@remyplaguerat@documense@terrafically Refusing to label someone DOES cause significant pain to what are likely the most vulnerable people in an interaction like this. That's the whole point we're trying to help you understand
@remyplaguerat@documense@terrafically I'm not sure you know your history if you're using that term that way. Third-gendering has been a weapon of oppression against trans people, particularly trans women, for thousands of years.
@remyplaguerat@documense@terrafically You see how messed up that is, right? You extend the "privilege" of having your gender recognized to conservative men, but not to women or trans people?
@remyplaguerat@documense@terrafically You can tell people to do that, but they aren't going to 100% of the time. If a 75 year old woman walks in and an employee they-thems her, she's going to be offended, and everybody intuitively knows this. People only do the gender-neutral stuff when they see a trans person.
@remyplaguerat@documense@terrafically I don't think there is a way. It's probably better to tell cis people to just assume peoples' pronouns and accept corrections with grace. The way you're describing it basically encourages employees to third-gender all trans women by default.
@remyplaguerat@terrafically Yeah, I hate when people do that. It feels like they're trying to withhold my gender from me 100% of the time. I wish people would just assume my pronouns. Being blatantly misgendered is less offensive to me than being aggressively gender-neutraled.
@Z33Queen hasn't been an issue in over 15 years. It's only the naturally aspirated SOHC EJ25's that do that, and if one of those is still on the road at this point, it's been replaced with an MLS gasket which is a permanent fix
@its_ryles@donkatsu_ramen I think it's because the Patriot AIs are hardcoded to not manipulate or scheme against the Patriots' founding members. I have no fucking clue why they're tricked by a guy pretending REALLY HARD to be Big Boss, and at this point I'm afraid to ask
