"Ask me how my weekend was but don't ask me what surgery I've had."

[ploik]

Did anyone else see this? Read it a couple of days ago and it's still annoying me!

"So, for example, by all means ask me how my weekend was but don't necessarily ask me what surgery I've had. I think that's a nice balance."

Yeah I saw that a few days ago too. Thought it was a bit of an comment.

I think people struggle to communicate with people using the ‘they/them’ pronouns, which doesn’t flow well in conversation, or the pronoun for their chosen gender when their appearance generally doesn’t match (if that makes sense?) It’s got nothing to do with the topic of conversation.

There's never a please or thank you is there?
It's 'do this' 'say this' 'ask this question '
What proportion of the population is trans now? You'd think it was 50% the demands being made.
Just getting fucking sick and tired of all the entitlement tbh

I don't think asking people to respect your privacy with regards to medical procedures is wrong.

I don't want my colleagues asking me about my medical conditions or surgeries that I've had. Am I wrong too?

Fair enough, but presumably your medical conditions or surgeries didn't require your colleagues to accept you as a person of the opposite sex? This just sounds like shutting down all discussion by making it off-limits.

There's never a please or thank you is there?

It's the second puberty, my teen rarely says please or thank you either.

To be honest, nobody should ask anybody else about what surgery they've had.

If they have a penis, however, they shouldn't be going in women's spaces. Ever.
