Leave it to liberals to create a new vocabulary for American English speakers. Words are transformed into how liberals would like them to be understood. In the liberal mentality, the word “discrimination”, is used as something bad, which we all must be required to detest.
One example (out of thousands) is the transgender person who calls opposition to taxpayer funding of sex change surgery >> “discrimination”. She (actually he) claims that this opposition is unacceptable, because it’s “discrimination”. This is ridiculous “logic”.
According to this so-called “logic”, it would be unacceptable to discriminate between free people, and criminals kept in prisons. It would be unacceptable to discriminate between 2 different routes of travel to a supermarket. It would be unacceptable to discriminate between 2 different color shirts to wear in the morning. Or to discriminate between having a chicken or turkey sandwhich.
Obviously it’s WHAT we discriminate about that makes the discrimination acceptable or unacceptable. Discrimination, in and of itself, is neither good nor bad.
In the case of the proposal for taxpayer funding of transgender surgery, this is beyond preposterous. When the VA doesn’t even pay for dental care for some veterans with service-connected disabilities, the notion of paying for some deranged sex surgery, should NOT even be on the table.
