Do you actually respect they/them pronouns when talking about enbies who demand it?
Do you actually respect they/them pronouns when talking about enbies who demand it?
this fucking image never fails to make me cackle
Lmao
in public, yes. i dont wanna be called a transphobe. but with my frens i always refer to enbies as their agab
Define respect? I mean I'll call you whatever and it makes literally 0 difference to me but at the end of the day shit like Xie/Xer isn't real language and therefore I'm just humoring you
What does it even mean to respect someone?
I respect everyone's pronouns, but They/Them is as far as I'm gonna go. Otherwise I will have a brain aneurysm trying to keep track of it all. Plus, neopronouns are fucking stupid
Does anyone even use neopronouns?
As far as I know they are mostly a meme and rarely ever used by anyone.
I’m really progressive and not at all a typical Any Forums type.
I like the idea of nonconforming to genders but all the enby demisexual pansexual neo bullshit is too much.
It’s probably cause I’m old though.
I've never actually been with an enbie in any situation where I had to use their pronouns. I guess the only example I could think of was when I was in high-school.
I had to work with two dudes and a blue hair chick on an assignment and as we were talking about other shit and I mention her by saying "she", she said, "actually I use they/them". This was during the time the whole attack helicopter meme was still fresh so we all just laughed and continued talking.
I wish it was. I have an mtf friend and one day she started going on about how she wanted to use fae/faer. I can't even...
I respect they/them pronouns on enbies who actually make some kind of effort to transition.
It doesn't have to be everything a MtF or FtM would go through. Basically they have to seem at least a bit androgynous to my brain, even if they do lean more toward one side or the other.
If someone uses they/them but they seem like a gender-conforming cis person of their assigned gender in every tangible way I will do my best to use their pronouns in public but in my head I absolutely won't respect it.
>so we all just laughed and continued talking.
And what, you wouldn't have done that today out of "respect" and "courtesy"? Funny how what is acceptable behavior is dictated only by fears of being canceled and seeming respectful in the eyes of the majority. Pathetic, hypocrisy at its best.
kek no
Of course not. This only happens on twitter and I’m not convinced these people exist irl
i use circumlocutions like repeating their name, describing their occupation, "that person", etc.
(sometimes behind their back i just call them their agab)
No, everyone will always be dude/bro and you guys to me. I don't care what you want me to call you.
>And what, you wouldn't have done that today out of "respect" and "courtesy"?
Again, I haven't really had to be with an enbie ever since. The only reason why I even know what that is is because of this board. If I'm ever in a position where I have to refer to their pronouns, I'll just act like I'm out the loop.
One of my team members is an afab, cisgendered transtrender enby who insists on they/them pronouns and it's fucking tedious. She's overweight with huge tits and curves and thinks that she's not conforming to her gender because she has a short, feminine haircut and a bad blue dye job. She's generally a very good worker and is great with customers, but because she thinks she's part of the queer community she thinks she can come to me and bitch about customers misgendering her (thank god she's too much of a doormat to bitch at customers) because they assumed the obvious, feminine, cis-gendered girl identifies as a girl. Every time she does it, I want to fire her, but we have local ordinances that would make firing her for pretending to be nonbinary a civil rights issue.
Fabricate a situation with an extremely annoying customer (that you planted) that gets her to yell at them then fire her
sounds bangable
Honestly, I wish she understood that she is bangable and that being a big, chubby girl doesn't mean there isn't a guy out there for her, because I think the whole enby thing is just an excuse she's invented to avoid putting herself out there and being rejected.
