millions of years of evolution that lets us instantly identify a man or woman by sight and other senses

do you think trans people want to be passable because its just fun to do? why else would they care about passing?

yea the problem is all the people getting involved and outraged about things that dont concern them. they even use war terms like "allies" to get that moral righteousness so they feel like theyre in the "fight"

distract? are you serious? yea this isn't distracting at all to 99.99% of people who can get along fine without worrying about pronoun rules.

thats exactly it. people who have no serious problems so they invent new ones and love to play the moral outrage game because they get power over others

you see so many people who do this then get eaten by the same group when they inevitably screw up some rule in the future

nope expecting the world to cater to your pronouns is harassment of the 99.99% of people who dont need or want to deal with it. i cant think of a more privileged complaint.

if you want to make extreme choices then youre gonna have to accept that its not going to be as comfortable. nobody owes you anything

life has been pretty simple for centuries. this is a manufactured problem. seriously because if youre trans and change your name then people just go with your new pronoun automatically anyway. you literally have to go out of your way to be difficult with this and thats why people have problem accepting it

you realize nobody really has a problem with that right?

this isnt a case about a specific person wanting a different pronoun. its about changing ALL language in the site to be gender neutral. that part is dumb. we dont need to worry about using she and he to talk about alice and bob because "they might be trans"
