I’m gonna go even further and see even then, who cares? Just say “this one,” it requires zero effort. I think going out of your way to actively not do so just because you personally find it silly is kind of an asshole move. Like, I can’t stop you from behaving that way, but I think it’s far more silly to raise a fuss about it than just tolerate it.
I think the simple solution to all of this is to simply not hang out with these people. If you don’t like them, which you both clearly don’t if basic respect for them is such a massive issue, then just don’t interact? Again, SUCH a tiny minority of people even use Neo pronouns, and even less are demanding about it
Are you actually brain dead? No one is saying trans people are free from all responsibility, but you don’t get to say someone is a bad person just because they would like people to respect their pronouns, even if they seem silly or out there. It also doesn’t mean you can just disrespect someone’s identity because they’re an asshole.
I don’t think you or any other human being on the planet deals with this kind of thing on the regular, and even if this was something you deal with regularly, it’s a non issue dude. As a cis dude myself it doesn’t bother me in the least to respect people’s pronouns even if I find it silly because, y’know, I think that’s just what adults with a basic sense of social awareness do,
First, where did OP say that? They’ve been talking about one person using one pronoun this whole time, and have been criticizing unconventional pronouns, but not that. second, how often do you actually encounter people like that? And third, who tf cares if they want to do that? Just don’t interact. No one is forcing you to do so.
Adults with a basic sense of social awareness should not be malding bc not all of their queer friends can keep up with their preferred language. It’s like being offended that some of us didn’t predict what they’re ordering for lunch today. And when you have one or two who act like this, it’s fucking infuriating
to be fair, i had a friend irl that would change their pronouns and preferred name literally every day and they’d get mad if you didn’t know they changed it. idk if that’s what op is talking about, but there are people like that. idk respect their new pronouns but it would change so often i would have zero clue what’s going on
Again, OP didn’t say a think about this person malding over it, that’s just what you’ve said lol, all of this comes off like someone requesting a simple thing and OP getting triggered over it for no good reason. Truly, it is a non issue that y’all have blown up into nothing, and I don’t think you people realize how much you come off like the whiny “cunts” here over something this trivial z
You don’t, but based on everything OP has said I’m hedging my bets on this being a “person asks politely, other person refuses to respect it, person gets peeved and leaves” situation. The whole thing just reeks like someone looking to victimize themselves over a non issue, and it’s frankly pathetic.
I’m sorry dude but you are not convincing me whatsoever lol, based on everything you’ve said this just sounds like a case of over sensitivity and an attempt to victimize yourself over a concept you don’t understand and therefore won’t tolerate. You sound like an ass and I’m frankly not surprised they wanted to leave, I wouldn’t wanna be in that group either lol
i think we all need to realize we need to stop generalizing and realize that life is not black and white, and that everyone can have different experiences. this goes for everyone here. op could be right, the person they dealt with could’ve been difficult, but that doesn’t mean anyone that uses neo pronouns is the same way
Still, I stand by my belief that you’re blowing this person’s behavior way out of proportion based on how you’ve blown the concept of respecting neopronouns in general. You seem like someone who tends to turn mountains into molehills and I’m not shocked a person wouldn’t wanna hang around that, much less a group supporting it.
You have no fucking idea if it’s true, frankly, and it’s obnoxious how you’re acting like you know the whole situation based on things an anonymous person has said lol. I have no idea if this neo pronoun person is an ass, based on what OP had said I doubt it, but all you’re doing is just adding more dramatizing bullshit to the pile. You people are so pathetic lol
Frankly, it’s not up to you or me to decide what’s normal or standard when it comes to pronouns. If someone wants to switch them, let them, I don’t care because it is so easy to respect and follow. Truly, it is not that hard. Still, the fact that you’re making this whole thing about the pronouns and throwing that concept under the bus cements my assumption that all of this stems from you being uncomfortable with the concept and making yourself the victim in a situation that isn’t that serious.
This person was inventing words neither you nor me have ever heard before, stealthily replacing the old ones in their disc profile, saying nothing until someone inevitably gets it wrong, when they act like everyone is out to get them, and everyone has to go “omg I’m so sorry”, like wtf is this behavior
If you actually did you’d realize that not everyone who claims to be trans is sincere, you just jump to their defense from the instant you hear they might be. Ppl like OP is talking about are NOT sincere, they are frauds in need of attention and mental help.They do far more damage than anything OP has said or done.
There’s a problem in the trans community, and that is people can say who and what they are, and not actually believe it, and it’s obvious to real trans ppl. And it’s not fair for the rest, who’ve gone thru surgery, who’ve gone thru severe depression and suicidal thoughts due to dysphoria before transitioning, to humor these ppl
It’s actually not. I study sociology for a living. Race by definition is a construct. Gender identity is also. Both identities have the capacity to be inherent to your role as a person when you claim the titles but neither are necessarily biologically tied or “immutable” So again, why is it okay to suspect ALL people who claim that identity of being disingenuous?
If race is a construct exactly like gender identity then does that mean behavior like inventing several races unique only to you and cycling thru them is acceptable behavior? I don’t see that happen. What point could there be to Neo-Pronouns except to use them in a manipulative and self-aggrandizing way? It’s pretentious behavior at best, abuse at worst.
