As I keep saying ,this whole " respect my pronouns" seems to be a one way street. As they can be as abusive and loud and nasty as they way ...even when the person genuinely doesn't know their gender .

Also think of all the abuse and name calling workers get called in general... funny how they can still behave in a professional calm manner . But not this self entitled worker ,who wants to make a scene.

Also if I've read the headline correctly,it sounds like it's another worker getting offended on behalf of the trans person? . That's another thing that irritates me aswell :bored: .

I think that the aggressive employee is a transwoman and that person was getting angry on behalf of the person behind the counter who is biologically female but identifies as non binary? I think anyway, i may have that wrong

In what world is it okay to act like that at all, let alone when you're working in a public facing role?


You might be thinking of the actual woman? She doesn't identify as a woman, she uses they/them pronouns I think.

Now I'm hearing it's actually a trans person getting angry on behalf of a person who identifies as 'non binary'. Which just makes this even more ridiculous. How is anyone going to know a singular person prefers to be called " they them " :facepalm: . Plus it's not natural to call a person " they / them" ,so obviously our eyes will always assume someone is either male or female :shrug:.

It's gone too far with this oversensitive bs now . Biology doesn't care about people's feelings at the end of the day.

It's not against the law, and there's nothing wrong with accidentally misgendering someone either imo.

However if someone were to deliberately misgender someone then imo they'd be being a bit of a douche.

Well thats not very likely as the woman never knew they didn't take cash so i doubt she'd been in there before.

It doesn't sound like the lady from the OP did deliberately misgender anyone - the woman she referred to as a woman identified as non-binary, and the transwoman throwing the ma'amtrum was definitely the asshole douche.
