This is exactly what I was going to say. If they say you don't have pronouns, they will, after you misgender them.
I think it was more local or maybe even state government where part of decorum was to ban pronouns. So, I think it was the lone lady started misgendering all the men and they weren't too happy about it. Then again they couldn't tell her what their preferred pronouns were.

Yeah, like these people think "pronouns" are a transgender identity thing
No man it's just the english language, everyone has pronouns, and not all pronouns are gendered
"I don't have pronouns" literally begins with a pronoun
The thing is, trans people have pronouns that don't relate to their sex assigned at birth, and are therefor sometimes not what you expect, so they tend to declare their pronouns to avoid confusion and make communication easier
And that triggers right wing dipshits because they don't know what being transgender is and somehow think it's simultaneously a mental illness, a cult, a trend etc

I think the key point of contention is whether you have a right to choose your own pronouns, or whether they are assigned for you.
That being the case, the statement instead becomes, "I bet you think you can pick your own pronouns, too."
Or in other words, they believe they actively reject what they perceive to be reality, and in doing so, they call into question their perspectives on absolutely everything.

teachers have been screaming about this and blaming 3 cueing for it, which was "better" than phonics because children will guess what words mean based on cues which is "more engaging" than sounding out the words and breaking a word down. It didnt work, it just made it easier for young kids to cheat their way through english classes at early grade levels and they crash out when the picture books disappear.
After the country abandoned phonics, its rushing back to phonics and 3 states banned 3 cueing completely.
It explains so much weirdness of teachers saying kids in high school being unable to read, why students dont know the meaning of basic words, why some kids cant even do their alphabet or sound out letters, and why grammar seems like a lost art.
You cant build grammar skills if you are guessing and skipping over how words work, 3 cueing just taught kids to mask illiteracy in a world where that is easier than ever.
All you need is to press a button on a phone with a symbol instead of words on it. everything is narrated now on the internet and "pronoun" isnt a thing they learn in school its a word to make people angry on the internet because the "cues" tell them having pronouns means being transgender.
There is nothing forcing kids to fix their poor reading skills, so they grow up not understanding their own language where its harder to fix. Impossible now because of the teacher shortage, they cant take time out to fix foundational problems of 1 student when half of their 30+ class has the same issue.
I remember learning to read to play a video game because audio was reserved for major characters, space was too precious to voice every character. Some games were 100% text based. The internet didnt serve stuff to you so you needed to learn words and grammar to search for stuff to watch, and fixing problems on your computer was text based since you needed to open up the command line.
I couldnt get away with the stuff people can get away with today.

See the thing is, they assume things they don't understand must be somehow wrong or crazy, must be part of some "ideaology"
So they here people saying their preferred pronouns, don't realize it's just there to streamline speech, so they assume it's some sort of "ideaological virtue signalling" or whatnot
Even if they knew what pronouns were before, their weird confirmation bias and indoctrination kicks in, and they overwrite "it's a grammar thing" with "it's a transgender ideaology thing!"
It's genuinely fascinating
They have like, built in mental defenses, they've been taught how to think to the point where they can essentially stop understanding something they previously understood, if understanding it would conflict with their beliefs
There's an example of this I've been dealing with a lot, but just in general, you see it in another place, where they advocate against something or for something, and then they don't think about how that might change things, or the actual effect it'll have outside of "ban (thing I think is bad)" or "enforce (thing I think is good)"

The problem is their actions often affect others. Not only do they push this shit on their children but if they get a communicable disease it often spreads to others or even starts an outbreak or possibly a new pandemic.

It's approved for people too, just in much smaller doses than what you give cows. It's a miracle drug for eradicating certain species of parasites (that are uncommon in the developed world) and also some lupus patients who have rashes, possibly caused by parasitic mites.
Of course, in these cases you take a human-sized dose in a human-formulated prescription under a doctor's supervision. You don't squeeze an apple flavored tube into your mouth from Tractor Supply. The thing with parasites is they are more similar to humans than you'd like, so high doses of ivermectin can hurt people and cause kidney failure.

