I can tell everyone is overly sensitive about this pronoun thing for few years in LA. even waiters dont call us Ms. or maam anymore in case someone starts screaming at them.

never assume lol

Hi ley/lem!

Lol

No, you are a he...😂

Our pleasure! 😸

I don’t get any of this and neither do any of the people that I know and I’m American. It’s always about the money. These people claiming to be all these genders on social media have made tons of $$$ and gotten new followers and sponsors and so on. Es geht immer ums Geld!

As a american it makes zero sense even i don't get it

It's getting ridiculous as an American as well

I moved to Germany to escape this insanity

are you genderless?

You people need to revolt before it is too late.

Fellow American here, can confirm to the unfortunate idiocy permeating here

Correct!!…it is a shame !!

The American establishment will always come up with this race/genders intersecionalisms In order to curb any unified threat to their rule.

Yep. Total madness

ngl i would just keep misgendering them

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's too funny but un reality it's actually not funny at all because it's inssaaaaneeeee

You should have just told them to call the cops, since you aren't allowed to do it as a Starbucks partner and then the police would have come and taken that person away for harassment and public misconduct lol.

Call the cops 😂😂 for what..? Cops not even have time to deal with real crime.. they won't come, at least in our country, just becuse somone is offended.. 😂 I would start laughing and say call them, tell them you are offendet so you have right to take they time off for some real crimes.. Some child is losing life while you taking time from the police because of hurt ego.. 😅

I am so glad that this had not really made it to Germany. I hope this is a new thing that stays in the US and does not come over....

Because coerced speech isn’t abuse? Lol I’m sick of actually abusive people claiming others are being abusive to them. It’s like when a manipulative person goes to therapy they just learn to be more manipulative.

It’s honestly very cringe. My friend in Berlin is having issues with two people at the moment who take over conversations to police their speech and make sure they address certain people certain ways… it’s extremely rude and disrespectful yet they believe they are doing something good. I said they are just “Virtue Signallers” and he said that in Germany they are called „Gutmensch“.

Gutmensch is not the same, that's actually a very sad word putting down humanitarian people who have compassion... basically that Christian culture conservatives claim Europe is based on.

​@@undeadwerewolves9463wait why and how they take conversations to the police? and do the police actually do anything?

Did it happen in English or Geman ? I think Germans are more relaxed cause they don't mind to correct you, that's everyday part of language. But Americans feel offended by beeing corrected and have a moral dilemma to stay polite. If you are not allowed to be corrected, you need to prohibit assumptions and ask each individual. It's completly logical, but also very unefficient and unpractical.

can't be worried, otherwise it would be the end of comedy

@@RadicalLiving That is brave but they could shadow ban you

@@DemonOfEndor depending on the meaning of the word, we are all shadowbaned anyway. My tiny KZfaq account is still shadowbaned after 2 years, because I wrote words like the opposite of the word "beautiful" (so the word that starts with "u" and ends in "ly"). I never insulted anyone. Now, after 2 years, if I do not like my own comments, they do not appear to other people here. Apart from other (way) more important things, I would never go to vote for a party, if it does not promise me, that it will sanction all internet social media (Facebook, Twotter, KZfaq, Instagram, all of them) that do not show comments of commentators, or who deleted accounts based solely on the content of their comments. They should only legally be able to do so, in cases of spamming, phishing attempts, or other fraudulent or dishonest activities that can physically or financially damage people. Needless to say, that in my (small) country (Greece), there is not a single party that offers that, and this is why not a single person my age that I know of, goes to vote. Naturally, the same cr*p is everywhere in the world.

​@@RadicalLivingyoutube police sucks, I hope they don't attack you

@@RadicalLiving not punching down on marginalized minorities would be "the end of comedy"? oh please...

Glad you enjoyed it

honestly, if you don't wanna know about microlabels, it's fine as long as you understand that you don't understand and respect trans people as much as you would any other person

I was told by someone who sounded male (but was actually gender fluid) the following: "If I'm wearing female clothing like a dress or nylons, my pronouns are she/her. If I'm wearing what is obviously male clothing, use he/him." Like this obviously doesn't apply to everyone, but I thought it was helpful.

@@JM-kj3dx You are correct that there are things I don't understand. Here's one eample: I was looking at a list of 107 genders. There seems to be a lot of overlap and I'm really not sure what the difference is between some of them. Like, I might label myself as any one of the following: Cis Cisgender Cis male Cis man Heterosexual Male Man Straight Is there a difference or are they just different ways to say the same thing? Please don't misunderstand me. I'm all for people being who they are, and I'm aware there's a lot I don't understand.

