Respect “weak minded chimp”? Irony
Everyone deserves a basic level of respect until they prove otherwise.
Openly bragging that you are a rude piece of garbage while calling anyone who is courteous enough to adapt to someone's prefered method of being addressed a "beta" waives your deserved level of respect.
Why arent they?
Jesus above woman, dog also probably above woman......What’s the difference between someone who believes they are a woman when they are a man and what I just stated? Please enlighten me
I’m not angry or hating anyone. Jesus told the truth and didn’t hide behind delusions or lies to make people feel better. They can choose to think what they want but truth is truth and I don’t have to say the emperor has clothes when they don’tJesus above woman, dog also probably above woman......
You calling them what they want to be called isnt making your perceived delusion any realer. You not calling them their preferred pronoun doesnt make it any less.
We dont recognize British lords here, does you calling someone Sir X mean you are now British or recognizing the monarchy we kicked out? No.
I dont remember Christ teaching us to be rude to sinners and to berate them away from their evil ways. I remember a teacher who sat down and talked with them and engaged on a personal level. Even eating with tax collectors, who probably paid for the meal with ill gotten gains.
You jump so quickly to hate, disrespect, name calling, and anger, yet want to preach about God.
I use they/them if they use a different one. Havent had any take exception to it so far. Otherwise I would probably use their name.Why are they not pronouns? Because they were made up 5 minutes ago to make teens feel special.
Do you accept and use any/all pronouns? Do you place any personal limits on this at all? Or will you refer to someone as ve/ver/vers?
Why do you believe someone would wish to be called ve/ver/vers? Do you truly believe it's about acceptance or about control?

Usually, the two times it's happened, they say it real fast with their name, and I am paying more attention to the name because I am crap with names. Name>pronoun in my book, and like I said it's never been a problem so it's kinda difficult for me to practice it.So the thing you're arguing about, you do not do?
And I agree with the name. I don't use they/them or any of the made up nonsense, nor do I believe anyone has a right to control your language to that extent. But I will call them by their preferred name and simply avoid all pronouns.

Like we havent changed our language at all? Lol is in the dictionary. Google is a verb. I have yet to see anyone saying you using He/she is offensive when talking about yourself.So they arent invalidating something you have learned.I agree. But the pronouns specifically I see as a power move. Similar to when you have that one loser teacher in high school who demands you address them as doctor.
You have a right to go by whatever name you wish. You do not have a right to ask people to change an entire language to accommodate you.

Who would be the jerk if someone called you by a name or pronoun you didnt want? And you corrected them?
If I am randomly decide tomorrow to change my handle on VN to McDad's Pimp I would expect you to conform. Just because you dont like it doesnt mean you get to set terms on someone elses life.Sure Google is a verb and language does change. No one is arguing that. Rather the intentional changing of language to make you feel special is issue.
You get to randomly decide tomorrow that you're more of a zim/zir and the world must either conform or be accused of bigotry.
That's not a "live and let live" mindset. That's an authoritarian control mind set. The idea that you get to dictate language to others.
I have stated that if somebody asks that you refer to them as a she or a he and you continue to address them in a manner inconsistent with said request you're being a jerk. It is your god given right to be a jerk and I support your right to be a jerk.
Still a jerk though.
Lol. A pronoun “you didn’t want”. You are a male or a female and the pronouns for each really aren’t a choice unless someone is mentally ill. I think someone pretending to be something they are not and expecting others to participate are definitely the jerks who needs to seek professional help or at least realize what they are.

I guess you are libertarian until it comes to stuff that you dont like even though it doesnt effect your life one iota.
Why not take exception to my name change? I am not becoming McDads pimp. You are merely playing into my delusion if you use my new name.Or I guess you can’t follow what’s being said at all.
I agreed fully that you get to pick your name. I never proclaimed to have an issue with that. I also never promoted government pick your name for you so I’m not sure what libertarianism has to do with this.

Did people calling Chad Johnson Ocho Cinco contribute to his delusion of being a number? That's more nonsensical than being a woman.
We have strayed a lot further from base english than a couple new pronouns.
As a libertarian you arent supposed to care what other people do as long as it doesnt directly hurt you. You have yet to lay out a single scenario where you have been hurt by a pronoun.
