WHY Does Anyone Need to Announce Their "Pronoun" Upon Introduction?

fallenturtle · 2022-09-03T18:24:07.657Z

I see that term doesn’t meet your standards. What term would you use?

WuWei:

Female is a sex. Not a gender. Sex is biology, not a social construct. Woman is a gender. That’s why the solution to the sports issue is simple - make it female, not “women’s”.

Thanks to critprogs, we now have to be more precise in everyday usage of the language.

Bruce Jenner can pretend to be a “woman”, he can never be female. He can win “Woman of the Year”, he can never be Female of the Year.

Educate yourself.

woman and female can be used interchangeably when referring to humans.

No it is required to list pronouns & pass that ridiculous “health” class that includes umpteen genders and flags.

The school fired a good French teacher many of the kids like because a group of non-binary students complained he “wasn’t inclusive enough.”

It really has gotten ridiculous in this neck of the woods

What school?

It used to could, it can’t anymore. Thanks.

Is Bruce Jenner female?

That’s not your call.

Is Bruce Jenner female?

Bruce Jenner has been retconed.

It absolutely is.

You’re boring me with your nonsense.

For me it is not the male or female that wants to be referred to the other. In most cases you can tell what they want. It is the ones that don’t want to be referred to either. We can’t even say on the plane anymore “Welcome ladies and Gentlemen…” Anymore because someone complained about not being either. I have no idea what to call them. Being called an “it” was a put down when I grew up.

“Thingy” has a nice ring to it. lol

On what authority?

Well for what its worth I’m entertained by yours.

If you don’t know, just use “they”.

There’s always someone complaining about something.

Being called an “it” was a put down when I grew up.

It still is.

WuWei · 2022-09-04T00:58:07.897Z

Define female.

fallenturtle · 2022-09-04T00:59:35.385Z

WuWei:

Define female.

I’ve already answered. I’m not doing this with you again.

WuWei · 2022-09-04T01:55:38.389Z

Define female.

Say that out loud. “Welcome on board they”

WuWei · 2022-09-04T10:39:17.389Z

You can’t be honest now, can you. You can play games with gender, then you run into biology and it’s a problem.

What does the term “biological male” mean?

WuWei · 2022-09-04T10:40:15.181Z

Try doing it honestly this time.

Welcome aboard, “they”.

Your making STODR’s case for him.

STODR:

Say that out loud. “Welcome on board they”

How about just “welcome on board”?

Because that is not very personal. That is like asking why greet them at all.
