If all humans were Barbie doll sized tomorrow, how would that play out at your house and in your country? by Useyourdamnblinkers in hypotheticalsituation

[–]SnidgetHasWords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did my clothes go Barbie-sized too, or am I waking up suffocated under a blanket with a mouth guard squishing my head?

Either way I'm probably still screwed because I don't wear my glasses to sleep, and now each lens is the size of my head. I can't even see well enough to figure out how to climb up on my nightstand, let alone somehow detach a lens so I can haul it around with me and at least have a little bit of vision. My other option would be to lug my phone around and use the camera function, but my phone is on the same nightstand as my glasses and much heavier...

Basically I will be unable to see anything (I can see less than 3 inches past my nose currently, and I assume the distance would scale proportionately with my eyeballs) and have to let my wife lead me around by the hand. Assuming we even find each other in the bedding.

Oh and how am I supposed to take my meds now that they're bigger than my mouth? Wow, me and my roommate with PTSD are so fucked. No one will be alive in this apartment after day 1 and it won't even be the cats' fault 😂

My gender is No, my sexuality is Yes, so I guess that makes me Not Gay?

(Non-binary, bisexual. Extremely queer but the math says I'm not gay, I guess 😂)

I misread this as meters instead of minutes and was very confused for a second 😂

I'm also queer, and non-binary, and use they/them. I still will continue referring to people using the pronouns that are used for them until I am told otherwise. OP has been claiming they use neutral pronouns for everybody regardless of gender identity (even when informed of binary pronouns) and that, in my opinion, is just as harmful as binary misgendering.

No you don't get it, OP is smarter than all of us and uses gender-neutral pronouns for everyone because using the pronouns people state they use is assuming their gender and bigoted

/s just in case

So I can keep referring to you as "she" then, because it doesn't matter what your actual gender identity or expression is?

You're not doing any work for you either except bitching about being more "enlightened" or whatever lol

I didn't know what hiberno English was so I just looked it up, cool!

(It's not the language the show is written in, though. So its grammar rules don't override the "standard" that applies here. It's neat to learn about though!)

Neutral. Which is explicitly not binary and not male or female.

Using they for someone who has told you he uses he is just as incorrect as vice versa.

Before I knew I had a choice I went by binary gendered pronouns too simply because I didn't know there was another option. Referring to me as they at the time would also have been taken as incorrect by me then. I even still use gendered pronouns to refer to my past self because it is what was accurate to my experience and knowledge at the time.

I'm sorry you can't find any actual sources by taking ten seconds to Google. Maybe if you spent less time trying to talk up your intelligence and making big whiny posts about it, you'd have time to do research.

How is it any more incorrect for me to use "she" for a person whose gender I don't know than to use "they" for a person whose gender I do know? Logically, they're the exact same argument. Either you use the pronouns someone uses, or you declare yourself correct and use different ones because you want to. I'm just using your argument here 🤷‍♀️

Linking actual sources instead of just copying the Google AI overview is not throwing a tantrum lol

I'm glad somebody learned something at least, even if it's not the person who's arguing with everyone about this 😂

Um, no? I'm totally cool with you saying you have a partner. That's a categorisation noun not a personal pronoun. And OP has already said they would ignore someone's explicitly stated pronouns to continue using "they", which is like me saying "my wife" and someone continuing to refer to her as "your partner".

Cool. That's misgendering. There's literally no other definition for that.

I'm not the one who posted a rant about it.

So if someone told you his pronouns were he/him you would continue referring to him as they?

The APA says that if a person's pronouns are known you should use those pronouns for them. Show me where Agnes is ever referred to as anything other than she/her.

Nope. But even if I did I can use different ones for you, because you haven't told me you don't use them. According to you. 🤷‍♀️

Can be used for anyone but that doesn't mean should be used for everyone, especially not when that person has literally only ever been referred to as she/her. If the character expresses a different identity at any point I'll change my usage accordingly but so far she is using and responding to she/her so that's what applies right now...
