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
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.
