I was surprised by this video, not just by the hysteria on display, but heartened by the comments. People are starting to question, to push back. In esence, they are not playing the game anymore.

Those videos have a real South Park type vibe.

The comments are absolute gold, I can only imagine they would be waaaay different on Twitter.

I don't think it's right that they misgendered her, as I think everyone deserve respect (if they themselves are respectful). However I don't think it was fine on purpose, "sir" and "ma'am" are said on autopilot by serving staff so I imagine it just slipped out.

God this winds me up. We as humans are incredibly good at knowing what biological sex people are. If people want to be called madam etc fine but people will make mistakes and it seems the transwomen in this video have a hard time accepting that they look like men and are biologically male, regardless of gender, and will likely always present as such. It just smacks of hate on their part, the kicking off is so aggressive.

The "Sir" thing is very American. Hee, it has forelock-tugging, bowing and scraping connotations and so has fallen into disuse.

What would they all make of being called Luv or Miduk?

That's on the youtube channel of The Daily Caller:

Founded by Tucker Carlson, a 20-year veteran of print and broadcast media, and Neil Patel, former Chief Policy Adviser to Vice President Cheney, The Daily Caller is committed to providing its audience with original reporting, in-depth investigations, thought-provoking commentary, and breaking news.

The comments are more about the channel than the current thinking of the public.

Gosh, those women are unusually aggressive and entitled, you'd almost think they were, I dunno, men?

The manager was cool.
