Trump, the suspect of multiple federal investigations and investigations in multiple states, twice impeached and removed from officeby the American voters in 2020, COMPLETE SORE LOSER (He is the definition of an entitled snowflake because he whines over a loss that he pretends he won), unpatriotic white nationalist TRASH and authoritarian dictator wannabe (he wants to destroy our democracy while political GQP hacks and trash/clown media (I.e. Fox Noise and white nationalist media outlets) mimic his stupidity) Is raided by the FBI:
No, it was me. Beerman recently remarked that it is ridiculous to worry about pronouns for the sake of the small minority population of transgendered people. Since cis-males are a minority too, I figured I would take her at her word.
That is a gross mischaractorization of what I said.
Bingo. It's an election year. We always get these new accounts in election years.
Bingo - We always get totally legit FBI raids and FBI arrest during key election cycles on the current opposing parties candidates. Like has been since Ab Lincoln.
Wait..........?

I'm interested in what you did say?
And so everyone knows, what's your preferred pro-nouns?

I read her post wrong the first time. So I take my comment back.
We had a bigger discussion, but in short, the whole preferred pronoun fad is ridiculous.

Calling preferred pronouns a ridiculous fad is kind of like saying sexual orientation is a "lifestyle choice". Or why some people (not saying you) are enraged when somebody else wears a mask.
In all cases it starts out as what somebody else is saying about themselves. What often follows that is ridicule, and reductio ad absurdum within groups of people who don't identify with that group of people. To me, that's what is ridiculous.
Along those lines, I remember when I was discussing marriage equality with a friend he said, "Oh yeah if a man can marry a man is it OK if I marry a garden gnome?" Discrimination based on sexual orientation is not ridiculous, but that comment certainly was.
The backlash on this is insane compared to when printed forms included a little checkbox for "Ms" along with Miss and Mrs. Perhaps they've dropped those altogether.

As I mentioned, it was a long discussion. Perhaps before commenting you should realize you're missing out on that discussion.

Yep... in fact you are having a difficult time admitting that you were wrong about George Floyd maybe dying with the help of drugs or Floyd being elevated as a martyr by Democrats. You are unable to support those two things that you said or implied but you are struggling to admit that you were mistaken. Instead you accused me of moving the goal posts that you setup with your remarks.

No need. Your opinion that the "pronoun fad" is ridiculous can stand on its own, right? That means that it shouldn't matter one tiny bit which pronouns are used to address anyone... it's all ridiculous.
Oddly, it seems to bother some when you identify as male but are repeatedly and intentionally referred to by other pronouns... almost as if using correct pronouns could be a matter of respectful discourse. Hmm

You are very perceptive. There are few here that collectively have thousands and thousands of posts. Have never been wrong. Ever.
Some are very selective, too, about who and when evidence and proof to back up a opinion is needed.
Likely then that those types know certain things are true, but want to stall or deflect discussion until you find the information, that of course to be valid has to come from their favored and approved sources.

Since I've admitted to having been wrong in these threads more than once I'm clearly shouldn't be in that group of a few...
What other types of people would you like to group according to your personal opinions of their comments?
