@@brony_in_the_sticks - No; tomboys don't think they're male.

Or... "To what degree do I have to participate in your delusion?"

100%, that's how much you have to participate because the church told you to and the church told you to kill these people who don't participate 100% with yourself delusional self-image and your fairy tale sky god You see the problem is you're delusional self-image is also the delusional self image of the majority of people on earth because for thousands of years you had religion shoved down your throat under threat of death. The difference is they're self-image doesn't match your self delusion and so you react violently to preserve and protect your self delusion

Many wanted to, but we're afraid of having their careers cancelled (which did happen to many who spoke up). Everyone, on all sides, is being assaulted with menticide. As soon as you start making assumptions about others, and lumping large groups of people into small categories, then you are showing signs of being a victim of the menticide. It's not limited to Woke folk. What we need to do, and I do mean need, is to start helping each other out of insanity, not voice our own flavor.

People who believe in invisible sky daddies are also mentally unwell. I guess we should not collude with you either.

Brilliant!

I haven't heard of them pronouns before. They must be xeno-pronouns.

Love it. The VA has signs encouraging you to give your preferred pronoun. One time when I want to a doctor, upon entering the room, she asked me, "Do You Identify as D____D_____ (my name)? I said, "No, I AM D_______D_______!" Then she asked me do I identify as a male. I said, "No. I AM a male!" And the military wonders why recruiting is at all-time lows.

But you're a religious zealot even if you don't realize it you must do with the church tells you to do and the church in your religion tell you to reject anything outside of what we tell you is right or wrong and so you reject your entire basic reality in order to reject what they're saying and you just make yourself look dumb.

I'm a liberal. I don't "identify" as a liberal, I simply "observe" that my values are largely consistent with liberals. That leaves me free to depart from the "official" liberal narrative when appropriate. Like with this gender nonsense.

Perfect!

"What is a woman?" The gender identity stuff comes from feminist Judith Butler, who asserted that "all gender is performative", but this idea has now been extended to biological sex too. So a "girl" is instead referred to AFAB (Assigned Female at Birth") as opposed to just... _being_ female, since the doctor and midwife are "performing" the assignment based on visible characteristics (that are pretty clear in almost every case!). Don't ask how I know this - I am surrounded by performative wokery.

That will probably be my response too if I'm ever asked. I've just never given it any thought.

😂

Good one!

You're right it would blow their mind because I mean how could someone like you have never thought about it before so you know if I said hey she never thought about this before and I looked at you and said yes ma'am I guess you never thought about this before you wouldn't bat an eye Right? Because you never thought about it before right? People calling you her she and ma'am your whole life just wouldn't bother you right Oh wait a minute what you meant to say was you only use church approved pronouns

OMG, that is total hypocrisy. They just can not see it, with their agenda. I will never have that signature on my emails. It has to be mutual respect.

I am glad you use the phrase "needless to say" when standing on your convictions. The fact you see that as the default shows great integrity.

I would do as you did.

yikes, what a peeve!!!

In my area we had a Supervisor who started using "he/him" with his name. He did this not because he was trans, but because he was "virtue signaling". I called him out for it at the next Board of Supervisors meeting. I said he was putting "he/him" next to his name as if it was a form of transgender credentials. And than I went into the horrible details of medical genital mutilation, and how he is really promoting that when he uses "he/him" with his name. Shame on our so called leaders. Call them out every chance you can if they are promoting such evil.

I don't edit comments so I just deleted that comment but you should have a copy in your email I don't like censorship including self-censorship but I wanted to redo this message Yes God assigned you your gender at birth The reason that makes them quiet is because they realize that they can't help you out of your self delusion and you don't want help out of yourself delusion I mean 90% of the world is self-delusional and believes in a fairy tale sky god. This is partly because you don't understand where this comes from. Throughout most of human history at least once we started the form groups there are people who want to rule Kings emperors dictators presidents whatever They want to be rulers And that means they want to rule over people They want to control them manipulate them Make them do as they want basically you're their puppet. The problem is you're a puppet that has a mind which means you're capable of independent thought this makes it a little difficult to make you do what they want as their puppet you can only threaten people so much before you eventually run out of people then you have no puppets People are also more resistant to rulers who say do as I say. So we invented this interesting concept it's called religion and we fabricate this fairy tale sky god in the sky fiction and we declare you're not doing as I say You're doing as God says. This is why in many religions and many cultures the emperor is chosen by God so when you do what the emperor says you're doing what God says and people are more accepting of that it's easier to manipulate them To enforce this religion we created the church this helps to promulgate the religion and it's also an enforcement branch for those who resist and those who resist are murdered. So the reason they look at you like that is because they realize you can't be helped. You're not stumping or styming them they're just pitying you. And they're not telling you this because they know that that'll also make you angry.

