have at least six to ten gold-plated n=10,000 studies about the issue.

Weird how lefties always spout leftwing dogma without any science or evidence to back it up, but when you say two words, they tell you to shut up until "The Science (TM)" is finished Sciencing.

This is a standard dishonest leftwing tactic: they claim that whenever there isn't enough evidence to call an issue one way or another, then we must assume that the left-wing position is correct.

And then they claim that cases where there is no doubt whatsoever, like whether boys are stronger than girls and have greater lung capacity and, oh yeah, don't have thin necks which are prone to being broken, are filled with doubt, so we must default to the "rule" that whenever an issue is in doubt, we must defer to left-wing claims.

Why not defer to right-wing claims?

Shut up, Bigot. That's why.

He also mocked Payton McNabb, the girl who suffered permanent brain damage and partial paralysis due to having her face spiked in by a boy whose advantage in strength and power still hasn't been sufficiently proven by The Science (TM).
