Just think about what this represents.

A woman, dressed and made up entirely in a stereotypically feminine fashion, is having the same emotional reaction that usually accompanies a serious life issue (bad diagnosis, death of a friend or family member, etc) over being addressed by a noun that throughout the modern period, for as long as the English that we speak to today has existed, has been considered to be an entirely acceptable and appropriate form of address for someone with that appearance.

And then she videoed herself.

And then she posted it online.

We need a final solution for the annoying cunt problem.

I don't know about that.

My sister sometimes has this kind of reaction when picking an outfit for an event.

I did say “etc”!

Yeah, I suppose the women in my life just don’t behave like that, so it reads as a massive overreaction to me.

However not one tear

Imagine if a man presenting the way she does wasn't called 'she'. That would be transphobic!

Words no longer make sense. Someone can be a lesbian and a wife but not a 'she'? I work with multiple very feminine presenting female they/thems so I have to navigate this mindfield every day.

A few of them put 'she/they' in their signature but apparently you have to call them 'they' Or Else.

The modern day in a nutshell.

No, you have to SWITCH the pronouns you are using. Like use "she" and then switch to "they". Halsey had a meltdown over some magazine not doing this a few years ago lmao.

I've seen that rule too. I've noticed the CBC does that for their genderspecials bios.

These ones I work with only wear 'they/them' flair on their lanyards, so there are really mixed messages.

Ok so here is my take on what is possibly at the root of her tantrum. I think most people are familiar with the idea that someone could be going through a very rough time, bereavement, job loss, discovering their partner is having an affair, infertility, etc. They keep on getting on with life with a degree of stoicism and then one day they come home realise realise the guy at the takeaway forgot to put their chips in their bag of food and they just bursting into tears. It's not the chips, it's the other shit and the chips are just the last straw.

So I'm looking at this woman's wife. She's a they/them with a face shape and voice that suggests she's taking testosterone and her shirt open to display her mastectomy. It's possible that this fairly young looking woman married a woman she loved and not too long after Azul started to troon out. The sane reaction is to get a divorce or annulment if possible. But people often stay in relationships long after a communists parade of red flags has marched through it. Especially after marriage. I think this woman could be being emotionally abused by her transthey wife and dragged into identifying herself in the same way. She's been sad and scared for quite a while and the absolute rejection of the cult she's found herself trapped in by normal members of the community she thinks is meant to be all in with, has broken her.

I could be way off base but I genuinely get a manipulative vibe from the wife. The way she strokes her "comfortingly" while continuing to rile her up with her words. All while making sure her own chest gets in the video seems like she's pulling the strings of the crying woman.

That’s a far too reasonable analysis of the situation.

If the wife is a newly minted troonette, I bet their mutual friends and family are lovebombing the troonette and that probably makes it really awkward for crying girl to take any action that could be interpreted as unsupportive.

If that’s the actual case, I’m a little more sympathetic but having spent ten years of my professional life dealing with tantrums and tears from little kids I don’t have a great deal of sympathy for adults who pull that shit - but having your life implode because your partner is a loon is probably reasonable justification for a meltdown.

However, filming and posting that shit online?

I'm pleased the gays were refusing to indulge her bullshit too. LGB without the Q!

[–]Electric-Ocelot69 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Honestly this is a valid assessment. I noticed the they/them wife prominently displaying her chest on the screen.

[–]P-38lightning 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

She's acting no different than a 5-year-old when you tell them they can't have a cookie.

She says it was like her dad shouting at her

    Yes

    You, not so much

    Well thank you very much that's very nice of you to say.

    Yes. Unfortunately, the solution is ugly for all of us.

    True grief looks much worse than this in my experience. Not just crying but nausea/vomiting, uncontrollable shaking, choking on tears, shit like that.

    This woman reads to me more as a spoiled child crying to her mommy that she didn't get what she wanted for her birthday.

    Whatever the case it's fucking pathetic.

    Don't you have to be over 21 to buy alcohol in the US? She looks like she's 15 and acts like she's five.

    Attention-seeking. It's all attention-seeking.

    If it's not a prank, it's mental illness. She shouldn't be drinking anyway. Being a lesbian is the least of her problems.

    [–]xoenix 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    I think this is an act, looks like this influencer. She seems to invent new pronouns in every video.

    [–]jet199[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Of course it's a performance.

    The trouble is she likely is trying to convince herself as much as anyone else.

    Is this woman okay? Like seriously. I'm not even trying to make fun of her because this is such an over the top reaction. And I'm sorry. I don't believe that her story is what really happened.

    [–]The_Best_Yak_Ever 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

    I think it’s an act. I’m not certain what the point of the act was, which is scary. I want to think she’s parodying the ridiculous narcissism that the TRA and Q communities constantly wallow in. But it’s even more likely that she’s putting on a show because the supply of oppression is way lower than the demand for it.

    [–]Electric-Ocelot69 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    I hope it's an act because if she's this mentally unwell then she needs help.

    Fairly normal lady who had too much to drink. She'll blame it on being spiked in the morning

    This reminds me of a show I heard part of on NPR this Friday. It was a slog through the swamp of Gen Z neurosis, going on and on about gender, masculinity, identity, and "the patriarchy." We seem to have taught an entire generation to be self-obsessed and introspective to a degree that's unhealthy. It was like listening to a therapy session with someone who doesn't seem to have any real problems, so they have to make them up.

    I think some of these kids need to do some actual physical labor instead of staring at a screen all day.

    I absolutely love this, this is the correct response to these gender-specials, just GTFO.

    If you're wearing a dress and red lipstick and get upset someone called you ma'am then that's on you. Also, isn't her tiktok handle 'pronoun GAL'? GAL as in girl=woman=lady? She's not the 'pronoun They-them', she's the pronoun GAL!!!
