Just create a circus freak category for sports for all the fricking weirdos and be done with it.

This shite is so damn stupid and they’re demanding respect for something they’ve made up out of thin air, frick these people

What the frick is non-binary?


The "gender binary" is you're either a male or a female, a guy or a girl. People who claim to be non-binary want there to be a third option that "breaks" the "binary".

I wish my biggest problem in life was the sort of shite they concern themselves with...

How’d they choose which contest to compete in.

Why do I have to use their pronouns when I use my own pronouns.

I hope they don't apologize but will I'm sure

Anyone know what is the justification made to use they/them for a singular person. Obviously it/its is the correct format if they truly want to be more accurate. Obviously they would take offense to that. Heck if ya gonna promote being a freak...own it.

Remember kids: When someone shares their pronouns, they're doing you a favor. It's a shortcut to let you know you may immedistely disregard anything they have to say, as it is wholly without value.

Let's just take this for a moment and realize what a fricking clown world this is.

The problem with that is if everyone agreed on a 3rd gender, like all of civilization, than that would be normal. And then they would need another gender to go against societal norms.

It's never ending.
