RIGHT? Like I'm voting blue no matter who at least until the GOP fixes its fascism problem (if it ever does), but at the same time shut the fuck up I don't care about your 37 gender identities or pescatarian diet or whatever
The only people who rant about that stuff is the right wing
I'm straight but have lots of lgbtiq friends, and conversations like that never come up.
It's oddly enough the right wing who bring that conversation up constantly and exaggerate it
You would think so, but there's a certain user here who expects us all to play along with their stated gender. Their stated gender is the name of a mythical animal.
Somehow no one has played along.
Other than that specific person though, I have yet to meet a queer person who had an issue with being called 'they/them' even if their preferred pronouns are 'zir' or whatever. My wife works with multiple nonbinary people (librarians are an eclectic bunch). None of them expect you to call them by their preferred pronoun. They just don't want you to intentionally misgender them either.
Never really saw it become a big deal, aren't they just talking in third person?
Nope. They got pissed off that I called them not just "them," but "you."
And I explained to them that both of those pronouns are gender-neutral and that they apply to everyone and I would be willing to use them on anyone. Now they're following me around and harassing me for doing things like using 'he' when referring to Caillou. As in the cartoon toddler.
I've met those walking stereotypes a handful of times but yeah, WAY less common than Tucker Carlson or whoever would have you believe
Oh other people decided to not live their life pedantically according to your opinions. The tragedy!
You seem to have missed the "shut the fuck up" part
