Zone1 Why should we be committed to pronoun slavery?

[justoffal]

Polite society always seeks not to offend. A person prefers to be called by a certain name.... usually there's no problem. Some things are self-evident however and one of them is gender identities.

Having said that and not withstanding a person's personal choices.... Is it not also a personal choice to decide which pronouns we will use whether or not the person we direct them at approves of those pronouns? Who says everyone has to approve of our choice of pronouns before it's okay for us to use them?

When will we be asked to identify a person as a giraffe and be threatened with jail if we do not do that?

Likewise many people like the pronoun asshole.... I get it a lot. I know who they're talking to and I don't usually try to correct it.

But if a person is free to dictate which pronouns other people can use to identify them.... Why isn't the identifier also free to use whatever pronouns or she feels is appropriate for that identification process? Isn't this the very same freedom we're talking about?

If you run into that say at a store just ask for someone to help you that isn't a mental defective.

Control the language, and you control the range of thought.

Well nowadays when somebody shouts asshole I automatically say: " yeah what is it?"....

Yep....Denier!....
My response....
Affirmationist!

 

[Auld Phart]

I'll commit if they will.

If a male wants me to call them using a female pronoun, and vice versa, they have to call me by my 'personal pronoun'.

GOD.

Up here in the Deer Lake, Deer Park area area we use two pronouns, Bucks & Does, whether they come with two or four legs. It's more a local thing than a political issue.

Where can someone be threatened with jail for using the wrong pronoun? What does that?

Well kids can get thrown out of school as bullies if they refuse to use the specific pronouns directed by the confused person.

And teachers can get thrown out of their jobs iand lose their licenses f they use the child's preferred pronoun or do 't report that the child would like a different pronoun.

A plane crashed, 4 women and 8 men and 193 unknowns died.

For the sake of humanity, all this pronoun and woke stuff needs outlawed.

soon, very soon
at many corporations, they completely control what can be said at work, break the rule, get fired

 

[Resnic]

We shouldn't be and I am not. It's not my responsibility to play into someone else's fantasy.

If a person is offended because I don't use some pronouns then they have far more serious issues to deal with than how i refer to them. If they get offended because I call a man a man then need some help because they are so soft, weak willed and pussified that they won't be able to survive real life.
