Women, help me understand why this is inspirational
No.
It makes those who have decided to be offended by everything feel better.
💯
True that
If you need everyone to keep genuflecting to your political ideology then you’re not very secure in it.
It’s a form of narcissistic power play I will force you to memorize and use awkward language when addressing me, and you will do my bidding or else risk being exposed as a Very Bad Person
It is really horrifying. They don't realize how evil they are and how they are making everyone cater to them. (My screen name is an instantly regretted troll play that I will change tomorrow)
It’s not really horrifying. The outrage and vengeance that will result if you decline to adopt new language is, though.
Yes.
Lol you even changed your name for the troll! + 500
I'm just kidding. Please don't. I can't wait to change my screen name. I'm not going to comment on anything else today out of shame.
There was a recent stat that said only 3% of Latin people wanted to be referred to as “Latinx.” Not sure why we cater to that either.
The worse part is people who want to refer to themselves as “they”. Try explaining an interaction between two or more people with “they/them” pronouns. It literally destroys the English language. Impossible to understand who “they” is among multiple “theys”
I already use they so that I don't have to use both. I hate it.
And how does it even work with gender heavy languages like Spanish
I like it when people put their pronouns down. It means I should ignore them and never communicate with them because they are probably batshit crazy.
This. I just assume that people who insist on listing their pronouns have an inflated sense of self worth, have no actual ability, and will blame any criticism or feedback on discrimination. I’m honestly glad they do it so I can dodge those bullets
Yeah I would certainly down rank a job applicant who is willing to signal just how much of a pain in the ass they’re going to be about policing language “I’m aggressively complicated” is a red flag for everyone except other cult members
Why are you so triggered by something simple that other people have consented to do? How does this affect you at all? 😂
Are you playing dumb or do you need to be educated on the new rules “Misgendering” is violence and generally considered an HR violation. And if you do it online it’s worthy of a mob massing to get you deplatformed or fired
That's very obviously a dumb strawman. What's an HR violation is *intentional and repeated* misgendering. You need to do some proper research on this subject 😂
I’m not going to... but if you want to - go ahead
