I think that the guy who stopped the gunman has a man-bun

You finally said something smart, it's a shame that you continued to type.I think there's not a bit of inconvenience calling a person he/she or him/her regardless of what they were born with between their legs.
It's a bit like not shitting all over someone's religion regardless of the fact they believe in some sort of fantasy.
It's just assholish and lacking respect for another human. Kinda like when someone doesn't want to be called by their first name, instead their middle name, you respect that.
It's really not that hard not to use names or pronouns in a casual conversation.I have a hard time remembering names. Always have. Now I'm supposed to pull up the name and then cross reference the name with that individual's list of preferred pronouns?
Screw that. Screw pronouns.
"Hey! You! The one in the Raiders shirt and a tutu wearing eye makeup and lipstick? Take your hand off my ass please..."
People often say dumb stuff to me, I just ignore it, b/c I can. You don't have to listen to people just because they're talkingAt a local coffee shop a couple weeks ago was the most recent.
I said “thank you sir” then he gave me sh!t for for misgendering him.
This was by all outward appearances a dude, facial hair and all. Clearly a gay dude but a dude none the less.
I was being respectful by calling him sir. That was my intent, to be respectful. He was the one who started the confrontation.
Exactly my point.It's really not that hard not to use names or pronouns in a casual conversation.
maybe it takes practiceIt's really not that hard not to use names or pronouns in a casual conversation.
I was agreeing with you. xoxoExactly my point.
I'm all about hitting the "not that hard" button.
That didn't come out right did it?
And again.
Out.
Damn it!
It's tough to teach an old dog new tricks isn't it?maybe it takes practice
At work, I refer to someone as “she” and someone else as “he” although they both would rather be referred to as They. i don’t do it out of disrespect. I do it out of habit.
i notice others do as well
but I’ll keep trying to form new habits
What kinda psycho calls a coffee shop person 'sir'?At a local coffee shop a couple weeks ago was the most recent.

this is the wayI have a hard time remembering names. Always have. Now I'm supposed to pull up the name and then cross reference the name with that individual's list of preferred pronouns?

I was raised to call all my elders either sir or mam unless they told me otherwiseWhat kinda psycho calls a coffee shop person 'sir'?
Was thank you not enough?
How did he "give you sh!t"?
PS it irks me when people call me sir and my pronouns are pretty conventional.
No but mocking my wife if she played along with his delusions might get her to reevaluate her choices.if you want to use that as a comparison, would mocking you wife’s brother help anyone?
I hold the door for men and women.I had a woman give me sh!t one time for holding the door open for her. I can't help it, it's the way I was raised. I still do it, and that one particular woman is the only one that was ever offended. Other than her, pretty much all smiles and thank yous.
Which brings up the whole toilet seat thing. Am I being a chauvinist if I put the toilet seat back down? Or is putting it up to pee chauvinist behavior? Somebody give me the 411 on 2022 urination protocol in mixed gender bathrooms.
Out of my way to use a pronoun? Wtf are you talking about.So you went out of your way to use a pronoun?
I've gotta be honest, I've never been confronted with this issue. I've worked with gays, a few trans, and pretty much everyone else and it literally never happens to me. I'm even old enough to use the "thank you, sir" line all the time too.
Aside from the coffee shop, when else has this occurred?
And TBH, if someone yelled at me for making a mistake about something like this, I'd probably tell them to fook off. But not because they want to be called something I don't get, but because they acted like a shithead. The better way to handle it is "you're welcome, but if we meet again I prefer to be referred to as ____. Have a great day."
PS - did you notice how often I used "they" in the singular? And how it made sense?
Well considering that you think being respectful by calling a grown man “sir” is “psycho” I’ll take this as a compliment.This is flat out one of the dumbest things you've ever said.
That's an achievement.
You can turn your ears off?People often say dumb stuff to me, I just ignore it, b/c I can. You don't have to listen to people just because they're talking
Psycho.I was raised to call all my elders either sir or mam unless they told me otherwise
I still do this
