Repeatedly on this thread people who have said that it is not kind to refuse just go along with pronouns.
When explanations are given, it STILL results in women being called hateful and bigoted.
Even when they have given examples of why and how it is harming women and that it is fundamentally a mens rights movement.
You aren't interested in listening. You've demonstrated that.
And used mental health slurs. And I'm angry that women are being told they MUST go against their self interest here, to be kind to others when this isn't remotely kind to them and harms them in multiple ways.
If you really wish to go and understand why gender neutral is problematic, go and buy yourself a copy of Invisible Women and read the Cass Review about why Hilary Cass states that the act of using pronouns is not a neutral act and should not just be done in schools as a default response.
I'd also like you to reflect on identity formation and how the identity of those immediately in the orbit is someone identifying as non binary or trans is disrupted. We KNOW that any disruption to identity can be harmful - so why is it dismissed when a family member comes out saying they are changing their gender? That in itself is probably an indicator of trauma or something other problem, which has a fair chance of also having an impact on closest family members too.
Simply having a polite conversation about 'how many brothers and sisters do you have?' immediately becomes fraught with difficulty. Having a lived experience of having a sister and then having someone change their gender disrupts how you relate to others. When some asks you in polite conversation about birth order or siblings they are looking for shared experiences. If you had a sister who now says they are a brother or they are non binary, it closes the ability to have normal polite simple conversations down, without them turning into difficult and complex conversations involving politics which perhaps you don't want in a passing conversation with a stranger at a wedding. It puts you on a back foot as you have no idea of the politics of the other person and how they will react. So it's often easier to dodge the situation. Lying is equally problematic because you don't have that lived experience and you have to then tell more and more lies that don't reflect your life.
And theres other relationships this affects - as a parent, a partner or a child.
If you want to go away and come back and discuss this in future, I'm open to it, but honestly telling me I'm not allowed to be angry about how it's all being so dismissed and using incorrect sex pronouns is framed as 'being kind' just pisses me off at this point.
There's no excuse for the mental health slur thrown at those who have had to deal with this AND the massive taboo of being unable to say how much this is harming so many women.
For a women's charity of some description to be engaging and forcing others to go along with this without thought is frankly reprehensible in my honest opinion. It goes against the interests of women and it fails to identify the underlying causes and vulnerable of these women. In failing to recognise this they can no help get to the core of those problems.
