@AmWonderingWhy@realjimrussell@ImperiumFirst is this an anti-evolution take? or are you getting at something slightly deeper here?
i'm definitely not going to take anti-evolution seriously, but you seem more reasonable than that, so i think you might be saying something that isn't quite getting through to me?
@H_R_Mencken@Tom_Mock@HariSel57511397 okay i mean ig i kinda assumed tom & i were the same people (plural), when you talk about "your people", but fair enough :)
@Gabriru_fan yeah, sure, that's reasonable, but she/her is a lot more direct - woman irl can be interpreted as a joke, in some situations. pros and cons ig
@EruseaRise@CarnivoreKing88@HariSel57511397@Tom_Mock sure, i can tentatively agree with that, kinda - i don't think it comes from the prof. managerial side (and it being this website, i'm a little worried you might mean the jews by that), i think it's much older.
but, short term, what do you think should happen? they them for all?
@EruseaRise@CarnivoreKing88@HariSel57511397@Tom_Mock okay, so please explain where i'm going wrong? If everyone is gender neutral by default, then using gender neutral language seems sensible to me? you could say he/she if your problem is singular they, but the point is the gender neutrality
@Birdy_momon88@HariSel57511397 wait, also, "you people are evil freaks of nature". what the fuck? what group are you even referring to there? leftists? queer people? trans people? atheists? we're all human bro, tf kinda hateful ass rhetoric is that?
@Whatevawhateva8@Tom_Mock@HariSel57511397 i know right? it's super messed up, and it locks them into a little bubble. i'm at least reading what they're saying enough to push back, but they're happy to just call me a slur and move on without questioning *anything*
@clearsyouHD@HariSel57511397 The “pronouns in bio BAD” is just a thought terminating cliche for a lot of these right wing dudes now. It gives them an excuse not to have to think about whatever you’re saying because you’re in “the bad group.”
@steven_lynn_@Tom_Mock@HariSel57511397 ?? like, on purpose? authoritarianism is an ideology that has led to almost as much suffering as communism. it was the main driver behind the holocaust, behind pol pot, behind all totalitarianism. i don't understand how you could, knowing your history, place yourself there.
@ergonoatia@HariSel57511397 for murder? YEAH. I AGREE. which is part of the reason i'm asking to be told which children have been murdered based on trans ideology 😭
@gram7807@DrainBammag@EdwardHowa73908@jk_rowling now, i totally agree that children shouldn't be on GAHT, which is why puberty blockers are so important :) let them make that decision later, yk?
@gram7807@DrainBammag@EdwardHowa73908@jk_rowling the children thing has historically been the talking point, yes, but in modern (last couple months) times they are absolutely also trying to limit access for adults. it was never about the children, it was always about the transness
@gram7807@DrainBammag@EdwardHowa73908@jk_rowling okay. i'm sure you've heard this before, but wouldn't that put passing trans men (ie: ftm) in a situation where they had to choose between going into the ladies room and being accused of creeping on women or going into the mens and breaking the law? that seems messed up.
@YeOldeWordSmyth@Tom_Mock@HariSel57511397 i mean, you could also just be a woman who doesn't want to be he/him-ed (often the default, especially with older folk), particularly if your profile is gender neutral.
like, queer people aside, non-queer folk also have pronouns
@carrotflower9@Tom_Mock@HariSel57511397 you can believe that, but that wouldn't make pronouns in bio *evil*, would it? it's probably a red flag that my room is messy, but it isn't *evil* to have a messy room
@Birdy_momon88@HariSel57511397 to be super clear: I'm not an american. I'm not deeply familiar with your local politics. was there like, a batch of estrogen which was poisoned or something??!?
