You might want to look at Europe, Ukraine, or North Korea

What??? What on earth does that mean? How can you possibly compare these three areas?

North Korea is the epitome of dictatorship and something that Trump aspires to. When you have tanks rolling down your main streets "celebrating" your "dear leader" remember that that is what Putin and Kim Jong Un do.

In the UK you can get arrested for simply posting a facebook post.

The people that were arrested were arrested for stirring up racial hatred during the riots last year.

Germany, Romania, France, and Ukraine have all made it illegal for various opposing political parties to even run in "elections".

Germany; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibited_political_parties_in_Germany

France; Le Pen was convicted of fraud.

Romania; Don't know much about it but it seems that they were concerned about Russian interference.

Ukraine; Ukraine are at war. You don't have elections when you are at war. Yes I know America does but you have not had a war on your soil since 19th century and America is not the world.

Authoritarianism is alive and well in the world and if Kamala Harris had won, I think we would have continued down that path in America. Thankfully the masses spoke and elected our great President in a free and fair election.

Yeah... NO! You have no idea. Stop watching Fox news and try to get a global perspective on things.

There's no point trying to debate maga duckspeak.

I would venture to say they weren't addressing cis people like me to always offer pronouns preferences. Still, I can stand corrected and ignore that as my pronouns are obvious and conform to society.

But thanks for the lecture. You didn't look any of that up to enlighten yourself and to be more woke. You did so to mock and seem triggered.

99% of us don't need to identify pronouns but if someone does I respect them. As a woke cis gay man, I didn't get that memo.

I saw a MAGA recently say "I have no pronouns" ...um someone want tell her. Guess it's a trigger.

But you weren't confused or ignorant when you said him.

I told you how that felt and reading "a man pretending to be a woman". That's all. You do you. I'm triggered but grown.

Heh.

Heading back to the zeitgeist now. Will continue to monitor.

Who were they addressing?

It seems you didn't read the section on not assuming pronouns based on appearance ir anything else?

Yes, I did look that up to mock. And, there it was for me. It wasn't hard and if it wasn't there, I wouldn't be able to mock, would I? C'mon....you can't admit that much of that is ridiculous?

How is this a defense to deliberately misgendering a trans person?

Trump hardly aspires to be a NK style dictatorship. You need to get off the propaganda outlets. The main reason Musk helped Trump win the election is because they look at things from a worldwide scale. Europe has fallen into authoritarianism in many nations as I said. In the United States during peak covid times we saw people's rights stripped away from them and it was the most horrifying human rights violation in US history since FDR imprisoned the Japanese in internment camps.

UK "Racial Hatred" is an excuse, people are allowed to speak their minds. Freedom is speech is important and this is the reason why our right to firearms is so paramount.

German just made it illegal for the AFD to run in elections even though they are becoming more popular. This is fascism at hand and eerily similar to Nazi germany.

Ukraine you had Zelensky shut down non state run forms of media and halt elections. If the democracy in Ukraine had never been overthrown in 2014 by extremist groups supported by NATO/EU/USA they would never be in this situation. Hopefully Putin's liberation of the Ukranian people is complete soon. At least the hundreds of billions of dollars stolen from United States citizens to fund Zelensky's dictatorship has come to an end. Biden needs to be imprisoned for his role in this.

Fox News? I don't even have that channel. Try again and wake up. Thank god the United States voted against fascism, we don't need Kamala and the demoncrats dictating every facet of our everyday life.

I didn't misgender anyone. I used a pronoun that Tweety is speculating would be offensive to the person.

Hahaha

Imprison a president for carrying out constitutional duties as funded by Congress?

That's funny since the SCOTUS said that presidents are immune from prosecution if they believe they are carrying out the duties of the job.

It's not a defense of misgendering, it's a celebration of that kind of behavior and thinking.

Well, whatever it's called, it's dishonest and deliberately offensive. What's so tragic (for him) is that he's spending so much energy trying to win a culture war that's already over. Non-binary and transgender people are real - and have been for as long as the human species has existed. The first sex-reassignment surgery in the US happened over half a century ago. The only things in flux are gendered languages, etiquette and equal protection of the law.

Are you referring to me? If so, you misgendered me by using the wrong pronoun, and I'm offended. I thought this group was inclusive?

I went out of my way yesterday to let you know the pronouns that shall be used for me. They're in my profile if you missed it.
