  • Grammar isn’t a tool to constrain thought. Grammar is a tool to assist in writing.

    Gender is a social construct. Gender is made up. People experience gender in different ways. Some people experience gender in ways that cannot be put into words.

    If you can’t tolerate people here using pronouns that challenge your world view, this instance is not for you. We are not interested in conforming to your personal view of gender. We do not tolerate intolerance.


  • Thankfully no one in these posts is claiming to be an ubermensch. Grammar is a tool to assist in writing, not a set of laws that need to be obeyed or officially amended. Dictionaries are best when they are descriptive and not prescriptive. Grammar guidelines are the same way. No one should have to wait for some English professor to say it’s okay to exist, via grammatical correctness, to feel accepted.

    Grail openly claims narcissistic personality disorder. And then acts like the word “narcissist” is a slur. This is not a gender issue, this is a them issue. They want to be special and immune and always correcting the little people about how they’re permitted to disagree.

    Notice how you were able to narrow your focus in your argument to the actual people in question and not entire groups. Please continue to discuss this topic in this narrower way.



  • This drama got started over not capitalizing a pronoun. From a perspective of wanting to get people’s pronouns correct, the underling reason why a group of people would want pronouns referring to members of that group capitalized doesn’t matter. The fact a person asked for the pronouns in question to be capitalized should be reason enough to do so.

    There are people who use emojis as pronouns. Like (🙂🎃/💃🕶️) or 🎱. The combinations are unique to every individual and can change. These people’s experience with gender is highly individual and cannot be put into words. They are all welcome and accepted by the LGBTQ+ community.
