Yes I know America does but you have not had a war on your soil since 19th century and America is not the world. 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.
May 7, 20251 yr 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.

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.

You did so to mock and seem triggered. 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?

Stop watching Fox news and try to get a global perspective on things. 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.

May 8, 20251 yr 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.
May 8, 20251 yr heron said: How is this a defense to deliberately misgendering a trans person? 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.

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.