@@chrishansen9379 ok, I'm glad you're willing to learn, let's break it down let's get the ones that are the same out of the way "cis" is most often a shortened version of "cisgender" in this context although it can be a Latin suffix in other contexts cis male = cis man and that's someone whose AGAB(assigned gender at birth) and gender identity are both male, cis male's just a bit more "scientific" heterosexual = straight this one's a sexuality, and straight is just a slang term for heterosexual and male and man can most of the time be used interchangeably and would include trans men those whose (AGAB) is female but whose gender identity is male (e.g. Jammidodger, Eliot Page) in contrast to cis male/man wich would exclude them I hope you can understand it better now, don't be afraid to ask if not 🤗

@@JM-kj3dx Thanks for taking the time to explain this, it helps.

Same in Slavic languages, but usually we just use male gender to indicate profession, with a lot of exceptions of course, so it will be Doctor, Musician, Programmer, actor, surgeon, novelist, literally every medical profession we use in male gender, meanwhile if u use this words in female gender it won't be mistake but just gonna sound super weird. I found it just as a matter of habit in language, but perhaps for women recognition we have to change this habit and use female gender more often.

Slavic languages are different too. Czech, for example, usually makes the distinction. Most Slavic languages have feminine versions of words but the usage can vary from obligatory to rare.

@@thisismycoolnicknameYes, same as polish

Worry not mate, it can get fixed - like Sweeds got "hen". And it should be pretty easy noting that "Mädchen" or "Weib" are already gernder neutral (i still dont get the reasons behind it, hehe). But ye, in Polish we already got something like "zrobiłOm" (i made/ich habe gemacht) as 'gender neutral' form (masculine is "zrobiłEm", feminine "zrobiłAm"; the neutral form (like das) in 3rd person would be actually "zrobiło" [like a kid made something]). I mean, ofc its still kind of twitter/instagram-bio-language but since Polish grammar is pretty complicated and this shit somehow works, i guess simmilar rules could get applied to other European languages - like Spanish or German. Think about it: like for instance "MechanikerOn" instead of "Mechaniker/Mechanikerin". And then you just have to apply this rule to every single name of profession. Voila! ps. I didnt mean to offend anyone :(. If anyone wants me to refer to them as "they/them", i dont really mind.

No, we capped it at 3 gender with male, female and whatever, others, diverse etc..

I think you don't get it. The humour is from the view of people who never heared about this topic anything at all. There is no foundation to do any discussion, or to be hardliner or softliner. Imagine you explain this to people from Mars ... then you get the humour.

from what i have seen it's particularly 'big' in the USA because these tendencies got too much attention on socials; community grew larger from 2016 i would think because before you never heard of it in europe, i would say it hit europe in 2019 and then people got too much* time during covid exposed to socials media algorithm & so on, they had too little struggle in life so they invented fights they have with themselves which is quite weird since everyone only care about themselves so yeah don't worry it doesn't make sense for others

Exactly. They are too identified with labels and identities, to an unhealthy extent.

@jonharris1654 you should have just called the Mental Asylum and report some crazy mentally ill people are free and should just come over and get these freaks out where they belong lol...

I find that "male", "female", "diverse", and/or "rather not to say" should be good enough. It covers over 90% of population who are happy with traditional options, and also gives a couple place holders for whomever feels they don't fit in traditional options... I must say I am cis-gender, so of course I'll always be a bit biased, in opposition to people that don't agree with these options being "good enough". 😅

Sad that the movie industry executives aren't smart as in your company and we get movies for

Ever heard of punctuation?

Orrr you could have just made it a text field and anyone could have written whatever they want, plus add an edit function for the case they wanted to change it. Not to say that wanting to include a list of 75 genders wasn't dumb, but there was a solution to that instead of just scrapping it

damn right

Thank you! Will do!

You. I like you.

So true! Many cultures have deities that are both, and/or recognize that individuals can be both genders. There is a duality in us all. I feel like people have generally forgotten this and I don’t know why they have negative reactions to other people’s identification. It doesn’t affect me in any way, and these people have always been with us.

​@@stephaniebates1504 Except when someone starts screaming at you, and a mob forms around you, because you said "Hi ma'am" To someone. The problem is the extreme reactions. Why yell, and create conflict when a simple "Please I prefer ..." Would do? But our culture promotes conflict. Heck, we are considered the more Warlike Nation in the history of the world (according to some).

@@thelred-ph3lq I'm actually a very snippy person, and even I just calmly correct someone, cause they have no way of knowing in advance. And so do all of my trans friends. Idk what kinda people you meet

Wait so you think having a gender other than the traditional masculine and feminine ones is insanity? That’s a pretty low bar. Guess everyone’s insane then. Try curiosity instead of judgement next time Sex is about biology, gender is about society. If you’re actually interested in learning more, there’s also more than two sexes. A lot of people are born intersex where they don’t have clear male or female reproductive organs. Some cultures also have third and fourth genders and have had them for centuries or millennia (Google hijras if you’re interested). It’s actually pretty interesting!

trans people are just the boogeymen of the day, funny how most people didn't have an issue with them or weren't as vocal about it, until this very year, it's almost like they could mind their own business...

