Well worth a read.
Insanity is contagious, especially when financed and FORCED by creatures who are conquering our planet.
I was a mental health nurse for over 40 years, we were taught not to collude with the mentally unwell.
Yet, you still did what Doctors told you to do, and so many of them post-COVID seem to demonstrate a lack of mental stability.
And now they're teaching the exact opposite
I was barely able to do it for a year.
I don't indulge their fantasies, because I don't get paid to do so anymore, and the more pressure they put on me to agree with their delusions, the more I push back.
@@hinduismwithpremananddasbhagat You make incredible assumptions. You have no idea what she did. Many doctors pushed back on COVID narratives too. Many wanted to, but we're afraid of having their careers cancelled (which did happen to many who spoke up). Everyone, on all sides, is being assaulted with menticide. As soon as you start making assumptions about others, and lumping large groups of people into small categories, then you are showing signs of being a victim of the menticide. It's not limited to Woke folk. What we need to do, and I do mean need, is to start helping each other out of insanity, not voice our own flavor.
People who believe in invisible sky daddies are also mentally unwell. I guess we should not collude with you either.
My employer has put signs up in all break rooms at all our marinas. "If you are in need of pronouns you are also in need of a new job" Thank you the management.
😁😅😅
AWESOME!!! I would love to work for an employer like that!
great
Oh that's fantastic! I love that!!
That's actually so heartening. We've enough things to worry about on/near the water
Dave Chappelle nailed it when he said “To what degree do *I* have to participate in *your* self-image?”
When my son's employer required him to put his preferred pronouns in his email tagline, he put "Freedom and Liberty". His supervisor told him that that was unacceptable. My son said, Of course it's acceptable." And absolutely refuse to change it.
Good for him!
Honestly I'd just find a different employer. Is it really worth working with people like that.
Well, if I was working at the same place as your son I know I can trust him with pronouns like that.
He did. He started his own business. He doesn't demand preferred pronouns from himself!😊
@@timothywilliams2021
"You asked me for my preferences. Are you now stating that my preferences are 'unacceptable' ?" Let me just shoot that over to my lawyer..."
I can't believe I live in a society where I'm required to concern myself over a mentally ill person's concerns.
Soo true! F-ing crazy people.
Well, first we elected these crazy people! So, of course they will look out for their own in other aspects of life!
As long as we don't hang out with delusional self-obsessed mentally ill people, we won't need to deal with this pronoun stuff. I rarely remember people's names after first meeting them, now I have to remember their pronouns as well? No way that's happening.
Oh yeah, but we might have to interact with these types in public, at work, etc. So far I haven't been put in these strange situations.
Yep. Me too
I get what you were trying to say but you could have worded that better 💀

I woke up today and realized that I identify as the Queen of England. My personal pronoun is "Your Majesty".
Lol love this 😂
I aim higher - I usually tell a questioner that I self-identify as Emperor of the Universe, my preferred pronouns are "His Galactic Majesty".
GOOD MORNING YOUR MAJESTY.
What about your bosses title? I identify as vice president?

I was filling in a form that asked me to tick my preferred pronouns. I ticked the box that said 'other' and stated 'I leave it up to others to use their common sense when referring to me in the third person. This approach has worked flawlessly for the past 59 years'.
IN 59 YRS I'VE NEVER TICKED ANYTHING

