The fact that 39% do ask pronouns is the more interesting/ alarming aspect.

This is what I find alarming:

... Mermaids, one of the UK’s leading LGBTQ+ charities, ...

No LGB erasure here, no sir.

I'll take bets that's a fib. The gender lobby is extremely skilled at making it seem as if it has about a billion times more support than it does.

According the article 61% never ask about pronouns and 6% always do. They don't say anything about the other 33%. Also, it's a survey. Just because you say yes to something on a survey doesn't mean you actually do it.

I call bullshit on 39% of people asking for pronouns. There's no way that many people delve that deeply into the insanity. I could buy 39% of people respecting the nonsense pronouns, but 39% actively asking people their pronouns the first time they meet? No way.

They probably conducted he survey among BBC staff

It's 6% asking every person they first meet.

If 61% never ask pronouns, I'm guessing 39% have asked for pronouns at least once.

Still. I can't believe there are people who ask every person they meet 💀

I wouldn't even answer such a stupid question.

It's fitting they used aliens in their comic strip, because the expectation for everyone to introduce themselves with their preferred pronouns is out of this world.

I'm not reading the whole fucking thing but I never thought UniLad was so insufferably woke.

Edit: Also there are other more important issues facing the United Kingdom at the moment. Knife crime, housing, post-pandemic economic recovery etc. But no, the 'crisis' is misgendering is what we should all be focussing on.

That's, I think, one of the big reasons behind Gender Madness - keep us all off-balance, confused, and clawing at each other, so that the Powers That Be can rob us blind as they turn us back into peasants.

That's spot on.

A completely manufactured 'crisis'.

Decent brits ask people for their pronouns. Decent brits have always asked people for their pronouns.

That's an absurd lie.
