Default This Pronoun Thing. Please Explain.

Let me say from the outset I won’t be using a ****in’ pronoun to address someone as long as I’m alive.

Now the question. WTF does it mean when you see “She/Her” after someone’s name? Are you supposed to greet them with “Hi she!?” and not use their name? Give me some examples of how a non-retard would substitute using this pronoun name thing.

Someone listing their preferred pronouns is like face and neck tattoos....nature's way to (alert you to) stay away from this person.

I was recently told hey asshole is a viable universal phrase.

My wife had/has a few freaks work for her... I'm not allowed to visit as I will call it as I see it.

What if you’re in a meeting and you’ve got multiple people in attendance with this mental disorder? How do you differentiate one from another? How do you take roll call? Do they all sign the attendance sheet with ‘she?’ How do you even know who the hell was there?

example:

Sue is your co-worker. you need to tell someone else that Sue will be out next week. "Hey Dave, my co-worker, Sue, who does great things, well, she will be out next week."

we all use pronouns to refer to someone we've just mentioned when we need to refer to them again in context.

you probably would not say your wife's name every time you referred to her.

Just assign them names like “queer1” and “queer2” etc.

That's a typical example for someone without a crippling mental disorder. I don't think that's what they have in mind. If it was why would you even mention your pronouns to begin with?

Yup, saw a computer game the other day watching Twitch where they ask for pronoun preference when entering a character name. Didn't surprise me since most games these days are shoving the opportunity to have queer sex down your throat every ten minutes. But that's why watching Twitch comes in handy, can avoid paying money for such garbage.

I go on to the local Nextdoor page once in a while for entertainment. On the settings page, Nextdoor has a "preferred pronoun" field that defaults to they/them unless you change it.

Typical woke social media BS site, but it's been fricking hilarious every month to see people bitching about their gas and oil bills all winter (Trump and big oil's fault!), except this month it's all Putin's fault.

Gender pronouns are third-person pronouns. They are not meant to replace someone’s name.

If someone has made their pronouns known and one intentionally uses other pronouns, it’s just a dick move. Using a pronoun (that someone has made known) is just basic respect to extend as a human being. I don’t have to agree with their ideas or politics. I choose to extend courtesy to others.

Deliberately using a pronoun that is contrary to what someone has expressed is intentionally disrespectful and I am not an intentionally disrespectful person. There simply is no reason to be deliberately or intentionally disrespectful to someone.

your mommy and daddy determined your pronouns when you were born. if you are a boy, then your pronouns are he and him. if you are a girl, then your pronouns are she and her.

Horseshit, no one should be expected to tolerate or play the pronoun game just because a bunch of mentally ill liberals came up with it to help destroy society. I find it disrespectful to expect normal, rational people to participate in someone else’s twisted gender fantasy.