Dumb dumb and dumber because those are titles not pronouns context it's really important and you should have learned this in grade school

I used to have a manager who I could very clearly see was a man, and used male pronouns....well, turns out that it was a female who went through the entire transitioning process to the point where even I could NOT tell that she used to be female😳. She even had a wife. I didn't know until the manager left that job to move to her home state. So it doesn't say much by saying "you can clearly see that I'm a man". I was deceived by going by what I SAW. And trust me, if you met this person, you would also be deceived. Some of them transition very well to where no one can tell.

I have to say though, that was by far the best managers I've ever worked with/under. I was secretly sad when she/he quit to move away. 😔 Kindest human being I've ever met.

The way I found out was by her legal name, which she hasn't changed, on the schedule list. For some reason God kept that info away from me until AFTER she quit, maybe because God knew I wouldn't want to comply with the male name that manager wanted to go by. For about 1-2 years, I didn't know the legal name and real gender of my manager.

In the past, these people were pushed out of society. Now, they are pushing back to be included. We've included so many of these half wits, that not only are we dumbing down our society, but we are pushing each person into a box. There are so many minority groups, like the trans and alphabet people that the segregation gaps are now so wide to distinctly cover each individual group. We are barely united and what once was the majority (biological men and women) has now become so marginalized that our opinions no longer count. We cannot go on like this for much longer without imploding. When societies get this far gone, there's war, and self destruction and the society falls. I'm just waiting for that, because that will force people to reunite and live just a bit better.

There's an additional benefit to the tactic. There will undoubtedly be some that won't cooperate. Those are the real snakes who don't care that they're asking you to be inauthentic.

It's so pathetic that you think answering the question with the pronoun you honestly use for yourself is "inauthentic". You're basically the type of snowflake that melts over anything.

Just like when someone is speaking to a crowd and says to bow our heads in prayer. Being an atheist, I ignore those instructions because I am not going to pretend to be something I am not.

​@@cnault3244No one's forcing you to pray so nothing to complain about. Seems like you're just here to spite people instead of making a valid argument.

@@commenter4563-xo2wt "No one's forcing you to pray" No one COULD force me to pray. The point is I am not going to bow my head and pretend to participate in their little ceremony, and if some of them notice I didn't and are offended, it is because they chose to take offense. "so nothing to complain about." Not participating in their ritual is NOT complaining about it. It's simply ignoring it.

Why do you think it's a game? Why not just state your name and your pronouns when asked and move on with the meeting?

It is a game @miconis123. But it is you that believes it is a game. Because you are asking others to participate in a game that should not be played when in a serious world. When a kid says he is a ninja at 5 years old it's fine. When you say you are a ninja at 25 years old, maybe your views shouldn't be taken seriously. Stop trying to play games with people that don't want to play. @@miconis123

I think I might play the game and say I identify as a Figure Using Characteristic Knowledge Enriching Reality.

@@miconis123 99.9% of the time it’s obvious if someone is male or female. If someone wants to deny their sex or gender is up to them but I believe it’s wrong to make me affirm their perception.

@@BrendanMurrayJubana Male and female are sex not gender and they're not the ones denying their gender. That would be the loudmouths who insist on choosing for them. Pretty damn arrogant

I have said the same thing. My complete statement is sometimes: "Most of us only have amateur nouns. Some people have semi-pro nouns. Only a select few have pro nouns."

"I'm not offended if you get it wrong." I'll bet you're not even offended if they get it right. I bet you don't even pretend they got it wrong. "CIS" stands for "correctly identified sex"

Are you a pro-crastinator, then?

@@MrStrikecentral STOP LABELING ME! Okay, LabelHater.

They really hate when people say they have proverbs.

I just say "Homey don't play dat."

I like that you'd just walk away. I will too if I can. When I've been asked, it was with a list of other things so I just skipped over that part.

It's a lie anyway. They weren't being polite, they were signaling their cancerous views. Walking away is the right play. Message received.

@@bujharvard9313 I like this one.
