Words carry meaning. Meaning can be misunderstood. We don’t always hear what is being told to us therefore we can misunderstand and can still misunderstand even when we hear well what was said. In the book Brave New World we were introduced to what was called new speak. An example of new speak is the meaning or use of the word square. In the past a square deal was taken to be a fair deal. In the past a square meal was taken to be a meal that was good for you. Today if a person is said to be square they are being told that they are not in tune with the times. New speak has become a part of our vocabulary through the use of pronouns to represent a man or a woman. With new speak we no longer know whether an individual is male or female nor can we tell by the way they look or the way they dress. It seems as though we can be what ever we want to label our self to be. I am a man but if I label myself to be a woman then others should accept me to be female. If they don’t they might hurt my feelings. The problem with that is my feelings do not determine who or what I am. What I am is predetermined at the time of fertilization by X or Y-chromosomes. No one ask me my preference. No one ask me how I felt. I in turn would have had no idea what would be best for me even if I was ask. So what would be best for me, try to be someone I can’t truly be or learn to live with what I am to the best of my ability. That is something I can’t answer until I give it a try. There is no real best only what is best for me. Which ever I choose will not be best it will be what I have to live with. No matter how I feel about it I have to live with it for that is who/what I am that is me.
