I’ve got a big problem with it: I don’t really know how it works. I know how old school pronouning works, but not this new age shite.

I have taught English for 3 decades. I understand pronouns quite well. It frosts my gerbils when people use they or them to refer to a single person. They or them is only correct if the person has a mouse in a pocket or is possessed by multiple demons. The latter seems most likely.

Just so you know, in the future I am still he/him for now but my Anus is sun/sunny and I insist you address us both equally and properly.

I’m actually appreciate that I know how to follow up an email from Pat, Chris, and even Stacy. Now that so much communication is done with people we don’t actually meet, I’m glad to know the gender of the person I’m communicating with.

Well since you are at it can we be pissed at "her truth or my truth"?

There is but one truth.

it hasn't affected me. other than Owl, I don't know any trannies.

if I do happen to come across a pronoun person, I am not participating.

if I get a resume with pronouns on it, I immediately discard.

pronouns are not a thing in real life.

it's just pure propaganda

The reason I have a problem with it is because it normalized “hey you may be a boy you may be a girl, who knows?” But, for all 100,000 years of human history, that has never been a question. Gender dysphoria exists, legitimate trans people have always existed, but it affects something like 1 in every 3000 people. And it’s certainly not a normal, “brave” thing.

But now, we have obvious women, who look, talk and act like women, and there would never be a question in your mind what pronouns they are, but they put “she/her” in their profiles to be “inclusive” of a very, very, very tiny portion of the population that is exponentially growing because it’s a cool thing to do, and is a cheap, easy way to get yourself added to the victim pyramid.

And sorry for the double post but I wanted to say on a separate subject:

I was on a first date with a girl from Bumble. Within a few minutes I knew it wasn’t going to work. She was about 50 pounds heavier than her pictures. So I’m looking at my watch, thinking, alright, 45 minutes then bounce.

Well, she brings up the state of our country and how it’s scary, and competition with China. I said, “yeah, well, that’s what you get when they’re teaching their kids about science and math, and we’re worried about kids using the right pronouns.” I want to emphasize this: I would not have had this conversation if I wanted to get laid. I literally didn’t care and wanted to leave. She looked disappointed and said, “oh god, what do you have against pronouns?” I told her what I said in my previous post, that they were unnecessary and virtue signaling basically. Then this exchange happened.

Her: “Alright then, if it’s so obvious, what are MY pronouns?”
Me: “Are you serious? You’re a she/her.”
Her: “I’m actually a she/them.”
Me: “What? Why the distinction? Why not they/them or she/her?”
Her: “I could tell you, but I’m not interested in continuing this date.”
Me: “Cool, neither am I, but tell me the difference.”
Her: “Yeah, I don’t think you’re going to be receptive.” (Gets up to leave)
Me: “Well, that’s not very tolerant of you, is it?”

She leaves. I finish my beer. I think it’s kind of funny. Out of curiosity I tracked her down on instagram (she had a weird spelled name so it was easy). Her pronouns were she/her. Not she/them like she said.

It’s a total fricking fad and it’s so unnecessary, and to be honest I have no idea how so many people are so dumb that they can’t see through it.
