This argument isn't about whether a 90-year-old woman should still be volunteering or not. The woman sounds extremely competent, more than Biden.

The left just will not stop with this bull***** I hope this organization is absolutely shamed into firing this dumb employee, who apparently didn't even have the mental capacity to understand a question, and was so ready to be offended and correcting this crap. I'm sure their donations are about to drop off big time.

Now it may be a very good organization and hopefully this is just a few idiots doing this crap, but this publicity is not going to be kind to them. Nor should it be.

She simply asked a question. The pronoun stuff is such bull**** anyway. She had been volunteering at this place for 60 years.

I bet a significant minority of this country doesn't know what a pronoun is

I couldn't finish the clip, I was so pissed.

That she/her needs to be fired/sheet-canned for this, and that lady needs to be allowed to go back.

For the first time in my career I had to state 'my' pronouns. If I didn't need the income, I'd quit. I hate what we have become.

Also, than 90 year olds mental ability seems far greater than our Commander's.

Sadly, true. It used to just be something mostly in English and now it's turned into a weapon. Of course, these are the same people who can't figure out what a woman is. So I'm not really surprised.

I was more of a math/history person, but I have to be honest with you, for some reason I really liked to diagram sentences. Remember when the teachers would put sentence on the board and tell you to break it down over and under. All the lines over and under with the slashes and lines off.

It's kind of weird that it was part of my career. I ended up being a writer for some of it. Never really liked it very much but got kind of good at it. I liked the design aspect more.

That woman is totally with it. And shames Biden.

My mother is 87 and still very clear minded, and she has a friend that is 96. And until recently she was sharp as a tack and for the most part still is.

Sometimes your mind breaks down first and sometimes your body does. I don't mind living to be 100 as long as I'm still mentally competent and can reasonably get around. It can get really sad what happens to some people.

And if Biden wasn't such a big POS, I would almost feel sorry for him. But it's very hard to feel anything but contempt and loathing for that man.

She gets a pass. It doesn't count on a forum board.

When you're using talk text or doing it on the fly it doesn't always get edited. And that's coming from a former editor. Half the time when I type on here I just don't feel like going back and checking it, now that I don't have to, being a rebel.

I get more annoyed when people type on here, a really long statement with no paragraphs.

This ****ing pisses me right the **** off.

I know three people with MS and ride the MS150 every year for them. The funds raised have made real improvements in treatments, and this, their lives.

The MS Society is really putting me in a bind; forcing me to choose between helping people or standing up to the progressive dumbassery.

This is incredibly disappointing. My mom and sister both have MS as does someone that works for a client. I will spend a significant amount of time over the next 10 weeks or so training for the Texas MS150 and ask my clients to donate several thousand dollars to the cause and this is what's important? Think I'm going to send an email making it clear what their priorities are supposed to be and this isn't it. I've already signed up for the ride and raised some money or I might reconsider this year.

I would be willing (or maybe hoping) to bet this is a local chapter that has set their own guidelines and not the broader organization. Especially when you see those women was working with the Long Beach chapter.

Assuming this interview is accurate which I have no reason to believe it isn't, it is asinine to get upset over a 90 year asking questions about pronoun usage given for 90%+ of her life, there was never any question as to what pronouns to use unless it was Pat from SNL.

It's been a bit of running joke. I think C@LAg used the word less, rather than fewer, in one of his posts. Tanya was quick on the correction. All in good fun!

Let's hope it was a few morons and not the organization and their leadership will come out swinging. We'll see. MS is awful, definitely MS150 a good thing. This kind of publicity is not kind.

And … they are doubling down.

Their entire leadership needs to be fired immediately.

And then they say they hope she understands?

It looks like the organization has been taken over by wokies.

Has anybody checked where the donations to the MS Society have been going? Is the group actually contributing to MS research or is it just funneling money to pronoun types?

Based on their financial statements, less than 20% goes to actual research. Just like with cancer organizations, they aren't interested in curing. That would be ending their cash cow.
