This response from Abraham Lincoln shows us the problem of twisting the definitions or meanings of words:
He asked someone how many legs a dog would have if we counted the tail as a leg.
The predictable response: "5"
Lincoln's replies (paraphrase): "No, it's still 4, because calling a tail a leg doesn't actually make it a leg."
Just because we say something is so or really want it to be so - such as saying a boy is a girl or a girl is a boy - doesn't make it so. Our society has gone mad. Demonically mad.
