Gender critical people- do you use preferred pronouns?

[Lemonjello]

I find this a really hard one, being very gender critical but also not wanting to offend. I'd be interested in other people's views and also, if you refuse to use them, is it a cross you would die on, so to speak? I.e. would you be be willing to lose your job for example. Can you in fact be fired for this?

Bloody hell, that's infuriating. You can call out sexist shit to men, but how can you do it to men think they're women? It's gaslighting on a stratospheric scale.

Try transsexist? They have cissexist, after all.

Doubt HR would buy it.

I honestly think many conservative males and some women support this shit because they hate women / feminists and are happy to watch us get fucked over.

It's your specific circumstances that infuriate me almost more than anything else. A man has to do basically fuck all, to be able to lord it over a woman. Being able to do this with the Super Shield of Teflon that is a trans identity, is just rubbing your nose in it.

I think I might be tempted to order them to call me 'he' today because I've decided to be male today though I might be 'she' again tomorrow, and demand they address me by whatever pronoun I've chosen on a particular day.

I do use them, but it makes me feel extremely unhappy, verging on bloody angry to have to do so. I'd lose my job if I didn't.

There are four lights.

Yes ... That's it in a nutshell. It is as if he has found the magic bullet to being able to act in misogynistic ways with absolute impunity. Not only is he a woman, but he's got added oppression on top like a Teflon coating that means he's untouchable. And he calls women out on their privilege constantly while oppressing them. Thing is, amongst the younger set of activists he's really not alone. He's not AGP in any sense, he's simply got an axe to grind. I suspect that many keyboard SJWs are very much like him.
