okay “say why i don’t like it” not that i’ve done that a million times before but i’ll say it again:

i really don’t like it when allocishet people give their opinion on shit about the lgbtq+ community when it literally does not affect them in the slightest. if i said i’m a “enby cat robot thingy” for example and used it/she pronouns that wouldn’t affect you other than the fact that you would call me it or she, so complaining about this “oh my god this person has a gender that’s slightly unusual” is just fucking absurd to me and that you three are still going on about it is just odd (i’d literally said fuck all and got @’d out of nowhere)

It doesn’t pay to be angry and mean about stuff all the time without saying why. It just makes people not like you. And because of that, it makes them not like your opinions or beliefs either. This is true for literally any opinion you can have.

If you don’t like what he’s saying, don’t insult him. Actually say why you don’t like it. Or give reasons as to why it’s wrong. This kind of stuff literally provides 0 value to the site or discussion. It’s flamebait.

Edit: I’m not trying to start a fight with this. I’m telling you because it would actually help you a lot to not post flamebait. You will be more respected. Trust me, I know from experience.

how you look saying this shit

Hot take: Genders that are actually about social, psychological, sexual etc (with these of course can be set-in-stone or can change aspects (like the ones on this list: https://young.scot/get-informed/gender-identity-terms/) are fine but genders related to not living things (like books, web browsers etc) are weird and to me seem like attention seeking - like who identifies themselves as Google Chrome? Or Diary Of a Wimpy kid?

I don’t think he’s talking about it or they or even xe, I think they’re talking about things like using emojis or something along the lines of “diary of a wimpy kid“ as a gender

the only reason the emoji pronouns is bad, it’s because it can’t be read properly by a screen reader

I’m not saying they’re bad, I’m saying that their hard to understand and it feels more like displaying a personality than a gender, but this is just how I feel based on what I know, if you could explain what they actually mean though I might be able to understand better, but from what I can understand it just seems like weird stuff to me

well what do you think a gender is

I can’t really say for sure, its a complex concept for me at least, my current concept of it is kind like a spectrum ranging from male to neutral to female, I don’t really understand what the ones outside of that 1 dimensional spectrum are, do you have an explanation?
