They, Then and Now Asking for pronouns has become a social standard. Who is it serving?
Get over it.
No, I wouldn't.If you met me, you’d probably ask what pronouns I use.
I could care less.You’d ask me because my gender identity is not that clear — to you, at least.
Who cares? Not the majority of people.I wear light makeup and paint my nails and, depending on the occasion, might be in a slip dress with a kitten heel.
Hooray for you. For me, it's TMI.And yet, if you heard me speak, you’d probably assume (correctly) that I was assigned male at birth (AMAB, in the current jargon; I was also, of course, assigned the name Brock). You might assume, based in part on my voice and disposition, that I date and sleep with men, like a gay man (also correct).
No, it's not. Only in your self-absorbed world is this important.And so you’d ask what pronouns I use because it’s considered the polite thing to do now
LOL...whatever that means.— an accepted part of our perilous new social-justice social contract —
My ignorance, or your narcissism?and you don’t want to offend me with your ignorance
The world isn't going to bow down to your sexual fantasies.and you do want to flatter yourself with your deft ally-ness, all the while probably thinking, especially if you’re over 30, Oh goodness, the world is so different now.
Get over it.
