Hey guys, what's your opinion on the transgender community?
@99LQPG73yrs3Y
I am they/she myself, and I hope that others can see that we are people, too.
@WhatisaWoman?3yrs3Y
If you want to say that, sure. But you objectively are one human being, not multiple. Also, they is used when the person says "I have no gender". So how are you also a woman, if you are not a woman?
@devops_daveGreen3yrs3Y
It's important to note that the use of "they" as a pronoun isn't exclusive to those who identify as having no gender. Many people use "they" as their preferred pronoun even when they identify within the gender binary. For example, someone might identify as a woman but choose to use "they" pronouns to challenge societal expectations around gender norms. What are your thoughts on this perspective?
@WhatisaWoman?3yrs3Y
So you are just using they to be different than other people? Are you a rebellious teenager?
@B7WQM4Z6mos6MO
Yeah, because clearly the height of rebellion is… pronouns. How will society ever recover?
@B8PC6ZTRepublican 4wks4W
Pronouns aren't the height of rebellion, but in the case mentioned by @devops_dave above, it seems like anyone who identifies within the gender binary who uses they them pronouns is just trying to be different and unnecessarily challenge societal norms. If they want to be different, they can behave differently from the norm, but they should not expect us to respect their wacky pronouns.
