This is weak bait, ok? But we all know PotD will take it, ok?

Probably the later. I mean because folk are expected to keep bending over and accepting silly concepts as to not "offend" anyone or risk being calling a bigot(or some other name that gets throw about) the stupidity will never end. Soon we will have folk who identify as Animals(if we don't already) and we will have to accept that too in order to be progressive.

When someone says they feel like a boy some days and like a girl on other days, and get pissed when I call them the wrong name because it was a day for the other gender, then that will be the day I officially quit humanity.

I don't think I'm that far away.

Hi Ziggi.

Gender fluidity is a college construct so that normals can pplretend to be different.

I think in general people need to stop giving a shit

I don't even know my friends names, I barely remember what they look like

Everybody needs to chill

i don't know or care, ok?

Gender fluidity is a combination of the need to feel special and ignorance.

some people already do pretend to be animals (and i dont mean furries or something like that)

Does it really take that much adjusting? You seem to have a reasonable grasp of saying "okay" already, and that's all that's really involved.

for me it's not so much adjusting to pronouns and bathrooms and such, that's easy. it's more the outrage culture that considers you a "nazi" and "bigot" if you dare get anything incorrect in their eyes, ok?

The legitimacy of gender fluidity is a red herring in this case. It doesn't hurt anyone to refer to someone by "they." If that's what they want, it's simply respectful. There's no actual adjusting required.

The people whining about this, have you ever even had to deal with one person in your life like this?

Well I haven't been whining but one, in person, for myself. And he was coincidentally mentally unstable and punched my friend's gf bc I guess when you identify as a woman hitting another woman seems more ok. Not gonna say that every transgender person is violent but I do believe there is a correlation between identifying yourself as something you're not and being mentally unstable

If "okay, sorry" isn't enough to placate somebody who's upset over a legitimate mistake (as distinct from deliberately screwing it up to be a dick), you can pretty safely ignore them. Again, still not much adjusting.

Okay!

Here's what I think. I think that like other social trends, some of this is here to stay and some of it isn't. So the short answer is yes you have to adjust to this. Get used to it, grandpa. But just like with hipster poser gays in the late 90s early 00s this to will level out. Once people get used to it, they'll stop giving a shit, and when they stop giving a shit, people looking for an obnoxious fashion statement will have to co-opt something else.

The longer answer is that we're already seeing a new wave of pushback against Tumblr snowflakes from actual trans people, people with gender dysphoria who aren't in transition for various reasons (like myself), and the genuinely intersex, basically saying that if not the entire concept of gender fluidity, then at least the way it's being acted out greatly trivializes gender dysphoria by taking a medical condition and reducing it to a fashion statement. I suspect that with a growing 'trans conservative' (for lack of a better term) voice, we'll see the pendulum swing back to a point where people will be encouraged out of respect to trans people to use the pronouns most expedient to the group unless absolutely necessary.

I finally agree with you on something, robot.
