yep, all political activism: https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2019-05-31/...

evidence of banning by sensitive/offended people: https://www.christianpost.com/news/twitter-banned-psychologi...

you really think not picking a gender is not a disorder? yep thats right there next to flat earth then

anon12345690··on An Update to Our Community and an Apology
millions of years of evolution that lets us instantly identify a man or woman by sight and other senses

do you think trans people want to be passable because its just fun to do? why else would they care about passing?

anon12345690··on An Update to Our Community and an Apology
yea the problem is all the people getting involved and outraged about things that dont concern them. they even use war terms like "allies" to get that moral righteousness so they feel like theyre in the "fight"
anon12345690··on An Update to Our Community and an Apology
distract? are you serious? yea this isn't distracting at all to 99.99% of people who can get along fine without worrying about pronoun rules.
anon12345690··on An Update to Our Community and an Apology
thats exactly it. people who have no serious problems so they invent new ones and love to play the moral outrage game because they get power over others

you see so many people who do this then get eaten by the same group when they inevitably screw up some rule in the future

anon12345690··on An Update to Our Community and an Apology
nope expecting the world to cater to your pronouns is harassment of the 99.99% of people who dont need or want to deal with it. i cant think of a more privileged complaint.

if you want to make extreme choices then youre gonna have to accept that its not going to be as comfortable. nobody owes you anything

anon12345690··on An Update to Our Community and an Apology
life has been pretty simple for centuries. this is a manufactured problem. seriously because if youre trans and change your name then people just go with your new pronoun automatically anyway. you literally have to go out of your way to be difficult with this and thats why people have problem accepting it
anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
lol civilly? yea 99.99% of people dont have a problem and get along just fine. whats not civil exactly? oh you mean demanding that literally everyone else treat you special? got it.

heres some articles since i think youre being ignorant on purpose:

nope lol are you in the medical community or are you getting this from twitter activists?

gender identity is accepted as different from sex and because males and females are different so its possible that some people may have gender dysphoria (which is literally a mental disorder like body dysmorphia). nobody disagrees with all that.

but 100 different genders and non-binary is not accepted by science. believing in that is like believing in creationism and flat earth at the same time.

anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
no youre looking at it backwards. if the only black person on the team kept saying I want you to call me "your majesty" and i ignored them then its not cause theyre black but because theyre unreasonable and demanding from everyone else

guess what, easier to dump the unreasonable person. but of course if you cant see people for more than their skin color then youll think its discrimination. i cant help you with that.

and heres a bonus story for the day about how this gender neutral stuff is hurting people and kids: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7542005/Girls-skipp...

anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
most people on twitter and a lot of the verified people basically police each other for how "woke" they can be with social justice

and if anyone steps out of line against the insane number of rules about who you might slightly offend then you get mobbed and "cancelled" by being called a racist/sexist/bigot/transphobe/nazi and whatever cool word is in use until you lose your job and lifestyle and are permanently branded a terrible person

anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
when you stop forcing people to do things then theyll be much nicer in dealing with you
anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
no its not

but FORCING people to use those words or be fined or banned or jailed is definitely tyranny

anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
define hurt. you cant just make up rules. people can say whatever they want. its free speech and its important. and are you seriously ignoring all the people who do get fired and jailed? lol wait till it happens to you

i find your comment offensive so youre banned for life from the internet. is that what you want? or should my offense be my own problem? ill let you figure out which one is better

anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
yea ok if they werent whining then there wouldnt be a problem would there? we wouldnt even be talking about pronouns if nobody cared huh? lol whatever
anon12345690··on An Update to Our Community and an Apology
the fact that 99.999% of people throughout history have gotten along just fine without worrying about different pronouns that dont match their gender
anon12345690··on An Update to Our Community and an Apology
you realize nobody really has a problem with that right?

this isnt a case about a specific person wanting a different pronoun. its about changing ALL language in the site to be gender neutral. that part is dumb. we dont need to worry about using she and he to talk about alice and bob because "they might be trans"

anon12345690··on An Update to Our Community and an Apology
first, yes you can call her whatever you want. its called freedom.

second, yea pronouns are different. they are actual nouns in the language used to describe people by what they are. theyre exactly the opposite of names which are completely random things you can claim

third, you know most people use pronouns that match a name and looks? so if you change gender and change your name then people are probably gonna be using the right pronoun anyway

anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
no, because the problem is with pronouns

theres nobody specific in the story. nobody requested a pronoun. if it was that simple then why would any of this happen? its cause this is about pronouns being a problem and people wanting to edit everything to be gender neutral to cater to the perpetually outraged

anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
a lot of times its when youre talking about people where you dont know the name or gender but its a single person

easy to just say "they" instead of he or she. if you know what they are then you wouldnt keep using they

anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
nah the real solution is for 99.99% of society to ignore all the fake outrage about pronouns and get back to their lives
anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
ok so what? the entire problem is its not known because its different than normal. so we cant use the default gender because someone somewhere might not agree? and we cant use singular they because they dont like it?

so what, we need to read minds? why? for the 0.01% of people who demand everyone else change? how about we forget all this and stick to the defaults. if YOU have a specific pronoun then you can ask but we dont need to rewrite posts and content at all

anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
its the same people that are on twitter and then go to work and school and bring this with them. they should be ignored in real life too but nobody wants to deal with the hysterical accusations from the far left
anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
when its getting to the point that its turning into hr classes and laws that get you fired or jailed for being in the 99.9% of the population then yea people should fight back against it all
anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
yea exactly people use he or she because of your name and looks

if trans people change their name then people will just use the pronoun that goes with the name automatically so its specifically people who have a name that is not normal for that pronoun or visually look different that even have a problem

so its super rare for this to be a major issue to spend all this time even discussing it

anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
twitter culture is outrage culture. its a bunch of maniacs yelling at each other and they should all be ignored
anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
whos that person then? you wont find a name because its not about specific people. if it was then it would be pretty simple to just use the pronouns when talking to them and there wouldnt be any issue

but this is about editing posts to be gender neutral. why do we need to do that? if YOU dont have a specific pronoun then whats the problem?

anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
yea theres a difference between what you CANT say and what you MUST say

guess what, rules against what you cant say are fine but you cant make me have say something. thats tyranny. youre welcome to be as outraged as you want in your own home but you dont get to control my life because of it. its called freedom.

anon12345690··on Dear Stack Exchange, Inc.
thats not a problem either. you cant force people to say anything.
