Everyone wants to be special

[PeacefulPottering]

This whole pronouns,, it's all about this generation wanting to be special, they cannot believe they are just born normal, not that special, just one of a billion people who are born every year.

If this is what is keeping you up at night you should probably just go to bed, they're not all gonna change their minds because of your oh so special opinion

I think people just want to be treated with respect.

Literally nothing to add to the conversation

I generally think if it matters to you, and costs me nothing, I am happy to support anyone identifying as anything.

That's exactly what I'm saying @PeacefulPottering, you are adding nothing to the conversation of pronouns and gender ideology, you're just being a bit thick and rude. Find something better to do with your time than staying up late worrying about the younger generations pronouns x

but ,everybody is special ,to their parents ,grandparents,children,family ,friends .
we are all valued and special to someone.
maybe people don’t feel as special as everyone is busy these days and don’t have as much time for each other

Reading with intrigue

How do you know she's thick? Have you checked her IQ? Maybe she identifies as a genius. For all you know you may have just misgendered her.

I agree...ish. I don't think it's this generation wanting to be special. Gen Zs aren't the ones pushing this crap. It's millennials mostly. Gen Zs are still young and impressionable.

@FuckNuggets If you're talking about misgendering, you are the only person that guessed OPs pronouns, not me. Nice try though, was quite funny

Is it at zero cost though?

This is quite thought provoking

There's also this that gives info about social transition not being a neutral act

It was meant to be funny 😄. TBF people use ridiculous pronouns, "zi/zer etc. Genius could be one. 😉

@FuckNuggets Oh yeah for sure they do and I don't necessarily 'agree' with using ze/zem or the like for confusing reasons, but I just personally think getting this worked up and making a Mumsnet thread about it is a bit OTT

I knew before I clicked on the thread that this would be about pronouns.

YABU. Very U. In any case, if “everyone” wants to be special, as you put it, it will all backfire, because everyone will be declaring their pronouns and it will actually be more unusual not to do it. So you won’t have to worry anymore, will you?
