It is a politically charged topic though.

Do you really think so? I thought it over several times before posting. IMHO I decided it was a personal choice and nothing political. Now if you bring government officials into the mix then I can agree with your reply. Such as those pandering to these people and removing traffic signs such as “NO U-TURNS”.

Ignore stuff like this, it never amounts to anything. Just a bunch of bullshit👎

At my job in NYC the chic thing now is to announce pronouns in our E-Mails (him, his, he…)
I’m not buying ANY of it.

Piss off. My personal life has NOTHING to do with my professional performance.

[–] sslssg (30076) 9 days ago

Just out of curiosity, if I started referring to you as "she" would it bother you?

I'm not trying to be rude, I'm honestly asking.

I guess because I work in the arts, it's a normal thing for me. If we are in a group cast setting, we all just say our names and preferred pronouns. It doesn't make a difference for me as I don't care what someone calls me, but if someone wants to be referred to as they/them, I'd rather know so I don't call them something that they don't want to be called.

This issue just doesn’t hit cis people the way it hits people with gender identity issues. If you referred to me as she in real life I would start laughing. Even if it were used as insult, it wouldn’t hurt me. I might think you are jerk, but it could never make me feel like I was being denied my existence. I know who I am, and I don’t need anyone to validate that.

reply

[–] sslssg (30076) 9 days ago

It doesn't hurt a lot of people, but I don't want to take a chance and hurt someone unintentionally. I would hope that most people would be understanding as it's not something that I grew up with, so it's not the first thing that pops into my head. I will and have made mistakes, but I try to catch myself and correct myself. If I'm not sure, I ask, I don't just assume.

But anecdotally, I hate my given name. I have person reasons for that which are no one else's business, and it does cause me pain when people use it. Especially when I've asked them several times not to. What that says to me is that someone cares more about any inconvenience to themselves, than not causing me pain.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (73483) 9 days ago

I find the pronoun thing very silly.
I’m a fairly unattractive large white man, half hillbilly and half ghetto, nobody could possibly confuse me for a Lady and why should I have to clear that up!?

I resent any push to explain my gender or anyone’s gender for that matter.

Ps: you know I have great respect for you and I admire your artistic pursuits. Some of this stuff just becomes absurd at some point.

reply

[–] sslssg (30076) 9 days ago

But it's not about you though.

If someone's gender is on their profile, you won't misgender them. I'm not saying that we need to be wearing signs, but if I want to be they/them, would you insist on calling me she? Or would you just roll with it and say they are joining the chat tonight?

[–] ShogunofYonkers (73483) 9 days ago

It is very much about me when my language is changed by a tiny minority.

I see gays and trannies daily in NYC, I don’t talk to them and they don’t come near me, they are better off.

They are forcing us to accept what they feel. They can believe who or what they are as long as it stops at arm’s length. When they go beyond that they are into my space and making the world a more dangerous place. Taking down traffic signs because the signs somehow offended their warped feelings? Taking their daughter to have her boobs whacked off just because she felt she was male? Hells Bells! I was a tomboy! I wanted to be a boy so I could do the things they did, but thank the Good Lord we didn’t live in a “gone to hell in a hand basket” world at that time.

If it helps someone not want to hurt themselves, or kill themselves, then I will do it. I will not apologise for that.

All I’m saying is I’m not going to play the pronoun thingy. If the person wants to be addressed as a he or a she…dress the part. We will end up losing our minds attempting to determine how to refer to someone. Damn! I’m happy I’m no longer in the workforce. I don’t believe we are better as people when workers have to tippy toe on eggshells.

My deceased husband was a part of the IT group in the educational system. There came a time when he could no longer compliment a woman. He would be terminated. These are women he had worked with for 20 or more years, ate lunch with them, but then they had to be treated as strangers. Sad, sad…

Your “grandma is racist and homopphobic”? Have you talked to her about her feelings. More than likely she’s just bigoted against other people and not truly a racist…a word that has been bandied about so often to the point it’s been watered down. Please learn the meaning of racist.

Racist: Noun Someone who believes that their race makes them better, more intelligent, more moral, etc. than people of other races and who does or says unfair or harmful things.”Does she think this way?

She may not even be bigoted, just set in her ways. Archie Bunker was a bigot. Hitler was a racist.

As far as being, using your terminology, she may not be homophobic. She may believe its wrong, but she doesn’t hate them. She may believe people who don’t approve of their lifestyle shouldn’t be forced to do something which goes against their beliefs. In other words she should be permitted to live with her beliefs. She more than likely doesn’t want them harmed. Your grandma doesn’t have to embrace them. Just be kind to them.

All my grandparents are long deceased. I was just using that as an example that younger people just shrug this behavior off as old fashioned. It is better to be nice to people instead of being mean to them. You expend alot less energy being nicer. It really comes down to your offspring being sad that you passed away not happy that ding dong the witch is dead. There are alot more important things to focus your energy on.

”The traffic sign thing is silly. You haters always focus on the clowns.”

I’m not a hater. I just don’t approve of their lifestyle which is mt right. BTW, it’s not silly! It’s just the beginning. You don’t realize at this point, our freedom of speech and beliefs are in jeopardy. We are being forced to speak a certain way, to believe a certain way…their way.

