Sister using pronoun they...

[Merida83]

To describe my 7 week old dd!
AIBU to be pissed off and to insist she refers to my DD by female only pronouns.

But Pengggwn, you’re making any sense.

You said if you were to go into your workplace and accuse everyone of being racist, you would’ve made copious notes previously and had a position to assert.

But you come onto this thread and call people transphobic, without abiding by your own rules.

You can say what you like. And we can all tell you what a stupid, wrong and rather offensive thing you said.
See how that works?

You're spending a lot of time defending your saying it, so why not spend a little telling us why you said it and what basis you have? We know why, because you have no basis for it, and you said it to get the very reaction you are now complaining about.

Sure, you don't care at all. Hence the copious posts from you on the subject. Clearly you don't care.

so, are you going to back it up or withdraw it? Or do you admit you were wrong to say it?
Or are you just going to keep whining about how you can say what you like?

What? You think I would make copious notes about transphobic comments on an anonymous Internet forum? confused Seriously

Perhaps I’ve misunderstood. You said, were you to do something similar at work, you would be highly prepared to back it up.

I’m not quite sure why an anonymous forum is any different?

Although there are people who write deliberately goady comments online, we’ve all seen them.

I have on previous occasions found you to be so uncivil that I don't want to talk to you. This is just a reminder that I won't be responding to your posts

How convenient

I just don't care.

Yes, I can see that the thread full of your self-justifying posts shows just how much you don't care.

I don’t think we’ve ever interacted under this latest name of yours actually but your tone and weak style of argument certainly gives you away.

I find it amusing how much energy you're willing to put into defending your right not to be "harassed" but can't be arsed to put any effort into standing up your original accusation.

"But you are talking about my colleagues, not a group of anonymous individuals who aren't accountable to me, nor I to them... This isn't my workplace. I will say what I like."

This is not your workplace, and therefore you feel free to insult other people and then go "nee-nar"?

If simple consideration for your fellow human beings - even if they do not have the privilege of working in the same workplace as you - does nothing for you, how about the fact that you are posting on an internet forum with some basic rules about interaction.

OP, sorry your thread was derailed. Ignoring your sister's silliness would probably be the higher road, but I can totally empathise if you do not have the patience for it.

I think you're perfectly within your right to object to "they" if she refuses to say "she" try asking her to only to refer to her by her NAME! Novel notion as that is??

Never mind though. You've done a fine job in demonstrating that accusations on MN of "transphobia" are usually based on nothing and tend to be goady hit and runs more than anything. So you've provided that service at least.

Let me be clear: I don't care what you think about my opinion enough to debate it

You don't even care enough about your own opinion to look at why you formed it!

All this "I didn't insult anyone, all I did was made a passing comment insulting all of you at once" schtick....it doesn't work. Try a new tactic.

Jesus

However, the 'nodebate' grandstanding on this thread is a good example of debating with a supporter of trans ideology: totally fucking pointless

OP, your sister is being disrespectful. Tell her to address your daughter correctly and stop trying to impose her crackpot ideologies on an infant

I still think Pengggwn claimed transphobia without having much idea what she was saying.

Yep. Have to admire her tenacity though. Again, like the TRAs defending the pointless
