Current Events > What's the point of being a dick about personal pronouns?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm not going to intentionally be an asshole but I'm probably gonna avoid talking to them. It's a sign of raging narcissism and I just dont have time for that shit

'Gender' is the wrong word for what we're talking about here.

There are only two genders.

Be whatever you want to be, but don't change the meaning of words.

This is why I feel my idea would solve all issues around this.

Your gender may be male/female/genderfluid/two-soul/non-binary, but you still have a (genital here). Make the gender concept based on the genitals

You have preferred pronouns. Everyone has preferred pronouns. Is everyone a raging narcissist who youre going to avoid?

Thats incorrect. Gender is hard wired into a persons brain.

No, that's sexuality. Which like Wewillrocku implied, is a spectrum. But the topic in question, Gender, is determined by society, hence the term "gender roles".

No. Everyone has normal pronouns. Preferred pronouns are for people who think they're special and demand that others acknowledge how special they are.

Gender is not the same as gender roles. Youre making an argument that, if true, would mean trans people dont exist.

This is a strange thing to lie about. Everyone has preferred pronouns.

you didn't get king hutton's point. actually gender identity is identifiable by looking at a person's brain.

here is one possible page to go to for some reading.

Ah, I remember this and the experiment with male monkeys preferring cars and action based toys while female monkeys preferring dolls and more sociable toys. I can concede this. But how does this play into varying genders?

No. You use "he" for men and "she" for women. Everyone knows this. Everyone is taught this in kindergarten. Toddlers know this stuff. That's not preferred. That's factual.

Are you saying I can call you by any pronoun and you dont have any preferences? Or do you not know what the word preferred means?

I don't give a rat's ass what you call me, but if it's anything other than "he", I will seriously start to doubt your mental capabilities.

He's not demanding that you call him by a special nickname and getting pissy if you don't immediately know it right off the bat or you forget to do it somewhere down the line because it's not intuitive to remember it at all and isn't self-evident.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't give a damn if you call him "she," "her," "asshole," or whatever other name you want to toss out there because he knows who he is and is secure in that. It's on you at that point honestly.

here's a syllogism using the expression of societal construct you posted earlier.

1. if people are wired to be transgender, gender isn't a societal construct.
2. people are wired to be transgender.
3. therefore, gender isn't a societal construct.

So you do understand that you have preferred pronouns and youre just being deliberately obtuse about it. Noted.

That's how I feel about everybody here that acts like trying to say they or them is so unreasonable.

Alright, then what shall we define as the difference between gender and sex? Is sex purely genitalia or all the biological differences that comes with separating categorizing on genitalia? Cause I'm rescanning the article and this is talking about biological differences. And the literal definition of gender is differentiating the sex from a social and cultural standpoint. It appears we're conflating the 2 terms.

It's really concerned about what pronouns you use to describe it.

It's society's preferred pronouns.

Right? And none of them are able to explain why. The topic title has a question that no one wants to answer.