I was struggling with that one

@@AlexWinkler Even as a Queer person, I struggle with neo-pronouns, the ones outside of she, he or they. Fortunately, most people use they/them, I've a friend who also goes by that but prefer ze/hir.

You can improve your country , and demand that it does not destroy other countries that try to improve themselves (in a way your governments do not like).

​​@@tomorrowneverdies567 See, that's what these weird, niche issues are engineered to distract Americans from though. If you've got people arguing about xenogenders like it's a serious societal issue, they aren't thinking about the mind-boggling amount of Victorian era type problems this country has. That's why politicians encourage it while doing absolutely nothing in office, but making money off industry bribes.

So glad^^ Always!

Yes! Especially because the same half dozen endings are recycled endlessly. Slavic languages are simpler that way. Each thing has its own ending for the most part.

Thanks again!

interesting, thanks for sharing your insight!

That's the point I've been trying to say. This is how some of them/they/whatever have been using to overpower others they/them/whatever are just using it to feed their narcissistic or, sociopathy or psychopathy on others. Like the man who used it to be allowed on a women's swim competition and won. He can identify however but it's physiology is still a man's!!! Not right for more than that one person (if it is ok to call it a person) sorry I'm just getting tired of writing they/them or whatever is desired by .... It!?!?.

Yes, some trans people commit crimes. If someone is being predatory, then call them out for being predatory, not for how they identify. Of course if you're gonna try to deny someone's identity at the same time as accusing them of crimes, people are gonna be suspicious of you, cause that will make it seem like you have other motives for making the accusation. That's just how it works - descriptively, not prescriptively. And that phenomenon is largely due to how transphobes like to call *all* trans people predators, as a blanket statement, which dilutes it and makes it harder to out *actual* predators - it's become a well-known negative stereotype, and as a result, people try to account for that bias

@@Unelith You've missed my point. I'm not saying that all transpeople are predatory for simply being trans. However, I am saying that there are a few people out there who pick up a special identity after they have done something predatory and been outed as such, and then play that card anytime that someone holds them accountable for their actions. (Like, "Oh, but you're just saying that because I am trans and you think all transpeople are predatory." when there was 0 indication that the person was saying that it applied to every single transperson, kind of like how you have done in the reply to me.)

@@nikkibee187I'm not saying what you thought I was saying either. I guess we've missed each other points then

At one time Berlin used to lead the world in trans rights but sadly that ended in 1933.

Same here. I'm so distracted......

😂😂😂😂 offended ? You can always call it Fuck/Off Please.

Honestly I HATE maam or madam cos to me it's like you are literally telling me "Hi person who obviously looks middle aged, I can see and I am acknowledging that you look middle aged or older." BUT I have literally said to people before "My name is (name) I know it sounds silly but I prefer to be called that instead of madam or maam. PLEASE." But I think it's cultural and also in some jobs they're probably told they HAVE to use Madam or maam but I'd literally rather be called Miss. God, I'd SO much rather just be called my name. I know its not the same but yeah I think I get it a little more now about the gender thing. And it doesn't hurt me to address someone by their preferred pronounds so I'm happy to do that.

@@empressofawesome7099Not everyone knows your name, it's a lot better than 'hey! you!'.

​@@empressofawesome7099 Thank you for letting us know, madam. I think God gave you the right to be called madam, there is nothing wrong or shameful in that. You see, I would like to be called Mr.President and nobody calls me like that. Instead they call me Sir, sometimes, and it is so offensive to me... I think people lose their common sense with every day that passes. Not gonna be surprised if soon instead of Mr we will use "Helicopter". All the best from middle-aged Mr or Sir, I don't really mind which one. Because I know who I am and appreciate people being polite to me.

I'm not sure it all about how they feel and perhaps more how they want control and easy access to harness others. Im ok with gay I'm not ok with them using this to beat women in sports or have bathroom privileges where they true nature of their perversion can be utilized . It's happening.

@@sublimnalphish7232 what do you mean "perversion"? Do you think being gay is a perversion?

Just a "little bit" 😂? Dudes went a light year too far

You're correct. They've moved so far left that they're off the spectrum! Gender Identity should be what's visible to others - your look, your clothes, biology. What you feel and what your preferences are shouldn't determine that. You could be born a male biologically and might grow up to be whatever. You'll still be male if you "appear male" to others. People should stop being touchy about it or they should tattoo their identity on their forehead so people can be addressed the right way. One's "state of mind" is within and not obvious. Today people have started to stereotype - if one is male they have to be a certain way. If they're trance, they should be a different way. Why not just keep behaviour, preference and emotions out of this? One should have freedom to do as they please with no discrimination. Someone can be male and still do feminine/whatever stuff. Why give yourself a new label?

⁠@@miguplno but what I think is wrong is that on the the US the pride parades are slowly becoming mad with people naked on the or in BDSM clothing, fine that they like it but showing that on the street with children nearby shouldn’t be allowed

Haha. You're lying. Lgbtqhdtv is only around 2% of the world population. Straights are a majority by 98%
