I think this is a case where violence is actually the correct answer

If these fricking counts want to play this game we should all start playing it with them. Be there boycotting tomorrow A.M. since our (insert made up pronoun, since that's all this is outrage over stupid made up issues) wasn't identified. This activity of inclusiveness has left us out and made us feel inferior. Under we have buttons labeling us appropriately we will boycott


Your pronoun isn't 'he', 'she', or 'they'?

I'm not sure what you're getting at

Well the surgery is available to you. I won't help pay for it, but I support your gender reassignment.

shite, sorry for bumping this but something just occurred to me:

Only third person pronouns have gender, so if you're talking to a person then it shouldn't matter. Furthermore, I was taught that if the person is in your presence then you always use their name (this might be a southern thing, not sure). Like if we were in a group and you said "I ran into him at the movies" while I'm standing next to you, that's pretty rude, you should say "I ran into Lucas", right?


So the only time this could ever come up would be in the person's absence when they're being talked about. How can you get offended by something that you're never meant to hear?

It's called being present-fluid. Sometimes people feel like they're present when they're not physically at said location. Look into it, you close-minded redneck frick.

These are plural pronouns. Is it for people who identify as multiple people?

If men acted like actual men, none of this would be a problem. If you sit in front of a QWERTY for a living, then women are as manly as you, hence the blurred gender line.

Now that Trump is president, hate-filled fascists like him are coming out of the woodwork. There is literally going to be an extermination of non-binary humans as soon as Trump is sworn in. I literally can't even right now.

Is race fluid too? I mean if we can pick our gender when we are obviously male or female, why not race?

I'm not delusional about Trump, but I do think his America will tone this down quite a bit.

It's almost moot. Race and gender are both interpretations of the way we display and perceive our biological differences.

The old social norm was: man does manual labor, and woman does everything domestic. The gender divide was clear and still is in the second and third worlds.

Now in the first world, men and women basically do the same white collar jobs. Men do less manual labor, and women bear fewer children. The gender divide has ceased to be so clear.

No man who wears a white collar for a living has the right to complain about this as he's no manlier than the chick in the cubicle next to his.