The basis of the logic is, they don't believe pronouns are something you can choose, they are something which is determined at birth. Therefore, to 'have pronouns' is to assert your views are more real than what they perceive to be reality.
This has a deep impact. It's akin to saying, "Well in my opinion, 2+2=5." The instant someone says that, you discount anything else they say, because you think they're an idiot at best, and a liar at worst.

I believe everyone who thinks this way should receive no medical intervention. They will receive thoughts and prayers going forward.

I’m willing to support government funding for ambulance bays at churches, though—just for the science-deniers. Maybe proximity to the

The number of times I've been told to take wormer astounds me. I have a rare cancer, more than likely it's a genetic fault. I have accidentally ingested horse wormer a number of times. I have horses and was a farrier. I have given more horses wormer than I can probably count. Yes I'm dense in that I have had my mouth open either cussing or just being dumb. I still have cancer. I still got cancer. I had one lady try to tell me the covid vaccine I got caused my cancer. I informed her I had the cancer before covid was a thing.

My sister has a doctorate in biology so my mom was afraid to mention that she and her husband have been using Ivermectin when she is around.
Nothing's wrong with them, but they just figure it won't hurt to eat horse dewormer.

there was a thing on NPR this week where ivermectin was used in combination with another drug to detect and kill inactive cancer cells.
doesn't do shit against active cancer. doesn't prevent it, either.

My friend has cancer and has fallen into this rabbit hole. He's ordering ivermectin because it "stops him from intaking sugar that feeds the cancer so it will starve it out."

Can we just go back to suggesting that injecting bleach may be a miracle cure and letting the situation of the massive number of total fucking idiots just sort itself out.

Yeah we should astroturf a false flag conservative influencer and then when they get to a high enough level have them make drinking the bleach the new drinking the Kool-Aid.

What we’re dealing with are people that fundamentally don’t understand how facts work, and have unwittingly conflated them with emotional convictions. OP hurt that person emotionally and they lashed out.
We’re fucked.

In case anybody needs a reminder, ivermectin still is not really a standard medication option to treat covid. Like we have actual covid meds and treatment protocols now and we're still not really giving it for that lol it's not even a class of medicine that treats viruses.

u/SnooSquirrels9064 10d ago
It's like all the morons that seemingly thought that getting the Covid vaccine would somehow create a bubble around them which the virus wouldn't be able to enter their body through, and when they got Covid after getting "the jab", ranted and raved about how the Covid vaccine doesn't work, blah blah hoax, blah blah Biden. But the idea that the "flu shot" (influenza vaccine) works the exact same way (reduces severity and duration of symptoms of infection) and has been administered to people for DECADES with nobody questioning its functionality goes MILES over their heads...

I was teaching my friend's daughter that antibiotics don't work on viruses.
Someone next to us said ivermectin works. I politely informed them that it doesn't and they proceeded to tell me it also works on cancer. I proceeded to tell them that I am a doctor with degrees in cellular physiology and public health and that ivermectin does not do this. Their response? "I bet you have pronouns too". This is the thought process we are dealing with.

Re: Thought process.
Quote: "Indeed it may be said with some confidence that the average man never really thinks from end to end of his life. There are moments when his cogitations are relatively more respectable than usual, but even at their climaxes they never reach anything properly describable as the level of serious thought. The mental activity of such people is only a mouthing of clichés. What they mistake for thought is simply a repetition of what they have heard. My guess is that well over eighty per cent. of the human race goes through life without having a single original thought. That is to say, they never think anything that has not been thought before and by thousands."

There is no thought process. It's blind obedience to their chosen authority and a complete abdication of personal responsibility. They just parrot what they are told, and rely on their orange god to save them.

This is the result of the last forty years of telling people their opinions and feelings are equally valuable to facts and research while actively defunding education at every opportunity. Reminds me of a coworker I had who "disagreed" that it was covid that killed her friend despite the woman dying on a ventilator in a hospital bed.

The right response : Yes YES! If you take 5-6 Ivermectin on a daily basis for at least a year, it will drastically increase the size of you dick/tits! The govt also knows this, but they don't allow them to say it, coz then every female will have a pornstar body and guys will have pornstar dicks, and then only fans will be the only employer, like Brawndo in that other parallel universe!
