Very recently (as in, no more than a week ago, if that long) Johns Hopkins University had an online glossary of LGBTQ terms/identities that defined “lesbian” as “a non-man attracted to non-men.” There seemed to be no awareness at all that some people — for instance, every sane person on Earth — might not like having ‘women’ literally erased from the definition.

Not surprisingly, there was uproar about this issue, with everyone from Nikki Haley to Martina Navratilova (not to mention J.K. Rowling) weighing in on the matter. Not surprisingly, Johns Hopkins had to withdraw its woman-negating definition. None of it was surprising … and yet, apparently, Johns Hopkins was surprised that their trendy woke horseshit update might draw some objections.

These are the elite. These are the people who are naturally entitled to set the standards, to make the decisions, to control everything for our own good. Because they’re naturally better than we are, smarter than we are, higher-class than we are, better-educated than we are, morally superior to us, because they’re the elite and we’re not. These are the people without enough fvcking common sense to recognize that women who are sexually attracted to women might not like having ‘women’ removed from the definition of the name for them.

It’s a good thing they’re always willing to tell us they’re our superiors. Otherwise, we would have no way of knowing. Or even suspecting. Because their words, and performance, provide no evidence whatsoever to support the claim.
