i just called my cat a good girl OMG

YOU ****ING MONSTER :fist:

you white privileged son of a bitch

ngl Dean... there is a plethora of hate rises inside me every time you say 'then' when you mean 'than'

I'm glad you've raised this Linda

:joker: Aww I like Dean's typos... I can imagine it in his accent

It's not a typo though.. it's just a Deanism.

"It doesn't affect you."

:joker:

One of the worst excuses ever used on the internet.
If you're going to make judgements on terms/labels/language people use then yes, it includes everybody.

You want things changed down to the slightest description just for the sake of it, or in some vain attempt to please a minority group and then don't listen to the counter arguments but respond with "But it doesn't affect you".

:joker: If I get leaped on for daring to suggest someone with a penis is a male or an action man is a boy's toy then yes it does affect me.

As a person with a vagina, I fully agree with you marsh

My penis thanks you for your support. :hugesmile:

if the strongest reason you can come up with as for not providing an X gender option is that it will upset your way of seeing everyone as either male or female and therefore it's not fair on you then really that just proves the point that it truly doesnt affect you

btw i hope u guys realise that the pet post was created by a troll account...

Where did I say it's "not fair"? :conf:

I'm saying the "issue" of what terms are and are not acceptable involves everybody. You can't strive to present equality for a minority group of people and then tell others it's nothing to do with them.

If you have a problem with the terms I use then it's a debate I am rightly a part of.

When an issue is about language it includes everybody.

Well actually, campaigns for alternative titles and pronouns will not affect in the slightest if you identity with the sex you were assigned with at birth. :idc:

No-one is stopping you from referring to either of those things in that manner either. All that's needed really is more widespread recognition and teaching that that is not the status quo..

Of course they aren't.

I mean honestly say what you like about this being a 'first world problem' or 'attention seeking', but when you get down to it what harm is it actually doing? None. Absolutely none. It's doing the exact opposite if anything.

This is what it irks me to see people get all irritated with progressive gender attitudes and campaigns. The binary system does more harm than good, and complaining about other people trying to broaden it a little just reinforces that. It's ludicrous.

salman look at what you've started

Well at least it's an argument over something that matters rather than the quality of [insert popstar name here]'s music or something :idc:

Such a minor issue seems to have cause such a stir

If you want to call yourself an 80% masculine, non gendered person with a vagina, knock yourself out.

But if I want to call you a woman, don't complain.

lets not, mr former rihanna stan

I'm gonna continue to be a boy and do masculine things
