That you are upset someone specified what to call them? I’m really not sure why it bothers you this much.


Because it’s either:

An insult because someone is assuming you don’t have a basic grasp of the English language

Rude because someone is trying to push their insane 64 gender ideology on you

But you knew that

Even if you don’t believe their ideology is it that upsetting to just call people what they choose?

Because he is either virtue signaling or bending the knee to a loud minority. Both bother me too. We lost prayer in schools because maybe 8 people said they were offended. I'm not putting "he/him" on my e-mail signature at work because Michael (who is now Michelle) down the hall feels lonely because they would be the only one doing it.

Of course not. I will call them by what they choose. I will respect them, and their choice in life. I have no problem with that. I just don't see the need for me to have to state how I identify.

It is part of being an ally, being inclusive and an attempt to normalize discussions about gender. So transgender or non-binary individuals aren't the only ones doing it.


Transgender and “non-binary” (whatever the frick that means) people can deal with this just fine without us normal people having to participate. For example, if I’m talking to someone who looks like a man and accidentally use their wrong pronoun, they can correct me, I can apologize, and then we move on. A total of 3 seconds spent and no one was harmed. That’s how it’s been done for thousands of years before shallow thinking, self-important modern SJW’s and their cancel culture started taking hold.

First of all, I didn’t say I don’t believe it, I said it’s insane. I don’t partake in insanity.

I will be polite and call them the name they go by, as always.If his name is Steve I’ll call him Steve. If her name is Betty I’ll call her Betty.

I’m not adopting a retarded bastardization of the English language to placate nut jobs.

This is revolutionary. No one has ever presented it in this way. Would you make this public so I can share


Well it’s a public post, so go ahead.

Guess is reality doesn’t go over well with your social circles.

So you would have no problem with addressing me as His Royal Majesty? What about Lord Longcock like the other posted suggested?
