This whole ‘preferred’ pronouns being a life or death situation is so ridiculous and melodramatic. The fact there are doctors encouraging this nonsense is really worrying.

I've gotten called 'sir' a couple of times in my lifetime, and my reaction usually ranged between 'Hohoho he thinks I'm a sir!' to 'What? Really? I don't even look like a sir today??' But I guess that comes for not being so fucking insecure that your entire world crumbles because someone looked at you and got confused.

This encouraging of T to crumble anytime they get misgendered/not validated is so toxic. Like it's toxic for the rest of us but it's doubly toxic for the T's themselves. Butch women/Feminine men have been dealing with getting misgendered for at least well over a century, and I've never heard of that kind of misgendering being associated with suicidal ideation.

Most don’t give a shit. It’s only the attention seekers that use ‘they’ or other made up pronouns to refer to themselves that care.

Problem is, we are forced to give a shit because these attention seekers are allowed to speak over us.

It's kinda weirder considering that this whole thing started in English speaking languages, where gender is only relevant for a few words. Even if you actually care about gender, it's quite easy to talk in a neutral way.

It's like the whole Latinx deal. It's obviously absurd, but if they really wanted to use a gender neutral term... They know Latin American already exists, right?

The number of guys on Grindr with their preferred pronouns as "attack helicopter" or a similar joke (at least in my area) is uplifting. It's not too many, but it's more than you'd think
