The Trans have declared WAR on Gina Carano

For mocking pronouns on social media handles.

She declared her pronouns “Boop/bop/beep.”

The new virtual classroom we use at my college has gender pronouns listed after everyone’s name. You select your preferred pronoun or can leave it blank. At first I left it blank because I’m like, obviously a “he”. But I noticed all the other faculty and students were using it so I just added it back in. Feels stupid but I guess it’s a sign of respect for those who need to clarify one way or the other.

I only know bop from that Steven Soderbergh film boop did where boop had lots of fights with Channing Tatum, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Mathieu Kassovitz, Michael Angarano, Bill Paxton, Antonio Banderas, and Michael Douglas.

Boop might have fucked one of them two.

However if anyone ever refers to me as “cis” I will make a scene and act offended. Cis should not be forced upon those of us that are gender obvious and I think it’s meant to be a subtle put down by trans folk.

I think it’s fucking hilarious, and wish she had committed to the jest. “That’s how I identify. I’m not constricted to a trinary model of gender identities. Fuck you, TERF.”

All of us are different in some way. Should alcoholics force people who aren't alcoholics to call themselves "non-alkies"? Should paraplegics insist those who aren't go by the term "ambulatories"? Should people who don't have missing limbs be termed "all-theres"?

What supposedly makes trans people so fucking special and precious?

I think the T-Gals are overplaying their hands.

They are overrating themselves and their power, making enemies left right and center, and that’s always a very bad political strategy for a minority group [especially as it’s as tiny as the Transgender population].

This is so dumb. Gina is a goddess.

The pronoun and labeling thing is so lame. I miss the 90's when everyone was all, "I don't need a label to define myself." Now everyone wants a fucking special name tag.

by Anonymousreply 28September 14, 2020 10:08 AM

This is a very anglosaxon thing. It's very rare on profiles that are not form the USA or Uk.

And most people are not going to put their pronouns in their profiles anyway. It seems a way to push a majority to do what a minority want them to do and that never works.

The same way people should respect and not mock people who put their pronouns in their profiles

by Anonymousreply 29September 14, 2020 10:16 AM

R29, people who put "their" pronouns in their profiles are fucking assholes. Not only are they stupid, but they're trying to impose this bullshit on the rest of us. The pronouns to be used for 99.9% of humanity are glaringly obvious. If in the context of a personal encounter someone gets the pronouns of the person they're communicating with "wrong" then they can be "corrected". Idiots putting "their" profile in their social media profiles for complete strangers they're never going to have any encounter with deserve to be mocked, especially since, aside from the trans, who are always very obvious, 99.9% of people's pronouns coincide with their physical gender.

Society shouldn't be forced to accept junk social science theories just because the identities of a tiny, negligible nano-minority don't match with their physical bodies.

I keep seeing trans / non-binary scolds in blue check Twitter post responses "politely" nagging whoever to add pronouns to their bio. If they get refused - or worse, feel as if they are being mocked for this Very Serious Thing that could Literally Kill Trans People by Invalidating Them, the lunatics and sock accounts come out of the woodwork to bully, harass, shame, and threaten.

How about just trying to relate to others? Trying to force others to use & misuse their language based on YOUR POV shows an inability to relate to others.

So r38, the whole of humanity which doesn't use the term "cis" and has never used it for the entirety of history, a very recent made-up term that has no equivalent in any language other than English, has an inability to relate to others if they don't use some stupid term to describe themselves that is used by probably only 0.0001% of the global population?

It literally comes from Latin. I agree with the reply that said this is a weird hill to die on. Her response is a bit Trumpy for my taste, but I also have no interest in putting my pronoun in my social profiles. As a public figure, she just just say something like "ok, I understand now. thanks" and let it go.

R7, r9, r17 etc ever heard of the word ‘straight’? Used to refer to persons who are not gay. Who are in the majority of the class yet there’s still a descriptive word? I’m sure I’ve read some uninspired complaints from certain ppl in the past bemoaning the term. That’s who you sound like.

Just like the term cisgender, pronouns are a tactic to make biology seem like a suggestion rather than a truth.

R45, your lack of biology is showing. Such an idiotic comment. There are women: born to the sex, genetic women. There are men; born to the sex, genetic men. There are very rare genetic conditions causing intersex conditions.

Then there are others. The others can invent their own jargon, re-create the image of themselves into something different, live their lives. But they don't get to redesign society as their pretend world.

Woman = woman. There is no such thing as "cis". Surgery, hormones, feelings don't make a man into a woman.

by Anonymousreply 54October 9, 2020 8:37 PM

R54 the distinction between sex and gender solves your issue. They typically (but not necessarily) correlate. Voila.

by Anonymousreply 55October 9, 2020 8:53 PM

The whole point of pronouns is to make conversational and written text easier to follow. They aren’t there to reinforce anyone’s apparently fragile self esteem. THAT’S what you want people to remember about you? Your PRONOUNS? Seems like an awfully low bar to me.

by Anonymousreply 56October 9, 2020 9:03 PM

R56 well then pronouns should be respected in order to make sense of the world yes? English language is all about efficiency. If you on purpose ignored somebody’s requested pronouns that would be breaking the contract of making a conversation easier to follow because it would require repeated interruption. Yeesh if you’re gonna make a logic point at least follow it thru lol.

by Anonymousreply 57October 9, 2020 9:12 PM

LOL - like "Xir" is better than boop, bop, or beep.

by Anonymousreply 58October 9, 2020 9:14 PM

I'll use whichever pronouns are requested, do my best to remember, and apologize if I forget.

I still think hanging your mental well being on how others perceive your gender is a dangerous practice.

I also think when folks get their britches twisted, they should remember that there are many gender non-conforming people in this world as well. When I see a man wearing makeup, I think "cool for him," but now I'm also supposed to psychically know if they are identifying as female.

Plus, putting both "lesbian" and "she/her" in your Twitter bio is redundant and stupid.

And finally, all of this is exhausting and these people need to go outside and remind themselves that they are not the still point of a turning world.

by Anonymousreply 59October 9, 2020 9:22 PM

My name and face are not gender ambiguous. I get they want everyone to do this to normalize the practice, but it feels more like being coerced.

If I felt sharing my pronouns would help others avoid awkward interactions with me, I might consider it.

Unfortunately it's my personality that causes the awkwardness, not gender bending. I should likely just have a warning label.
