Before it’s possible to discuss any policy position that’s supposedly “progressive,” the first step is always to escape the world of euphemisms and start talking, in explicit detail, about what’s actually happening. This might sound straightforward, but every single organ of the Left is committed to making sure you don’t do this. They would much rather you debate the abstract concept of “a woman’s right to choose,” for example, than discuss how children are dismembered and discarded like trash. They would also prefer that you use terms like “gender-affirming care,” instead of discussing chemical castration. And on and on. Euphemisms are one of the most potent tools these people have. They are everywhere, in every single debate on every issue. And in every case, they’re a gross misrepresentation of reality. They need to be neutralized immediately before any actual discussion can begin.
To that end, take this headline from the other day. It ran in The Guardian:
