I’ve no words tbh. Utterly disgusted by the misogyny.

So…
my sister is not my sister, but a Non-Man. And her wife, my sister-in-law, is also a Non-Man. And together they are two Non-Men.

Whereas I, sister and sister-in-law to these two Non-Men, am a -?-

Or is it only your sexual orientation that magically deem you a Non-Man?

well, that can get to fuck in a handlebar.

Let's hope they rewrite it correctly, and don't just pull the whole thing forever.

There's another doozy of a document about pronouns too:

https://studentaffairs.jhu.edu/lgbtq/trans-resources/supporting/

There's a section called "What if cisgender people decline to share their pronouns?". The answer proscribed is:

"If a cisgender person refuses to share, it implies that pronouns are trivial, since theirs are “obvious”. It does not provide for an inclusive space."

Note that in a previous section titled "What if someone is hesitant to share their pronouns?" the answer given is:

"Introduce yourself with your pronouns: “Hi, I’m J.D. and my pronouns are they/them/theirs.” You’re allowing the other person to share theirs, but not forcing them to. Sometimes people are fearful of disclosing their pronouns due to past response. Provide a safe space for them to do so if possible."

So "cisgender" people are to be censured for not giving pronouns, whereas other people are allowed to refuse....

But of course.
Night follows day.
If there's dog poo in the pavement, you'll step on it.
Bears shit in the woods.
Popes are Catholics.
And trans activists get to re-define sex-based language.
Immutable laws of the universe.

OMG - it’s like ‘okay no one challenged us on this one - so let’s push it a bit more next time round’.

I’ve had it with the GI project’s ‘scope creep’. From ‘be kind’ to ‘’capitulate’.

I wouldn't call changing gender immoral.
Idiotic, narcissistic, misinformed, infantile, selfish, egocentric, destructive, isolating, damaging, unsystematic, illogical, shortsighted, yes.
Immoral, no. That's giving the "philosophy" WAY too much credence.

But one can never know who is trans or who is not.
I may present as a small female, but who is anyone to say that is what I identify as in the depth of my soul?
And what if I decline to tell?

It’s a minefield this.

RoseslnTheHospital · 14/06/2023 17:18

Indeed. They seem to imagine that they will be able to identify those terrible cis types by sight, yet in the same document there's advice about how not to accidentally misgender someone by assuming their pronouns based on their appearance....

turbonerd · 14/06/2023 18:36

Exactly Roses.
It is amazing how it makes no sense at all.

There was another thread were a poster asserted that you own your pronouns.

Well, what if mine are so sacred and secret that you’ll just have to guess. And like Peppa Pig’s secret password (or Suzie Sheep’s) it changes all the time to stay secret?

Non-men can be wiley like that.
