To call her "him", one has to go out of their way to look up her history and social media presence, and then make the deliberate decision to use words she'd feel insulted by. This is creepy and weird.

Not only is calling her a "she" a basic decency, it's also far quicker and simpler

why cant we adress people depending on their biological sex? it would make everything easier and people can still feel whatever they feel / want to feel / think what they feel.

Because forcing you to address them as something they are not is a power move. That's it, that's the extent of it. It let's them feel they have power over other's, by forcing them to adhere to that which is not real.

Because you can't always tell what someone's biological sex is just by looking at them, so how would you determine that? Are you gonna force people to do chromosome testing before you decide what to refer to them as? Check out what they got in their pants?

Or you know, we could just ask them what they prefer to go by or have them tell us and just not be weirdos about it like polite, mature adults.

Like, we just saw a good example of this with that Algerian boxer at the Olympics, and now she is rightfully taking legal action against the weird ass people who "decided" what they thought was her biological sex based off just ~vibes~.

Why are forum moderators allowing all these threads that are just pages and pages of political ideology?

Unless you’re here to tell me that the Ul’dahn sultanate are all reptiles, the ‘pirates’ in Limsa were hired actors, or that Gridanians literally sacrifice their kids to elementals every so often and they’re transmogrified into a separate race, I don’t wanna hear it. One of those three things is true.

I...I don't know how to explain social queues to people like you. It's like trying to explain to your weird uncle that it's not appropriate to ask a woman how far along she is. It's just weird.

I got a better question: why are we going on about this in an FF14 thread? It's deplorable how Sena Bryer is being treated by parts of the fanbase right now, but using it to furnish this argument for the umpteenth time does her a disservice.

I genuinely don't understand the thought process of people like you who believe that anyone who doesn't agree with you has to be conservative/republican/right-wing/alt-right.

Are you just not aware that there's an entire spectrum of political beliefs and it isn't all just black & white or left & right?

Individuality is a thing, my guy.

90% (and that's being generous on your behalf) of cases, you can.

Honestly, the only real reason she's receiving any vitriol past the typical trash online personalities get on a regular basis is because Sena is an attention seeker. People hate attention seekers. Especially when they use things like identity, sex, class, or handicap as a shield from criticism.
