I’m on a Board of Directors meeting on Zoom. People are introducing themselves and saying “And my pronouns are she/her” or whatever. I simply gave my name. They asked me to declare my pronouns. I said: “I declare that my gender is the least interesting thing about me.”

A poor man is dying in the nursing home. The local priest I called refused to provide Last Rites, saying the Bishop has disallowed it. I begged him to show mercy and do the right thing. He didn’t want to get in trouble, he told me. I am heartbroken by this abject betrayal.
