The sad part is dysphorics and trans people are genuinely hurt by being misgendered and it affects their mental health, but the sanctimony and lust for power / dominance hierarchy found in liberal circles leads people to making pronouns into a hyper cringe technocratic arms race, Sad!
Pronouns
idk, as a dysphoric trans person i think shit's pretty fucking funny
agree it is kinda funny
"guys" and "dude" and "bro" and "bruh" are contextually-agendered social expletives
fuck forced negative interpretations and the "people" who socially legislate them
alien techno fascist denuding of human communication inclusivity trojan horse consumer node netflix and porn unit-8626 needs to be atomised into social anomie further by technologically mediated mutual degradation sessions by its wage provider (not salaried) — the consumer-worker will submit to this subtext of sexual repression and adhere thanks crew
I assume people misgender me by accident, it's not healthy to assume malice on other people's behalf
now if someone goes out of their way to be a prick that's a different story, screw those people
>prick
Hi! That’s a gendered pronoun, we recommend ‘asshat’ or ‘dingbat’
whats wework lift?
Wework is a company. I assume he is stuck in one of the elevators inside a Wework office building
oh ok thank you thats a silly name like wework sounds like we work like he works there
It’s funny now but my boss is forcing everyone to state their preference like a signature on all emails
It's cringe but you should learn to accept good cringe vs bad cringe
Imagine living an ocean's distance away from the American South and your boss yells at you, "Carl, you need to refer to your coworkers as 'y'all' instead of 'guys' to prevent Alice from having a breakdown" while some hon typing in the corner is being forced to accept the embarrassment of being constantly singled out in the name of inclusivity
Get the courts involved too and it's better. Carl's inconsistency with the inclusive "y'all" cost him his job and he tries to sue, which means poor Alice is forced to show up in court to vouch for her boss' decision by shrugging awkwardly every time the judge asks her "did he make you feel left out by not constantly reminding you that you're different?" Carl loses the case and takes it to the national news so that Alice can be doxed, harassed and swatted by Carl's thousands of sympathizers thanks to their woke boss's inclusive language enforcement.
What a great time to be alive!

This is just corporate totalitarian with other flavor
You aint seen shit yet, here in the EU theres a company called yFood producing a drink brand called "This is food".
Every time i pass those on the shelfes i think to myself "no its not"
Serious question: do trannies actually get pissed when they get referred to as 'dude' or 'guys'?
no, depends on context
No. Could care less. If someone calls me by a singular "guy" then yeah, I'll feel bad, butt I won't get pissed
i knew dudes in the military who would use singular guy in the same way you'd use bro
>listen here, my guy
always sounded uncanny
I hate this so much, FUCK
It's one of the reasons I'm so afraid of coming out in a professional environment... I don't want to be even more singled out than I already am for being "quiet", this just feels even more like a nightmare :(
>Y'all
I thought liberals hated southerners.