Social engineering is alive and well. “My thoughts are your thoughts.” We are being indoctrinated to accept their lifestyles. Can you imagine how difficult it is for a child to be taught one thing at home and church then at school they are taught the opposite. Of course reading, writing, & math have to make way for the new alphabet. They may graduate without knowledge of the above, but they for sure know about the different lifestyles! School is not the place for social engineering.

The only instruction needed for children is “It doesn’t matter what your beliefs are, you should be kind to one another. Treat them as you wish to be treated.” That’s it in a nutshell. No more…no less!

Also, people live in fear at their workplace.

reply

[–] Bloodshot77 (10624) 8 days ago

Nobody is forcing you to speak a certain way. They are just asking. As for being kind to one another it starts with you being kind and understanding of other people wanting to be happy and not be afraid to go outside and being beaten up or killed because of their sexuality. It is always about Me Me Me with you people. How do I feel about this. Never even considering the feelings of the person who has it worse off than you do.

Why would you assume I’m not kind to those who live a different lifestyle? I would hope we’ve reached a point in society where those who are different are foremost… human beings. I may not accept their lifestyle, but I wish no harm upon them. They should “not be afraid to go outside and being beaten up or killed because of their sexuality.”

Well, if all someone is asking of you is to refer to them as this instead of that, and you won't partake in that, how is that kind? I do hope that if you meet a trans person you wouldn't talk to them the way you have here about them.

reply

[–] kspkap (13162) 8 days ago

To answer your question I believe the discussion I’m having currently is regarding homosexuals. As to trans types wouldn’t they be dressed as per their gender identity? Of course if I didn’t know the person I would address the person as Mr. if clothed in male garb or Ms. if clothed in female garb.

Also, since he, she, it are third person pronouns I wouldn’t address the person standing before me with one of those. Instead it would be ”You”. BTW, if a stranger I wouldn’t be aware if the person was “trans”.

reply

[–] sslssg (30076) 8 days ago

You're whole OP was about pronouns. The comment I mentioned was your reply about speaking a certain way. That's not really a homosexual issue, that's a trans issue.

Agreed. We must take responsibility for our mistakes. We are responsible for allowing this to get this far. We allowed ourselves to be seduced by libertarian ideology. I think most of us, even if we don't identify as libertarian, have internalized a lot of that ideology. As the degeneracy started to get out of control we told ourselves that it's not our problem. That people should just do whatever they like. It's not our business. Well now it's so out of control that they are making it our business. They have taken over all our institutions and are demanding that we conform to their ideology. What we should have done is create strict boundaries 20 years ago, when it was just starting. Make it clear that while we can tolerate some things, there are things we will not tolerate. But we failed. Now if we want to return our society to something resembling normal, we have to be the bad guys. We have to be firm. For this they are going to call us fascists. Well, so be it.

All those rhetorical tricks, mind games, guilt trips, power plays, and other manipulation tactics, all useless, because I just straight up tell them that yes, I'm a racist and Nazi and I want to purge you from society.

IF MAKING PEOPLE MORE COMFORTABLE IS AS EASY AS USING A DIFFERENT WORD THAN I AM USED TO....I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THAT.

Can I call you daddy too or is that just for Kowalski?

I’m never going to pick a fight Brother but if they are sore about something so silly they should seek psychiatric help.

If you are born with a pecker or a vagina you know what you are. Seek professional help if you can’t handle reality.

I’m an extremely plain large male. I don’t identify as Brad Pitt. Reality is real. No fighting it.

You're making way too many good points to keep track of here.

Keep fighting the good fight.

Thanks.

I generally support gay and trans issues, I don’t have hate but they DO NOT dictate terms!

I speak English, I know what I’m saying.

[–] SemiAnimus (1279) 9 days ago

I do.

Calling an individual "they" or hearing a single person referred to as "they" creates a blue screen of death in my internal mental operating system and I refuse to comply.

Same with "them."

Agreed 100%. The whole thing is analogous to insisting that people introduce themselves with their horoscope sign just because some fringe cohort believes in it. I would no more participate in speech designed to force my acquiescence to the pseudoscience of astrology than I would to the pseudoscience of gender ideology.

Did you just miszodiac me and assume I'm a Taurus? As a Pisces I take great offense at that.

That would be pretty ridiculous as well.

Great analogy. I'm definitely going to steal it.

Yeah, generally a subject like this will somehow always end up involving Politics to a degree when the subject is so heavily prominent now in our society and it's sort of impossible not to bring Politics up

I think we should be less pro-nouns and more anti-nouns. Words are overrated.

I'll never forget the first time I met a transvestite as a teenager. It was in the red light district of a military town where my underage buddies and I used to go to buy booze during the weekends. All of a sudden one night, we encountered this tall black guy on a sidewalk, dressed like a female prostitute, but with a very deep male voice. I was mesmerized, frozen. A few years later, this song became popular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LemG0cvc4oU What immediately caught my attention when I heard it was this lyric...." Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand...why she walked like a woman but talked like a man..."

Hello to your main account from your sock.

That's funny. The first time I can remember encountering the notion of what a tranny is was when my parents explained the meaning of the song "Lola" to me at a young age. That and that scene from the movie Crocodile Dundee.

Totally kidding about that first line of course and fuck that guy. You know who I'm referring to.

Another lyric that stands out in my mind from that song, "...girls will be boys and boys will be girls...it's a mixed up world..."
