in the USA they enforce it on the kids in school and hide it from the parents so that the parents have no knowledge or influence over the kids.

they enforce it in women's competitions where they allow ex-men to compete with women and completely destroy them. it's forced down everyone's throats. they share the same changing rooms too. men with full ding dongs hanging out in women's washrooms in front of all the women.


in the jobs I've had in the past 10-20 years, you can literally feel the enforcement of it with endless training and education and special preference and treatment, trying to change the narrative as much as possible to fit what is expected of "current normal society".

then in the backrooms and secret groups, the whisperings of "what the fuck is happening" spreads, but no one can say it out loud cuz they're too scared of getting targeted by the woke police.

Even my friends with young kids going to public school say the kids have a list of sanctioned items, and only those items can be brought to school. specific crayon brands... etc etc. because no kid can have more privilege than another kid. they want all kids to be equal. what, the, fuck?

So just cuz I can afford a japanese mechanical pencil for my kid, he's not allowed to use it? he's gotta buy some fucking sanctioned BIC pencil like all the other kids?

you know what that sounds like? the military. militarization of schools, indoctrination of these ideas which are forced and you cannot opt out or speak out against it.

They're literally trying to pump out as many woke soliders as possible.


USA/UK are literally becoming Sodom and Gomorrah, where perversion and erosion or morals are becoming the norm.
Your kids go to public school?

Lol at "forced language".

Like would you people really be such douches that if you met someone in person who told you "I prefer they/them pronouns" you'd be like "Fuck your stupid pronouns, you look like you have a penis so I'm calling you He/Him"

It's like this girl I know who doesn't go by her given name, because she said it reminds her of her shitty past, and she cut someone off because they refused to call her by what she goes by.
Like what is that person trying to prove? "I don't care if this upsets you I PLAY BY THE FUCKIN RULES SHOW ME YOUR ID!"
What's the fucking point of making someone feel shitty for no fucking reason?

This will definitely make a bunch of gays out of ungays.
It's funny because people think that there is an increase of LGBTQ community because of "grooming" when it's just that kids are feeling like they don't have to live their whole lives in the closet because no support system exists.

That’s not what I mean about forced language. I think 99% of the population would have no issues addressing you the way they would prefer. It’s no more difficult than any other greeting etc. and I totally agree.

But you see it online all the time when you’ll get someone that say, looks like a woman, sounds like a woman, acts like a woman. So someone addresses them as ma’am and all hell breaks loose because they were mis-gendered.

Then you have all the cancel culture stuff which is almost getting out of hand. Imagine getting fired because you misgendered someone who, by all physical traits, is the gender you addressed them by.

Nothing to do with this thread really but society will need to sit down and figure stuff out soon or else things will get really blurry and messy and no one will end up being happy

I wonder if it's straight people who are so insecure about their sexuality they just don't want to risk being exposed to anything gay out there coz they are afraid they might start liking dick.

Anyone who looks a certain gender and gets upset if you mistakingly misgender them is just looking to get offended and they can go suck a huge bag of dicks. If you know what pronoun they want to be called and still decide to call them otherwise then maybe you should think about why it's such a big deal to you to upset someone for no good reason.

In actual person to person encounters I would expect most people to be reasonable. If you use the wrong pronoun initially because you didn't know any better, a reasonable person would probably correct you with "Actually I prefer to be addressed as ...".

And an equally reasonable person would say "Ok thanks for the correction", and use the correct pronouns from there on. This is how it typically goes.

However, if afterwards someone continue to use the wrong pronoun out of belligerence or otherwise, then expect an equally hostile response and things to get out of hand.

That sure sounds like the "perversion and erosion of morals"

I think there's probably a certain number of people who don't like or are embarrassed that they got corrected so they get upset rather than apologetic. Those are the real assholes. But I've never once seen an LGBTQ person flip out at being misgendered when it was a genuine mistake.

I'm sure there's been pricks on both sides. If you call someone a "her" and then an hour later you're getting called into HR it would probably leave a sour taste in your mouth lol

I feel like most of this shit is just internet complaining and in the real world most people don't actually follow through with what they say they would do online.

How often in real life are people actually getting called to HR for a genuine mistake like that?

I feel like people are playing up this scenario in their minds and getting all upset over something that is probably very rare in reality

Usually the people that would be calling HR over something like that are straight white females with them/they in their IG bio trying to latch on to the latest "victim card"
I had two trans women working for me before (both born male, mid transition with hormones, some surgeries done, etc) and they were misgendered regularly by people and totally just would be like "hey I prefer female pronouns and would explain where they were at in a quick sentence and never made a deal out of it.
There's totally gonna be people that make a deal out of nothing, but as I said before, they represent themselves, not an entire group of people, so the idea of blaming a whole group for that interaction is absurd.

None of these things fucking happen in real life

I have a buddy that goes off on and on about this same shit every time I see him. Gender pronoun this, woke that, it literally consumes him to the point where I've lost my shit on him a number of times.

Dog, how many times has someone got mad at you for labeling them the wrong gender (he works at a liquor store, deals with the public), his answer, really never.

So I ask then, why is this subject so important to you? It's because his goddamn Youtube algorithm is flooding his mind with utter bullshit. This is an internet culture phenomenon like much of this stuff.

I've worked in a number of large corporations -- you'll get some people that put she/her, he/him in their signature, that's the extent of it. Anyone who in actual life that would take serious umbrage and berate you for mischaracterizing their gender is not a serious person.

This is college kid online bullshit that does not translate into the real world in any meaningful way.
