    Normal non-fascist-reactionary people have the ability to distinguish between ridiculous bad faith pearl clutching (what you are doing now) and earnest expressions of identity.

      My response is always to use whatever pronouns the person I’m talking to says are right. If it’s all alt-right troll, oh well. Maybe they’ll have half a moment of self reflection and realize how ridiculous it would be for nonbinary folk to lie about their pronouns all the time, day in and day out. Maybe they’ll realize that it would be exhausting having to lie just for the sake of… attention? Which wouldn’t make sense in the first place, because unfortunately the majority of attention that you get from being nonbinary in public is explicitly hatred.

      I know that hoping for conservatives to actually reflect on how they make people feel is a pipe dream, but if a man can’t dream, what can he do?

        The only one pulling shit out of their ass is you and your ridiculous pearl clutching slippery slope bullshit. If you don’t do stupid shit, you won’t get in trouble (and before you go all pedantic douche, I’m meaning in the context of gender discrimination and harassment).

          Going from two genders for centuries to 100 in 10 years? Yeah, definitly not pulled out of the ass.

            It was 70 in the last comment. They’ve already added 30 more? My gods! … or are you still just pulling shit out of your ass?

              Didn’t know you were that disadvantaged that you need a big red arrow saying hyperbole pointing to the number.

              It was very ableist of me and I am sorry for it.

                Your obvious failings aside, the core of your comments indicate you have absolutely no idea how gender and sexual identity work. You’ve been fed lies and misinformation that you now don’t question. When someone presents you with the truth, you discard it and build on top of the lies you’ve been fed with more lies and misinformation.

                  Ah yes, the truth that “anyone can be whatever they want for whatever reason”.

                    That’s exactly my point. That’s such a naive and misinformed take. You’re not even willing to learn. Just spewing the propaganda you’ve been fed.
