Well, I take a more moderate view than that. I don't even think most GC people are that hardcore about pronouns.

It's what's called a polite courtesy. Blaire transitioned because of severe dysphoria. I don't mind a biologically incorrect pronoun for the purposes of helping out someone who's trying to live their life as best they can. Where I have a problem is people demanding pronouns or making up crazy new pronouns and generally making a big thing of it.

Up to you. I can't provide him that polite courtesy myself, just as I can't be polite when it comes to other "trans" people because I'm frankly disgusted by their ideology. I can't even bring myself to use an incorrect pronoun because it will make me as guilty as them in enforcing the ideology I disagree with. But if you want to then so be it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I thought you were on the QT side? Either way, the pronoun issue is very low on my list of priorities.

I'm not on the TQ side. When I posted here multiple times the few days ago, which I know you remember, I was neutral and questioning. My questions were similar to what TQs asked because I took a neutral stance and wanted to ask whatever was on my mind. Whatever I didn't understand. I still have episodes where I don't understand something, but it's not as bad as before.

And yeah. People's priorities are different. For me, pronouns are on top of my priority, because getting the TQ to come back to reality right when they feel like they are the opposite sex is more effective than agreeing with them they are the opposite sex and even going with their preferred pronouns.

But your priorities are difference, that's fine.
