Well, I have no way pf knowing what your preferred pronoun
is, so unless you have it on your fgorehead in
permanentymarker, I'll call you as I sees you. Oh, you
told me (sorry, my hearing ain't so good, SIR! & my
memory's even worse)
Yep.. just use the person's proper/given name. Case closed.
You know, the gener-others aren't the ones whiing anbout pronouns, as they aren't going to be hearing "him" or "her" too often; it's whiny guilty bleeding hearts who stir it all up. Just like "Native Americans/Canadians"; thgey predfer the term Indian & laugh atr us quesing to get ever more convoluted in avoiding this. . .
Columbus didn't think he was in India -- As an explorer, he knew the diference & likely knew matterings of the language. Some of the crew would've been good interpreters. George Carlin posits that Chris, trying to speak pidgin Spanish to his new sponsors, was saying a people "in Dios" (a people in God -- meaning they were found to be living at one with nature)
I know a local hereabouts who describes himself as gender fluid. One day he's a he, another he's a she; different names in use each time -- I think this is a clever ruse by our universal medical system not to have to pay to treat his multiple personality disordy.
"Whatever you say you are is what you are."
Say WHAAAT?! Since when?! Okay, I are a 17yo girl & I wish to attend the all girls' high school near here! OOOOOH!Now the turkey turns?! BAH!
& when that gal in Frisco said she was black, they turned on her -- so it's quite relative -- the last I checked, science is based on reproducible FACTS. Not invented plumbs.
The n-word is basd,. but "the n-word" is okay?! When you say "the n-word" my brain translates it to the word, so what did you accomplish?
& stop calling me physically challenged -- Sir Edmund Hillary was physically challenged. I'm just crippled.
& if you're blind, you're not "sight impaired"; you're blind! My neighbour who has 5% vision in one eye & 0 in the other is visually impaired.
I just am tired of being forced to play a game I don't even like (but I'm still better at it than most!)
You can dress uyp with clothing butthat don't hide your
primary sexual cgharaxteristic (innie or outie genitals) &
you can use surgery to dress up your crotch, but your XY
still tells the truth.
And.. there's the life-long requirement of hormone therapy to
prolong the illusion. Insane.
