Seems like something that really shouldn't get you all riled up. Quoting: Harry Dresden You will address us as King. You shall forevermore address me as “Lord Coward” of the clan anonymous. My pronoun is “my lord” or “me lord” Any other greetings, salutations or referrals shall be deemed a challenge to be settled by a duel. To the death. |

Oh and by the way I resent the power trip some people are on that are using ridiculous made up pronouns and trying to force me to use them because they get off on bullying me and the power they feel they have over me to compel speech as calling them your Royal Highness or Zer. Do you libtards see the problem here. This isn't about manners. This is violating my rights and trying force speech out of me that I may not remember or not comfortable saying. |

It's one thing to call a trans woman a she if she looks like woman or is making the effort to look like a woman. I don't have problem with that. What I do have problem with is the made up pronouns such Zer, Zee or your Royal Highness etc. It is quite clear some people are using pronouns to bully the rest of us with. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78526532 United States 08/11/2021 01:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You have no idea how twisted this gets in higher ed. I teach at a university and we have around 20 different preferred pronouns in use, including those for who identify and non-human. So far, it's all been voluntary and *recommended*, because covid kind of put a break on this particular nonsense for the past year (we normally have about ten layers of pc nonsense to deal with at any time). But I'm sure the little tyrants will require it soon. Anything to soothe the feelings of the snowflakes and keep them enrolled and paying. I'm a couple years away from retirement and counting the days at this point. |

User ID: 80701320 Canada 08/11/2021 02:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Took him days to calm down, he's still unsettled and now uncomfortable with his job. Unfortunately it's a great, high paying job to boot, so it's not so easy just to walk away. In the end he may have to though. How have you dealt with it? So...I have a question; If they have the right to be offended because we do not use the proper fucking pronoun when addressing these fuckwits-and btw I have heard of pronoun preferences changing as well from time to time- then why the hell do we not have the right to be offended in having to used all these different pronouns? I mean you said it yourself that your brother is now uncomfortable at work...due to something that is being imposed on him by the workplace. One could conclude that he is being forced to work under duress could one not? We need to start playing by these idiots rules...right back at them. Sorry to hear your brother has to deals with this bullshit. Religion has no place in golf... |

Life was more simple when you had he or she and if you looked like a dude you were called he and if you looked like a female you were called she. It was easy to remember. Now we are being asked under the threat of punishment to remember to address people with what ever made up bullshit pronoun that some attention seeking whore comes up with on any given day. |

Seems like something that really shouldn't get you all riled up. Quoting: Harry Dresden When they and them are used in the English languge it refers to the plural or others, several, many. Not a singular person. I an e-mail chain this leads to confusion. We need to set up a meeting with you , me, and them. How many do you prepare for in attendance. 3? 6? 20? I worked on a video shoot. Someone used they and them in the cast lists. We had 25 extras sitting around for hours before they were sent home WITH PAY! This just adds confusion because of a confused person.
