pronouns dont matter. you could use the right pronouns but still disrespect me and be transphobic against me.
you could in theory use archaic language that would be offensive on its face towards me, and still not be transphobic in intention. especially older or less educated people or people from other cultures.
i would rather live in a society that uses politically incorrect language but treats me like my gender otherwise, than have to deal with "allies" who go out of their way to use the right language and pronouns but goes on about how i am not 100% a woman because xyz
@burnoutqueen I tried to explain this to a hateful ex of mine. That there just isn't a fight about pronouns, that people have always been kind in correcting me especially very early on when I was uneducated about nonbinary pronouns, and that you don't get forced into using them or any such horseshit.
But I also explained that if you get up on your high horse about pronouns and say 'why should I change my langage' or whatever, you're demonstrating you're unsafe. Like it really doesn't matter about pronouns as much as it matters that you're making opposing them your entire personality, you're acting entitled and abusive about an issue that doesn't impact you--
Or in short, being an asshole for no reason. When one could just not. LGBTQ people need to avoid you, because you're being an asshole. Not because you accidentally used the wrong pronoun, but because you decided not to honor them at all because of hypothetical persecution you claim you'll receive for doing it wrong.
Like no you won't. This claim is ridiculous on its face. The persecution is entirely one direction.
Somehow, none of those fucks has wanted to sit through that explanation yet. They are still complaining about pronouns and telling 'I identify as a helicopter' jokes. It's a tell, like being obsessed with ivermectin or 'securing the border' or 'protecting children'. Just a signal for your in-group that justifies marginalization and atrocities, and intended to immediately turn off your brain.
