Did Cassius put on a skirt and call himself Madeline?


I do business with someone named Sarah. Was introduced to me as Sarah have no idea what the given name was and don’t care since I didn’t know the person prior.

I call her Sarah, she calls me by my first name, we transact our business, talk about the weather, the Tigers and both go on our merry (or Mary?) way.

No animosity, no demands, just someone different than me but wants to just live life like I do.

Being treated equally does not mean being treated differently. And I would guess most understand that. Sarah does and lives an apparently good life.

If demands for stupid shite by either one of us were required we would just be perpetually pissed at the world and I’m not living like that.

So-who gives a shite? Just pissed off people on both sides.

Demanding pronouns is just someone looking to start shite.

I have a feeling the Baptist minister who got canned also was looking to start shite.

Logan Wolf, a board member at Forum for Equality, said it's important to respect someone's pronouns and use them.


It’s really not.

No one actually chooses their pronouns including choosing plural forms over singular. It based on being a male or a female, multiple quantities, or where quantity and sex is undetermined.

Trans had opportunity to develop a gender neutral 3rd person singular pronoun group to be used instead of the forms of he, she, it, and he or she; and the trans were initially using “they” forms a placeholder until then. They instead noticed the attention they got by forcing a plural pronoun on to people which goes against grammar rules as unnaturally as trans & nonbinary are.

Getting attention and playing victim became their goal not creating a new gender neutral 3rd party singular pronoun to go along with he, she, and it. The lefts goal of taking over words and changing their meaning is strange.

Everyone else has to modify not only what males and females for the trans but also modified a plural pronoun to be singular just for the trans.

Apparently you have to modify your religion for trans as well:
quote:

Luke Ash, a former library employee and pastor, said he knows that what he did was against the library's code of conduct for employees, but he says calling his co-workers by the pronouns they identify with would be against his own beliefs.
A govt department should not be forcing that choice onto people.

The conversation wasn’t with the trans around, but this guy talking to another worker.

They want you to pretend what they are every where even if a trans isn’t around to her it.

People are getting fired. That’s who gives a shite. People were forced to wear name tags with pronouns and include pronouns in email signatures and so on on top of some having a right to choose different pronouns than their sex or quantity before masks were required. People have been getting canceled and fired long before this elsewhere. It’s one sided even when it forces one to ignore his or her religious beliefsbiological science beliefs, and counting abilities.

The “Theys” are worse than using she for a male or using he for a female. It’s plural. It’s unnatural to use for a known person including quantity and gender/sex. We have to have 2 definitions for a word because trans were too narcissistic to come up a new gender neutral 3rd person singular pronoun group and went with the most problematic one due to being plural to cause more issues and get more attention because of those issues (or really grammar rules and habits).

This must be a big deal.

WBRZ posted it on the Nextdoor app and the comments give a clear indication that people are retarded.

People legally change their names all the time. We, as a society, have always been okay with that.

It makes no sense to care about what name people want to use. It isn't a biological fact that your name is "MorbidTheClown."

Those people are just the loudest. Calling people by "preferred pronouns" is nonsense. I will absolutely die on that hill.

You wont be there alone.

DEI is the most retarded means of societal control. I'm pretty sure Dr. Seuss warned us about this with his parable about the Star-Belly Sneetches. It's stupid and I choose not to play that stupid game.
