This pronoun thing is ridiculous

This pronoun thing is utter bullshit. I really do not understand why it's so hard to grasp that people are going to call you based off what you present yourself as. If you are a woman, people are going to use she/her pronouns because those are pronouns a WOMAN would use. If you are a man, people are going to use he/him pronouns because those are pronouns a MAN would go by. FYI, nobody is going to use gender neutral terms just to make sure they don't offend a few rainbow weirdos that want to identify as something other than what they are. If you are a man or a woman, it's only natural that people use he/him/her/she pronouns.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Yes, it is ridiculous and I pray that people realise that before it begins to be an issue here in my country. Even Linkedin is asking for my preferred pronouns. Hell, no. I'm a woman, meaning a female human being. Any other definition is wrong.

    Agreed. I hate it. In Discord server introductions for example, they always ask you to state your pronouns, and instead, I erase the pronouns and say "sex: female."

    • If I'm looking at what appears to be a man or woman, I'm automatically going to refer to you as he/him/she/her. Why would I ask? Besides, I'm going to refer to you as what you're presented as.

        You realize "Hey what're your pronouns" takes 0 effort

    It's 2022, many politically correct dumbfucks show themselves because they're commonly enabled and being ridiculously accepted now.

    It’s only a ridiculous thing if you acknowledge it to begin with.

    I’ll call you whatever I perceive you to be.

    Agreed, but if someone prefers a different pronun I will use it for that person because i'm not an asshole.
    Only young people get sucked into the pronuns thing, and certain celebrities because it's what's trendy now hence it benefits them, and they are still figuring themselves out.

    Language is a social construct and therefore we can change it into whatever we want.

    It brings me great joy to know that there are people on this Earth that are truly pissed off just by the fact that pronouns exist, and as the entire English speaking world moves on without them and becomes a better place they will continue crying by themselves because they can't handle change. Please respond to this comment angrily, I can't wait to happily ignore your desperate cries for attention.

    • LOL, another moron over the internet speaking when they don't even know what they're talking about. Shocking. You people like seeing yourselves type, don't you? I'm just pointing out the ridiculousness of these people that like to run mouth about their stupid pronouns because they can't accept the fact people are going to assume their pronouns based off what they are presented as. Again, if you're a man, people will refer to you as he/him. If you're a woman, people will refer to you as she/her. That's how it's always been.
