Proposal to use neutral language

Do you honestly expect us to believe that people literally put guns to your head or put you in jail if you misgender someone? Seriously? You created an account on this forum just to spread this garbage?

And yeah, using the correct pronouns for someone is the respectful thing to do.

LMAO! Imagine being so pompous and “holier than thou,” that you have absolutely no clue of the laws surrounding things you advocate for.

Yes, I do honestly expect you to believe it. Because it’s absolutely true.

Happens more often than you think. Especially in the UK and Canada. The US is the only country in the world with laws PROTECTING the FREEDOM of speech. So, yes you can and do get arrested in other countries for stuff like this.

There’s far more examples than this one. You can DYOR since you were obviously too lazy to type 5 words into Google before making your ever-so knowledgeable statement.

Perhaps you should become more educated on these things before you form an opinion. It might make you look less stupid next time.

You don’t get to determine what offends someone else. You can choose not to believe it’s offensive to them, but just because you don’t find something offensive doesn’t mean it isn’t.

I find these sentences you just posted to be utterly offensive. Take it down NOW!

Goes back to what I originally said. Context and intent behind the words. If there is no implied malice, then the offended people are whining about something that doesn’t exist. If the words were so offensive you’d think there would be a lot more consensus on this issue.

Again, I still have yet to see any substantial portion of a minority group offended by these words. It’s just like the Washington Redskins football team. You have Chiefs of tribes coming out and saying they actually like the name. But, leave it up to the perpetually offended middle/upper-class white liberals to tell the minorities and everyone else what should be offensive to them.

You’re the language police and it’s utter pathetic.

Yeah, jokes about mental health are pretty messed up. I can’t believe I have to say this.

Sorry, I forget your skin is paper-thin. I actually suffer from 2 mental illnesses and find jokes about mine particularly funny. Have fun living your life with that attitude. You sound like a really fun person to be around.

What? I’m a software engineer. I didn’t start this thread. Do you make any sense at all? And my “garbage” is logically sound. This 1984 newspeak isn’t. Absolutely 0 consistency. 0 understanding of words and language. It’s childs play, and I’m tired of it. Sorry that I’m intruding on your tyranny parade.
