That’s what I was responding to. But, sure, we should totally pretend that language never changes or evolves, just to protect the delicate feelings of mentally ill people who are obsessed with what’s between other people’s legs, especially children.
Forcing language to change is not normal. Especially when some goverments have taken it upon themselves to make it illegal does it cross a hell of a lot of lines.
That's why you now see people entrenching themselves into the idea. Theres no winning so it's better to dig a fox hole now.
It wouldn’t have to be “forced” if governments weren’t making it illegal and people weren’t digging in and refusing to progress. That’s the part that’s not normal. Trying to force your beliefs on other people and making them conform to your world view isn’t normal. Letting people live how they want and minding your own business is normal, and that’s what the law is in most free countries. We shouldn’t be using fascist governments as an excuse to deny rights to minority groups.
Exactly. When the majority of a population is in favor of something, trying to ban it with unconstitutional laws won’t work. It didn’t work with interracial marriages, it didn’t work with gay marriage(in fact, that seemed to backfire significantly), and it’s not going to force trans people to suddenly decide they’re cis after all.
Really annoyed people disrespecting my gender pronouns?
