I guess this is issue is a hard one for me, because I consider myself straight, have dated mostly opposite sex people, but did meet one transgender person back in 2020 during the lockdowns that really helped keep me sane through all that chaos, I lost contact with them but still love them,
Before that happened I didn’t really think too much about these kind of issues, but because of how much I care about them when these issues come up, I admit I am thinking about them and how they would feel about these things the WHOLE time. I would assume they would want to be recognized for the sex they have become, so for that reason while I am all for people being called the pronoun of their choice, I’m a little against the idea that we need to stop using terms like “man” and “woman”…
Not interested. Sweden may be able to easily add “hen” alongside “han” and “hon”, but it’s significantly more difficult to get these to work in English. Believe me, I tried back in my young activist years.
Surprised these threads are still allowed, well at least to make it this far. They may start out with a related request for the game but never stay that way. Regardless if you think of it as a political topic or social experiment type thing, it sure don’t belong in this fantasy world that is WoW.
It is very disappointing to see any art give way to pressure of this kind.
The vast majority of latino people find it offensive to be called lantinx, so some people label the push for this as white feminism. as it is mostly gated community white people with unchecked mental illness that want to push this doctrine onto entire foreign languages and cultures.
I honestly don’t get this. You are either born male or female. All this talk about science these days but we easily throw that out the window when it becomes a political debate. Also, genuine question: how do I refer to a singular individual (he, she) with a pronoun that refers to people in the plural (they, them)?
Yep. The entire language like French and others are centered are masculine and feminine words and descriptors. My wife is from Mexico and she thinks the whole Latinx thing is just (Americans, slang word) sticking their noses into latin culture. She finds it very offensive.
Stuff like this is hilarious to me. It’s just a ploy from a political perspective to narrow down a group of people in order to lessen the work it would actually take to bring them into your party. That’s the idea behind the term “POC”. Lump them all into one group, give them a common enemy and then use that to “craft” solutions to provide them to keep yourself in power with their vote.
You’re confusing sex with gender. Biological sex is science. Gender is a social construct and thus is far more fluid than the binary system people seem to want to adhere to and preserve so rigidly.
Also, some people are born intersex, where they are not quite male or female sex but have characteristics of both. Parents typically decide how to raise those kids based on their own inherent biases and desires about gender. Some of them are also surgically altered at birth by doctors to better fit the sex they think they should be.
Ya know, if we’re talking science.
Wait, didn’t we have this very same thread a couple days ago? Anyways, the easier solution will just be to refer to everyone by their name. Then no one can be offended if I use the wrong pronoun
No no no. Gender is BASED on sex. It’s put in place so we wouldn’t be referring to each other as male and female. It is a conversational term use to describe male and female.
Even the dictionary states: Woman: “an adult female human being.”
Also the number of intersex people is the population is about 0.018%. So trying to act like it’s some significant part of the population is in error.
Also. If we want to talk about representation of small percentages, why aren’t we concenered about people with 11 toes, or simaese twins while we are at it? Why do we just focus on what’s between your legs?
