Everyone has fumbled a relationship with someone who feels like the once in a lifetime hottie. Please just go to therapy and meditate for a few my a day.

that comment was a joke (i personally do not feel that way) but i do know people who have a tough enough time nailing down their gender that none of the options really feel right

the act is disrespectful, to refer to human beings using pronouns; by referring to people using fully qualified names, respect and humility is shown. pronouns are a declaration of war on the attributed creature, as immense inferiority is implied. societies created names with purpose – and to sidestep names is to break the fabric of culture!

And yet you refer to yourself by pronouns multiple times in that very comment.

“me” & “my” - how very gender-specific ;)

Yea but you’ll always need them. I think having too many sucks to keep track of, but other than that I don’t care for them

Fixed that for you by respecting AVincentinSpace’s preferred (lack of) pronouns.

I think they are using the generic “you”, which is an English grammar phenomenon I think is overused and should often be replaced with “one”, the unambiguously generic pronoun.

Why single out pronouns. Let’s all pile some hate on adverbs and prepositions while we’re at it. Ffs as if people wanting to be addressed using different language is something worth thinking about when there’s literally a climate catastrophe that will kill billions on the way.

But no, it’s the Pride people who are wrong. Smdh.

Can we also declare war on collective nouns? I hate them all with a blaze of passion.

Why, indeed. Almost like it’s a deliberate attempt to distract us from real problems…or, in the particular case of Elon, an attempt to make something that isn’t about him be about him because he’s the specialist little boy.
