Like, I understand singular they as a concept. I use it every day. But in what situation would someone be around to hear someone else use their pronouns?

I guess I just don't get the pronoun posting thing. Or non-binary gender tbh

You don't get laid either, but you don't need to in order to accept people who do.

Youve never introduced someone to someone else?

Hey everyone this is my friend X, they are not very good at social interactions and dont really put a lot of thought into how simple it can be for them to just act like a normal person.

Or introduce someone at a company meeting or ceremony?

Our next speaker needs no introduction, they are known for making bad-faith posts about transgender people and asking questions that would be painfully obvious to them if only they put in a modicum of thought. Give it up for X, everybody!

Also, this goes without saying, but a person shouldnt need to be present for you to use their correct pronouns. You can just use the correct ones for them the same way you would for literally anybody else. Its quite simple.

Guys, I seriously don't care that I don't get laid.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

But I don't need to be told their pronouns to do that? The pronouns are not adding anyone to the respect or disrespect pile.

simple
Trans people are one gender or the other though. Trans women are women who are she/her. Trans men are men who are he/him.

And I would always use they/them in your situations. Even if someone is she/her or he/him. Am I being disrespected if someone refers to me as they?

When did I become known for making bad-faith arguments about trans people?

I don't get why we can't use "one" instead so we don't have to deal with plural shit.

Trans people are people who feel like the were born into the wrong gendered body. Their gender was assigned to them at birth and they don't agree with it, for various reasons.
Gender non-binary people are the same. They were assigned a gender at birth and don't feel like their mind matches either gender role.

What gender are you? Why do you feel you are that gender?

It's a normalization thing. If the majority of people are doing a thing then it makes that the standard instead of making it stand out as unusual

More importantly, it takes away the whole thing that someone looking to spew hate at trans people "for the lulz" can just identify them by pronouns in their bio. Although of course, "they" still tends to stick out a bit in this regard.

i thought that was pretty clearly towards the post a few before it, but if you think it fits...

not gonna lie, i'm pretty disappointed with this take from you. misgendering is misgendering. if you know what pronouns someone wants you to use, and you don't, you're being rude. even if you're using neutral ones for everyone. personally, i'd love if everyone would start using 'E', but that's something everyone needs to come to individually.

when you refer to yourself (1st person) do you use i/me or we/us ?

not all cis people are like that, please don't generalize an entire group of people based on the actions of one member. how would you feel if someone pointed at the actions of one trans person and said "GOD why are trans people like this lmao"?

it was a genuine question out of curiosity. i've watched a streamer who referred to themselves as "we/us", so i was curious what you prefer. and instead of replying sincerely with an intent to educate, you belittle me and act condescending. keep it up!

but i do like how you completely ignored my other post about you making negative generalizations about an entire group of people based on the actions of one individual.

and i even got the "you people". look at them go!

My understanding is for you to not necessarily use the they/them pronouns, but when you identify them beforehand, it fixes the potential mistake of using he/him/she/her.

.
So they/them is just to prevent misgendering? Why not just say you're trans or NB?

You can use they/them for anyone at any time. Just be sure to do it for everyone, all the time. You dont want anyone assuming youre only doing it for certain people.

Of course there are people that havent grasped the concept of it being used in the singular form, but generally interactions with such people will be short.
