Gender Discussion #22

[Ensay]

Would you actually care even if you did get misgendered? I wouldn’t. I once had a takeaway delivered and had short hair at the time and didn’t bother putting the hall light on to answer the door. The guy handed it over and said ‘there you go, mate’ and I laughed, at which point he realised I wasn’t a man and went ‘oh er, sorry love’. I shut the door and went about my evening, rather than having an existentialist crisis about what gender norms I was presenting to the physical world Of course, I now realise I should have called the takeaway and asked them to educate their staff to do better and reported them all to Stonewall.

Nope, if someone misgendered me I'd be pretty amused and would suggest they booked an appointment at Specsavers...

I never use terms like "mate" or "love" for strangers so the chances of me misgendering someone to their face is pretty small.

I probably should have added that I’m up North as a disclaimer where those terms are pretty common. I know a lot of people don’t like being called love but it’s par for the course where I am. Men who are of the same age tend to call each other mate or something like that, but love is used for more or less everyone, male or female, although there’s a hierarchy and you should never call one of your elders ‘love’. I’d be more offended to be called ‘love’ by a teenager than to be misgendered

I was misgendered regularly when I had very short hair. Guess what? The world didn’t end; my identity didn’t collapse like a deck of cards; I wasn’t erased from the surface of the earth.

That is literal violence

Its impossible to be misgendered if one doesn't believe in that nonsense. I've been mis-prefixed if that counts, how dare they assume my marital status.

She is stunning and brave. I wish she had a fair race.

This should be a parody but I think it's real.

Please let it be a parody.

Please let it be a parody.

I looked through his account history and it looks like an ex-mormon gay guy practicing a new form of internalized homophobia.

I wonder why they’ve limited replies on this?

 

[carefulnow]

They can't turn off the quote tweets though I take it the responses are overwhelmingly negative (I don't have Twitter so I can't see the QRTs)?

I liked the response; "It takes a lot of balls to be an inspirational woman these days"

The pronoun nonsense is that adults have accomodated it, schools accept it, people in authority teach it, it has infiltrated society so the young people and the next generation think it's normal and unquestionable to use pronouns.

would not be surprised if the majority of candidates stated as woman in the Scottish greens are men in the next few years

I only quickly read the article this morning but it seems a well written and referenced article
