What is this all about?

Ask Teddy Truman.
Dear Teddy,
I am a middle-aged white Republican woman. Plus, I am non-queer, married but recently widowed, and for sure binary. None the less, I was told by others to never call anybody queer. I am a she and female. A girl. I don’t get all this pronoun stuff and to be honest, I’m not sure what a pronoun is. I didn’t do well with senior English in high school. So, tell me what is all this queer, non-binary, anti-pronoun hog wash is. I feel left out.
Dear Left Out,
I too do feel left out. However, if you remember your pre-teen, teen, and post teen years and it’s disparaging names and things we use to call each other. You know, dipsey, blockhead, moron, square, nerdy, fathead, straight, cockamamie, and my favorite, dumbbell. And those in the in-crowd called each other, sharp, with it, cool, and again my favorite, Awesome. Get it? Hope this answers your query. Otherwise just stop watching The Voice and go play pickleball instead.
Teddy.
