Meta Mistake - Social Media Is Sucio

[TummieGaruda]

This is how I felt about the manner, although the language we're using is going to get distilled down to 'safer' words in the offchance some snowflake gets offended, which we can't have in a workplace since upset customers or wasting time asking people their preferred calling is unproductive.


God forbid you ever end up in a situation where you're talking about more than one person, where one of them prefers they/them crap when trying to address one person in the group.



You're just calling for people to actively censor people because someone might use it in bad faith? Granted in that example it's a bit more obvious the intent, vs prior ones.


Was mentioned last page, although it does show off one of the more recent toys added to Twitter where people can add context to a tweet (which probably won't show in the embed):

Isn't this information widely available? I thought that if you knew the tail number, you could track planes publicly. Sports athletes plans are often tracked by fans during free agency to see what teams they are visiting.

If I respect you? Sure, whatever you want that's reasonable and I can remember.

If I don't respect you? Fuck you. Your pronouns are now "that" and "asshole".

I always picture you as a less regionally specific Joe Pesci sort of character.

[kuronosan]

this is a scenario that people make up in their heads though, not one that actually is a part of their lived experience

trans people know if you're misgendering them on purpose

Just offering an alternate explanation to give Spicy the benefit of the doubt x's begging for.

[Spicyryan]

to give Spicy the benefit of the doubt

Appreciated, but it also be better to just clarify.

For example, I get frustrated at the "ze, xim, shim" whichever pronouns both because of ignorance and because at this point as a provider it has me questioning the sincerity of their gender identity.

I already read enough journals about patients wanting amputations because they identify as paraplegic amputees, I think a line does need to be drawn somewhere and conversations about it should not be demonized.

[archibaldcrane]

Now, they can accomodate and respect me and my lexicon by picking a pronoun that isnt a madeup word.

has this been a problem for you

or are you getting worked up about wild scenarios in your head

[archibaldcrane]

My point is there's 320 million Americans (or, what, how many canada people you got again, not going to look that up because it doesn't matter)

stop worrying so much about the fringiest of the fringe as a reason to be mad at the regular fringe

Agreed.

Nynja is just afraid of his pee-pee falling into the hands of Invader Xim.

Its a problem right now.
However, If youre suggesting this “made up scenario” wont happen, then there should never be this problem.

I work with and visit all types of people and I've never been corrected about pronouns. And yet, many media places will tell you its running rampant everywhere and especially in schools. If the next generation wants to fucking use pronouns then whatever dude. The fake outrage from both sides is fucking retarded

[Tyrath]

Ill accommodate them by using whatever known promoun they desire: he or she or them, etc. Now, they can accomodate and respect me and my lexicon by picking a pronoun that isnt a madeup word.

Do you have a learning disability regarding new words or something?

I, too, get irrationally angry when a book I'm reading uses a word I've never heard before. Fucking author doesn't respect my lexicon. 0/10.

You could have stopped the entire post at the word "disability".

That's a new one to me. O.o

It's called trans-able.

[Milkster]

Unless that confrontation is with service economy employees who are unable to retaliate or indeed defend themselves in any way for risk of losing their livelihood.

Shut up

[Milkster]

I will call people whatever they want

but gender shouldn't be this important.

Everything is about sex apparently

[Tyrath]

Hey don't talk to them like that. They're not your server.

Sounds like someone was never on Tumblr. They're all out there. It's wild.

Its funny I was just reading about this recently. I can't remember the details which I know is unhelpful but if I recall they determined that the mechanism causing that type of body dysmorphia is different from transgender individuals. I am not sure how they know that though.

Also individuals with that issue will often end up self amputating or mutilating their body to match how they feel they should be internally. Increasingly Dr's are agreeing to procedures for these people because at least they could have it done in a medically safe way.
