Happy birthday Bowie! Hope you get all the treats!

and likewise, as an older queer I’m doing my own educating here. I’m not going to sugarcoat the truth. Not now with the severity of the threat we collectively face while we’re having a fucking pissing match over pronouns and being offended by the innocent use of they/them purely to be outraged and feel important.

Getting mad about being “misgendered” by a stranger calling you the gender neutral they/them for the first time until otherwise specified isn’t behavior that’s acting in good faith but rather narcissistic attention seeking faux outrage.

No, that automatically calling people the gender neutral they/them until otherwise specified isn’t misgendering, and furthermore, this kind of faux outrage bullshit set the LGBTQ rights movement back decades.

No, call people you don’t know they/them until otherwise corrected and if they get pissy about it that’s their fault and not yours.

There’s real serious problems out there, being upset over being accidentally “misgendered” by having no gender recognition at all is fucking ridiculous attention seeking me me me behavior.

This attitude drives me fucking nuts as a millennial who had to fight the real fights for LGBTQ acceptance only for the younger generation to get their panties in a twist for inadvertently being called by the “wrong” (gender neutral) pronoun.

Queers are on the verge of being hunted and exterminated in the US and y’all are pissy over being called a gender neutral pronoun by someone who doesn’t know you?

For fucks sake this is why the heteros hate us. Younger queers need faux outrage to feel important. Now the real threats are back on the horizon. Thanks to young out of touch activists caring more about pronouns than our physical safety and well-being.

They/them is a default for someone you don’t know until otherwise corrected.

And if some chud gets all hissy about their pronouns point out the irony of it.

You know, when the special designations came out my generational trauma came up and all I can think of was choosing to get a Star of David and juden written on you.

I always thought this was a trap.

As a lesbian I always hear from straight women “I wish I could be gay like you it must be so much better!” Like nope women are equally shitty!!

It’s only shitty to intersex people, non-binary is a gender not a sex.

I mean there’s male, female, and intersex who make up less than 1% of the population. Nothing about gender. This isn’t the flex trump thinks it is…
