Mai pronouns arrrrrrrrre
Oh ACLU…
Some of our personal favorite Thanksgiving conversation starters:
💬 “My pronouns are…”
💬 “Firing people for being LGBTQ is illegal and Trump asked SCOTUS to change that”
💬 “Who loved Pose season 2?”
💬 “Please pass the pie, and the Equality Act”
I think Chase Strangio meant conversation enders.
I recently had a D&D game where one of the players insisted on knowing a shapeshifter’s pronouns. When I replied that they were irrelevant he insisted that it must be “they”. Which was forcing the shapeshifter into a box.
Those are all excellent was to identify yourself as an incredible bore.
Holms, right up there with starting the conversation with John 3:16 or Do you have anything appropriate for my paleo diet (or keto, or GF, or whatever other mush diet said person is on – never, ever, ever eat dinner with someone who follows some sort of trendy diet like keto!).
It does seem that somebody starting a conversation with “my pronouns are” might as well wear a hat with a flashing light and “AVOID ME” written in neon tubing around the hatband.
Since the face to face pronouns have no gender; it implies they think you’ll be discussing them in their absence and that the exact words used will get back to them – or maybe it’s just grandstanding bollocks.
It does bring up one interesting question: is “that dickhead” gendered, because I suspect that’s the descriptor that’s most likely to be used in place of any preferred pronoun.
