So there’s this funny thing about colour. I’m not talking about race here. Actual colours. Wherein certain languages always seem to have the same colours when they only have a certain number of base words for colours. When the language has words for only two colours, these usually correspond to light and dark. Black and white.

I’m still not talking about race.

And when there’s three, the third is always red.

Then if there’s another it’s yellow or green.

Then if there’s five, they’re generally the other one from above and then blue.

Then you get an old and heavily moulded language like English with hundreds of colour names.

But there are languages which only discern only two colours.

Has the penny dropped yet?

Decrying gender ideology is like saying that there’s only light and dark. “What’s all this ‘red’ business? And don’t get me started on green.”

Now I’m certainly not going to tell people whose languages lack words for primary colours that they’re backward, because they have other ways of describing those things, or can learn names from other languages.

But if someone from one of those cultures was to insist that there’s only two and can’t accept that other languages break things up into separate categories, that’s denying a fact, and that’s a problem.

And if they get violent and start painting things black and white because “that’s all there is”, that’s an even bigger problem.

Do you understand yet?

“But black can’t change to white and white can’t change to black!!1!”

Not all things are the same colour all the way through. What’s on the outside is not necessarily representative of what’s going on on the inside. This here red apple, sorry, dark apple, is light on the inside.

And now it’s illegal to peel an apple.
