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
do you think trans people want to be passable because its just fun to do? why else would they care about passing?
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
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
heres some articles since i think youre being ignorant on purpose:

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.
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...
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
but FORCING people to use those words or be fined or banned or jailed is definitely tyranny
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
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"
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
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
easy to just say "they" instead of he or she. if you know what they are then you wouldnt keep using they
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
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
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?
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.
