Navy Training Sailors to Announce Their Pronouns, Claim It Will Create a ‘Safe Space’
By Chris Menahan
The US Navy is training sailors to announce their pronouns at the beginning of new interactions to create a “safe space” and avoid “misgendering” people with gender identity issues.
From the Free Beacon, “PRIDE MONTH: Here’s How the Navy Is Training Sailors on Proper Gender Pronouns”:
“Hi! My name is Jony, and I use he/him pronouns,” Naval Undersea Warfare Center engineer Jony Rozon, who sports a rainbow-colored t-shirt, states in the video’s opening.
The official training video is meant to emphasize “the importance of using correct pronouns as well as polite etiquette when you may not be sure of someone’s pronouns,” according to the Navy, which late last month published the video online. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service touts the video as an “official U.S. Navy video” posted by Air Force staff sergeant John Vannucci.
The video is the latest bid by the military to foster a more sensitive environment for its members and staff. The Army mandates similar gender identity training and trains officers on when to offer subordinates gender-transition surgery, the Washington Free Beacon reported in March. These programs are part of a larger push by the Biden administration to make the military more welcoming to transgender individuals.
The nearly four-minute Navy video emphasizes how members can create “a safe space” for their colleagues by using “inclusive language” that signals they are “allies” who “accept everybody.” Service members must take these steps to ensure they do not “misgender someone.” The Navy also warns staff against pressuring an individual to disclose his or her gender pronouns, saying that colleagues may still be in “the process of discovery” and not yet ready to provide this information.
“A pronoun is how we identify ourselves apart from our name, and it’s also how people refer to us in conversations,” notes engineer Conchy Vasquez, who hosts the video along with Rozon.
“Using the right pronouns is a really simple way to affirm someone’s identity. It is a signal of acceptance and respect,” adds Rozon.
Immediately after taking office, Biden signed an executive order to offer free sex changes to all servicemembers and veterans.
At the same time that they’re training soldiers and sailors to use “proper” pronouns to “signal of acceptance and respect” of LGBTBBQ people, they’re simultaneously training their mostly-white recruits and servicemembers that white people are inherently evil.
“Gender” is a “spectrum” but “whiteness” is pure evil.
