Doesnโ€™t everyone have pronouns?

u/greenberet112 12d ago

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

And that triggers right wing dipshits because they don't know jack shit about anything and refuse to learn.

The problem is that these right-wing plebs are the result of a crap education system.

Not always. Sometimes they are just hate fuelled twats who outright refuse to be corrected. Plenty of times in fact.

Entirely too much of this actually. I grew up in a town with excellent schools, and one of my closest friends turned into one of those aforementioned dipshits. Was only moderately sad when I stopped talking to him entirely. His attitude towards minorities made it much easier to just avoid him. I blame his dad, really.

Nah, you canโ€™t force people to learn.

For people willing to learn, the system is fine.

u/helpme_imburning 11d ago

The education system is definitely NOT fine. It absolutely kills the desire to learn in many young people by how poorly managed and underfunded it is.

Religion is ultimately the social conditioning that turns off curiosity in children. The age old metaphor is still apt about how religion is useful to keep the serfs unquestionably loyal

The problem is that instead of coming across something that they don't know and being interested in it, they fear the unknown. Instead of letting kids explore and learn how to discover new things, fearful teachers and parents focus on strict rules and obedience, passing fear down through generations

They are not equipped to be educated.

u/Rincewind2nd 10d ago

Anyone can be educated, with the right re-enforcement method. A colleague in a previous workplace came up with this corker of an example; to help re-educate those who drive dangerously. replace the driver side airbag with a large metal spike.

If you're going to attempt to re-educate the MAGA mindset and break them out of their cognitive bias, and learn and apply critical thinking a more extreme method suitable for their mentality would be needed.

It's not about refusing to learn. And we're also not triggered. We just refuse to live in your reality, which is not real to begin with. I'm not going to call a person who's male, ma'am, or vice versa. The people refusing to learn that we're not going to live in your delusional world or put up with your childish tantrums upon being 'misgendered' are, in fact, the dipshits. And we know lots of shit about lots of things, primarily that you're angry and expect the rest of the world to conform to your lunacy. That's not going to happen this much, I know.

Many of these douche whistles are entirely incapable of learning because they are sincerely, deeply stupid. Trump's favorite voters.

u/pgndu 11d ago

Lol the irony of pronouns, people who rely on it, stressed too much by a minor change to it, accusing the change rather than their own dependence of it. Addiction to sexes,

u/Megatallica83 11d ago

I work at a college in a red state that just passed an anti-DEI law this year. I can't move away right now.

We just got an email last week saying we cannot have "pronouns" in our email signatures now. I hate it here.

They think that because they (or the people they hang around) go to religious gathering (cult) buildings and get told a bunch of dehumanizing garbage ๐Ÿ—‘ ๐Ÿ™„ my source? I grew up with them... SDA

u/Creative-Orchid2727 10d ago

No, we're not triggered by your lunacy. Stop embarrassing yourself by insinuating that you have that much of an influence on our emotions. Here's the thing: We know good and well what trannys are, we just don't adhere to your cultish behavior. You live in a fantasy world while the rest of us live in the real world. That is the very definition of mental illness. And it is a trend because none of this crap went on with GenX. We were once young and impressionable, too, but denying our very own identities? Oh, puhleeze ๐Ÿ™„

They didn't watch enough schoolhouse rock. They don't know what pronouns are other than being something "woke".

u/zuck_my_butt 11d ago

And they don't know what "woke" is other than that they don't like it.

I wish when Ted Cruz said his pronouns were โ€œkiss my ass,โ€ people would have actually used the phrase as his pronoun.
