In ten years this pronoun nonsense is going to be one of the most cringe aspects of the mid 2020s.

Some simply don't want to admit it yet because there is so much peer pressure to go with the flow for fear of retaliation.

You’re right.

There is “so much peer pressure to go with the flow for fear of retaliation”.

That’s how I ended up suicidal as a teenager, because I knew being openly queer was like signing my own social execution order, so I hid so deep in the closet that it ate me alive.

Notice how quickly my post is attacked?
I know some of you folks have noticed. The quiet majority that are so damn sick & bloody tired of fringe groups being in the news every fucken day when we have real problems in this country affecting literally millions of folks that get no attention.

They're only in the news every day because you won't leave them alone. I can't think of a time when a trans person has affected my life one iota.

vivosaurigno.bsky.social•168 days ago

They've affected my life but only in good ways.

The trans community is probably one of, if not THE funniest community I've had the pleasure of meeting.

vivosaurigno.bsky.social•168 days ago

Pleasure of meeting sounds weird after reading it but you get the point. I'm so glad Ive got to meet members of the community cause they've been nothing but nice & hilarious.

They’re narcissists and you’re the target.

So you show up on a post about a "fringe group" to bitch about the fact that people are paying attention to their concerns, and now you're bitching because you weren't welcomed with open arms by those same people?

You're not the majority & you sure as hell aren't quiet.

Please stop. I came here to get away from all the hatred. Don’t comment at all if you’re going to offend people.

You're responding to a comic that somebody made, not a news story. Your post is probably getting attacked because you came here to throw a fit at a comic strip that you could have just scrolled past. It's like going to Wendy's to tell everyone you don't like Wendy's. Just go somewhere else.

Do you not understand how trying it must be for him/her to exist in a world where other people... you know... also exist...

socialxstbutterfly.bsky.social•168 days ago

Dude gender non conforming ppl have existed for centuries, since humans have existed it. They went by different names before but they existed in different cultures and different religions. It's not new and it isn't going away.

If i were someone who legit had gender dysphoria, I would be upset that so many people are viewing it as trendy.

charlesghart.bsky.social•168 days ago

“Gender Dysphoria” is a label often applied to vulnerable kids who may be autistic or who will eventually become gay adults. The cure is generally a normal adolescence, not lifelong medicalisation and/ or cosmetic surgeries with high rates of failure. Social contagion spread via the internet.

I'm gay and I've never once questioned my gender identity. Where did you get this bizarre idea that young gay people are any less certain of their gender identity than straight people?

charlesghart.bsky.social•168 days ago

Homophobic parents.

johnsays.bsky.social•168 days ago

How bloody ridiculous. Give your head a wobble. In what possible universe to homophobic parents make anyone change their gender identity. It really is staggering the kind of nonsense straight people believe about gsy people.

charlesghart.bsky.social•168 days ago

You’re very uninformed about this topic. Do you support straight men calling themselves “lesbians”? And would you consider having a relationship with a “transman”?

johnsays.bsky.social•168 days ago

Trendy? Are you high?

13f.bsky.social•167 days ago

Nah, it's a troll. Bluesky turning into Twitter.

johnsays.bsky.social•167 days ago

Yeah I've started blocking.

thebookwormturns.co.uk•168 days ago

Oh, do shut up.

biboarderdude.bsky.social•168 days ago

So so true.

If only people would stop making a big deal about calling people by their preferred pronouns would just grow up and realize that using the preferred pronoun is the same as using a person's preferred name we could leave this all behind.

1997ms.bsky.social•168 days ago

If someone's given name is Robert and they ask to be called Bob instead going forward do you say "nooooo but that's not what was assigned to you at birth!!" or do you say "ok" and move on with your life?

That's literally the amount of mental effort people like you are complaining about.
