X is abuzz — socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has removed the “she/her” pronouns from her bio.
We are so back.
Does this mean wokeness over? It is the woke issue of our time for normal, straight people — clearly one gender or another — to list their personal pronouns on their Twitter bio, email signature or even their name tags. The alphabet mafia pushes it as way to show “solidarity,” that you’re an ally to their child-mutilating movement. Many people just toe the line without thinking about it; it’s the easiest way to keep the mob off your back. But it’s more of a social signifier than anything: “I’m an educated, white-collar professional, and I’m not going to get all worked up about this like some deplorable.” (Click here to stream Daily Caller documentary ‘Cleaning Up Kamala’)
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC took her pronouns out of her X bio.
According to the Internet Archive, this happened at some point between Aug. 3, 2023 and May 18, 2024. In Nov. 2022, she apologized for not including her pronouns in her Insta bio, saying “They fell off.” pic.twitter.com/4Rj7c5Q9Fi

So it is a crushing blow against the Left’s cultural capture that AOC, always at the vanguard of this progressive status anxiety, now feels comfortable letting everyone decide for themselves what gender she is. President-elect Donald Trump ripped open the Overton Window with his victory last week, and libs all over the country are going to start defecting — at least that’s the narrative on X the week of Nov. 11.
As it turns out, however, AOC appeared to remove her pronouns quite some time ago. The WayBack Machine shows she took them off this past May, at the latest. In hindsight, we should have been more confident about the backlash brewing. Even AOC was done with the pettiest part of wokeness six months ago, and you had doubts that Trump would ride a red wave to victory in November?! We spent all this time tracking the polls, when all we had to do was look a little closer at AOC’s Twitter bio.
