I’ve never understood the progressive left’s eagerness to ‘claim’ pronouns and put them on display. It’s silly to believe anyone can possess them. Your being a he or a she is determined by social context. Accept that your ability to enforce a personal preference is limited at best.
Have you ever had a single real life interaction with someone who puts their pronouns up front and center? Have YOU ever seen someone talk about their pronouns outside of an internet ragebait setting?
I’m not trans. I was born with cock and balls. I had (He/Him) in my work emails until recently. I’m just built like a twink, even when I was a soldier and lifted every day. I’ve always looked extremely feminine, and get called ma’am by strangers all the time. People call me by whatever pronouns they want, mostly out of confusion. I’ll always respond to them if they’re not outright doing it to be a contrarian or a pussy-hearted whiny bitch because I look like a girl.
My “ability to enforce a personal preference is limited at best” is actually zero. When you give your preferred pronouns to someone you have no control over them using the right pronouns. You’re completely reliant on the kindness of others to not be a piece of shit and make fun of you. That’s not a reason to stop giving your pronouns out.
If you concede your powerlessness, why would you issue them in the first place? I’m reminded of signage in workplace kitchens, requesting that people wipe benches and ensure dishes aren’t left in the sink - a conscientious worker will follow it in nearly all cases (either by accident or deliberation), but it’s pointless when in front of a careless worker.
To make it feel normal for trans people to do it, and so people are simply aware.
Look, Steve. You’re right that society can force things onto you. But only dickheads do that after they’re made aware that they’re wrong. Am I making sense, Steve?
I agree with what you said, and personally find it stupid, however i wouldn’t go and issue a whole policy “to remove pronouns”
NASA has to interpret the boss’s demands. Like every other US public org they’re looking for anonymity by being center of the pack.
Which is why people put it in places that they can control, like social media bio, signatures in emails etc so that they are lease have it communicated, giving people the ability to use it.
monkeys paw. Pronouns are fully banned. He and She no matter the context are entirely banned. You must now use solely full names
“breadsmasher is posting this comment. breadsmasher hopes itll engage discussion. breadsmasher thinks this is a stupid way to address breadsmashers self”
“Hopes itll engage discussion”
You’re fired
oh my god i failed so much
I got some more bad news for you, bud
Don’t worry, they’ll still give you bread and water in the lithium mines. Probably.
Talk like Hulk
I hope there’s some malicious compliance that happens. Where they remove all of it. Everyone is referred to by their full name for every place you would normally use a pronoun. Like even It would become the fullname of the object everytime.
I hope everyone starts talking in the 3rd person
I have a friend named Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
