I hope that women can now freely use precise and accurate language whenever they need to.
I think that over the past few months with so much of the UK hearing the reports (or actually watching) the NHS Fife tribunal, so many people have realised that this all seems to come down to philosophical belief.
And no one should have to comply to another person’s philosophical belief.
Because to be a person with a transgender identity is not based on having gender dysphoria. There are certainly some people with gender dysphoria, but we have been told by professional academics as well as trans people themselves that there is no medical condition needed to be a transgender person at all.
Therefore the only commonality for people with transgender identities is that their philosophical belief.
Meaning no one needs to comply with another persons philosophical belief. No one.
No matter how kind or respectful that person who is trying to shame you into complying tells you that it is to use the preferred language, it is someone who is demanding that you support their own philosophical belief.
Pronoun demands are very harmful to the needs of female people and children.
Accurate language is vital to ensure adequate safeguarding is being upheld and many other aspects of life. Including ensuring that children and women can properly describe the people causing them harm, including rapists, those who assaulted them, abused them and so on.
Any person declaring that preferred pronoun usage is harmless, seems to only be focused on individual people. They are ignoring or dismissing the collective harm being done. They are also not considering another person's belief at all, only expecting everyone to believe in what they believe.
You, general you, are totally free to choose to base your own language on using the sometimes centuries old established meanings of words and the established protocols of language that are based around sex. Not someone's identity.
Using preferred language around describing someone is based on someone else's demand to believe in their philosophical belief. It is purely up to you.
What no one should get to do, is to shame others for not supporting your belief if they do not choose to. No one gets to infer / imply or to directly state it is ‘disrespectful’ in anyway to use accurate language that has commonly understood meanings amongst the majority of the population.
