Being Gendered Correctly

[Bakiraka]

fixed. Though given your insensitivity to the original poster, and use of basically the idiom "Race card" i doubt I'd enjoy discussing anything with you to be honest

You are off to a great start with your first four posts, leaving a wonderful impression.

People gang up on my friend to tell her her feelings are irrelevant, and i responded to that simply saying I probably wouldn't enjoy talking to this person.

these people accuse my friend of being overly sensitive, yet I am apparently being such a jerk in saying I don't really like talking to someone because they are being mean and have opposing viewpoints?

If not liking someone makes me a jerk, what does telling someone who's expressed being hurt by insensitive behavior, that her feelings are irrelevant and a burden on everyone else, make those people?

I'm not a mean person. I do not subscribe to this culture of believing apathy is cool, that's all

I whole-heartedly agree with you. But as they say, one man's meat is another man's poison.

Have you learned nothing in this thread? It should be "One they's meat is another they's poison."

Have you learned nothing? They're talking about pronouns to avoid gendering entirely, so it'd be "They they's meat is another they's poison"

Thank you for the correction, but I suppose we should take this further then just pronouns. When I think of meat, I think more male than female, men are meat eaters, vegans tend to be women, men wanting to be women, or men being forced to be by women, where I think poison as a more feminine word, it's a less physical form of killing. So really the saying should be "They they's it is another they's it." Hopefully this version won't be offensive to anyone.

Oh, and my take on the words meat and poison are my own personal thoughts, I am not trying to stereotype steak eating women, because I have known a few that could throw some beef down, like if you had to define a word as feminine or masculine as soon as you hear the word, that is what my response would be.

I'd like to point out this quote really quickly where the person politely requested

Don't call me "it".

So the phrase should be read "They they's they is another they's they.
