50 gender pronouns?
50 gender pronouns?
I'm sorry, but this is insanity.

I say we only need 5:
-He
-She
-Himself
-Herself
-Gender Denier

Re: 50 gender pronouns?
This is far beyond most people on this board. My advice is to skip it, you don't make much effort to respect people who don't look or think like you anyway. What I would ask is that you don't complain about that which you don't understand. I know it's hard for a cis white dude, but it's your best move on this topic.

Re: 50 gender pronouns?
You have literally ZERO respect for large swaths of the US population - especially white, Conservative, Christians. Your most recent example:
And btw - thanks for posting the full list; I had wanted to but couldn't find it. Seeing it in full print helps illustrate just how ridiculous it is. He/she, him/her, his/hers, Mr., Mrs., Mrs. Miss, and Ms. are all we have used as a society for nearly the entire time the English language has existed. To the small minority of people who can't deal with being called one of those things - TOO BAD. You can't have everything your way. What I find absurd about it is how those people literally get offended if you refer to them by their biological gender. Born a man and think you're a woman? Fine. You do you. But as long as you look like man to me, I will continue to refer to you with your biological gender pronouns.
If that makes me a "backward-ass hillbilly redneck type" then so be it.
Re: 50 gender pronouns?
Like I said your best move is to just avoid this whole topic. I'm saying this as something to actually try to help you. I'm also a cis white dude
These terms are used quite often at music festivals. I attend over a dozen each year and the community using this terminology sort of stays to themselves and nobody else bothers to connect with them.

Re: 50 gender pronouns?
And that’s fine. But don’t expect me to juggle 50 pronouns depending on who I’m talking to. Just no. I can’t remember names worth a damn and don’t need any more to try to remember. If you don’t like your gender… write your congressman… file a complaint with gods friendly customer service representative… operators are standing by.TC Talks wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 9:23 amLike I said your best move is to just avoid this whole topic.

Re: 50 gender pronouns?
I'm not that hostile about it, if you want to go by certain pronouns go for it. I call 80% of the people around me man anyway.. hey man

Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!
Re: 50 gender pronouns?
This is the part I just don't understand. If someone wants to be referred to a certain way, why would you go out of your way to be an asshole? If someone introduced themselves to you as "Jim", would you repeatedly call them "James" because that's their given name?bmw wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 8:48 amWhat I find absurd about it is how those people literally get offended if you refer to them by their biological gender.

It takes 10 times more effort to be an asshole than it does to just be a normal, respectful person.
Re: 50 gender pronouns?
I/me/myself/ us is/are staying out of this. I don't even know what it's about.
I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.
Re: 50 gender pronouns?
For the same reason you probably wouldn't voluntarily refer to me as "God" or "Master" if I requested to be referred to that way.
Re: 50 gender pronouns?
I didn't answer your question directly because I don't accept the premise. If I call you him, he, or sir, and you are in fact a biological male, why go out of YOUR way to suggest I should call you something different than why own eyes suggest to me and to everyone else on the planet with something reasonably close to 20/20 vision that you should be called? It isn't MY problem that you not only can't accept the way you were born, but also that you insist others not accept it and treat you as such.
The reason you wouldn't call me "God" or "Master" is because I am, in fact, not God and not your master. I won't call you anything other than by your biological gender because you, are not, in fact, anything other than your biological gender.

Other than that, I agree! No way am I remembering what every single person's preferred pronoun is. I'll just call everyone a bitch from now on... "Hey bitch! How you doin'?"
