The language we speak does in many ways affect the way in which we think.  For example, when using many of the world's languages, I must think about the gender of every object... or, in German, the third state of neuter.  Enter the Social Justice Warriors (SJW), who imagine that they are fighting bigotry by practicing an even greater bigotry: Defining who someone is by the constellation of identifiers the SJW approve.  So my race, my ethnicity, my disabilities, and any other things the SJW have chosen to classify as "markers" combine to define who I am, according to the SJW.  The SJW then propose to do away entirely with the English word Man (and derivatives, and with the pronouns associated with Men) and replace them with a detailed taxonomy to describe the large number of "genders" resulting when adopting this process of defining people by these constellations of "markers".  Because I was born male, grew up as a boy, and finally attained manhood with all of its obligations, I am now instructed by the SJW to refer to myself as a "cis-male", which now compels me to be aware of and constantly talk about people who are confused about their sexuality all the time.

I reject all of this bullshit for several reasons.  Firstly, I make my living with my brain and refuse to permit the SJW to invade my thought processes with their ideology.  Secondly, I have no problem with transgender people and treat them as exactly what they present before me; I believe this is as accepting as anyone can be.  I refuse to adopt a vocabulary requiring me to constantly think about how someone came to present as they do; in fact it is none of my business unless they wish to get in bed with me.  Thirdly, I believe that determining who someone is by his or her or its classifications and markers is the very definition of bigotry, is it not, and therefore an act of consummate hypocrisy on the part of the SJW who insist they are bigotry-phobic?

To me people are defined by what they do during their short time of life.  And it is indeed a very short time.  The only thing of real value people possess is a finite and unknown amount of precious, irreplaceable lifespan.  Why would any sane person wish to expend this finite resource telling other people what to do, how to live, when and how to breathe, and in this case how to speak and think, rather than actually doing something good and useful?

Cultural Appropriation

If "cultural appropriation" is to be forbidden us by the mind police, then damn it let's be consistent and inclusive about it.

Soap appears to have been a Babylonian invention more than 4000 years ago.  Among people living on earth, the inhabitants of Iraq are therefore entitled to wash their bodies, clothing, dishes and so on with soap.  Anyone else who lacks Babylonian roots is sinning by Cultural Appropriation and should be using sand or perhaps lilac blossoms instead.

On that subject, toilet paper was invented by Joseph Gayetty of the United States in 1857.  The rest of the world may wipe its asses with its left hand or commit the Sin of Cultural Appropriation.  Leaves might work as well, or the pages from old telephone books or printed catalogs if you can find one.  If all else fails, the pages of books written by the Mind Police themselves could come in handy.

The internal combustion engine is an invention of Europeans and Americans.  Those of other cultures sin by riding automobiles or motorcycles, with the possible exception of those rich enough to drive Teslas.  These appropriators should walk or ride bicycles except that bicycles are also a European invention, so get out there and hoof it, the rest of you.

Antibiotics are an European and American invention.  Those of other cultures sin by trying to stay alive through cultural appropriation.

Electronic digital computers are an European and American invention.  Those of other cultures may use the Abacus if they are Chinese, but they may not use sliderules because these too are European inventions.  And what do we say about Egyptian Music Videos?

I find it offensively stupid that the mind police (those who attempt to control thought through controlling language and other forms of self expression) have convinced presumptively intelligent, or at least "educated", people such as college faculty members that it is somehow evil for me to make a dough of masa flour, press it into a tortilla, and throw it in a frying pan to make and subsequently eat my very own taco on the grounds that such an act is "Cultural Appropriation", when people from all the third world shit holes on this planet are perfectly golden when appropriating all the civilization enhancing inventions of Western Culture.

The consistent application of this particular form of Political Correctness would, incidentally, implement and enforce a real, rather than imagined, form of  Western Culture Privilege.