We were once in a situation where we, my husband and I, were asked this question. Without missing a beat my man just said: "either you need to see a optometrist, a ophthalmologist or a psychologist"...
Brilliant!
I haven't heard of them pronouns before. They must be xeno-pronouns.
Love it. The VA has signs encouraging you to give your preferred pronoun. One time when I want to a doctor, upon entering the room, she asked me, "Do You Identify as D____D_____ (my name)? I said, "No, I AM D_______D_______!" Then she asked me do I identify as a male. I said, "No. I AM a male!" And the military wonders why recruiting is at all-time lows.
Best response evah!!!
My pronouns are common/sense.
When asked my preferred pronouns I respond with “your majesty” or “Oh great one”. I’m usually told I’m being silly, to which I respond “well you started it”.
I go by "Your omnipotence"
👏👏👏👏👏💀👏👏👏👏👏
When asked, I've always said "My Lord and Master, or Your Grace" their jaw drops as they walk away.
😂
Mine is 'Your Excellency'.
in a German university there was a faculty meeting and the insane were demanding that everybody declares the preferred pronouns". Major discussion got underway. Then one economist said, "ok, you can have your preferred pronouns. Mine are Mein Führer and Mein Führer." End of debate.
I prefer "Your illustrious magnificence"
wouldn't work in a German university, because the proper address for the president is Magnifizienz, and for the dean Spectabilis. @@rogerrice1772
Always remember; you are not refusing to use 'trans-people's' pronouns, they are refusing to use their own pronouns
False, always remember that it costs you nothing to use a preferred pronoun and refusing to do so just shows you're a bjgot.
I sincerely wish you a very happy self-immolation accident
To quote Dave Chappelle: "one they or many theys?"
I keep it simple when working ...doesn't matter the persuasion of the client ...if they ask about pronouns we say " we charge more for time wasters " ....works like a charm for people who like to stuff the envelope for political purposes .
@@tinman7342 sounds like the kind of rapport you'd get from a garbage buisness.
I’m dealing with a woman at work who changes their pronoun depending how they’re feeling that day. Every morning she sends a message to the team what she is that day. She goes from she/her, they/them, xie/xue and, wolf/ wolfself… It’s chaos. If we misgender her that day, she cries to HR and we are being forced to watch a Diversity, Inclusion and belonging indoctrination video. So many people are fed up and we try to just refer her to her name to avoid this but naturally we slip up. In my opinion, she needs mental health. Not me. Thoughts?
You could ask everybody at work to play the same game -- change pronouns every day. The chaos it would cause at work would force HR to ban the whole mess. Maybe. Or you'd all be stuck watching diversity videos all day.
I would get everyone fed up to go to HR at the same time and tell them that if they don't quit the nonsense, you are all quitting at the same time. They will back down and end this crap ASAP. If the problem is one employee, you fix that employee or fire them.
That's not a mentally or emotionally stable person. So yes, she desperately needs real therapy, not therapy that affirms her illness like is more common today. Good luck getting that through to her though.
Insanity
Tricky one. She is likely unstable but that doesn’t make her a bad employee or make her sackable if she isn’t ( arguably less so in our current environment which emphasises kindness over goodness). If you can move, then do so, otherwise a joint approach to your manager may pay some dividend.
Best response - "I am not mentally ill. What made you think that I'm crazy?"
Gosh that is hilarious😂🎉😮😅😊
I identify as a traditional grammar purist. I shall continue using the rules I was taught in school 60 years ago.
If asked, my response is, "My pronouns are obvious, but feel free to use any you like because I would never presume to control your speech."
I really like this one!!
Best answer EVER!
Score!
Masterful.
That's a good one!
They asked me what I identified as. My response "I don't 'identify' I am an adult human female". Plain and simple.
AMEN!
I identify as a clown.
I'm a liberal. I don't "identify" as a liberal, I simply "observe" that my values are largely consistent with liberals. That leaves me free to depart from the "official" liberal narrative when appropriate. Like with this gender nonsense.
Perfect!
"What is a woman?" The gender identity stuff comes from feminist Judith Butler, who asserted that "all gender is performative", but this idea has now been extended to biological sex too. So a "girl" is instead referred to AFAB (Assigned Female at Birth") as opposed to just... _being_ female, since the doctor and midwife are "performing" the assignment based on visible characteristics (that are pretty clear in almost every case!). Don't ask how I know this - I am surrounded by performative wokery.
I was asked for my pronouns in a client meeting, I took a deep breath and replied "No thank you, I'm too old for pronouns" and that was the end of that.
I would've just said, "No thank you." and left it at that. They don't need a reason why, just a hard NO! It's none of their business anyway.
My pronoun is my name. And my name is my name
@@moosedawg71no way, saying _Im too old for that_ is way better. Mock them
@@stevenwalsh2375that's not how language works
My doctor's nurse (we are well familiar with each other) was recently directed by the doctor to ask my preferred pronouns. We both smiled. I told her "she, her, and Your Majesty". The next time she came in the room she gave me a nice curtsy. We both laughed.
We've been asked by HR to put our pronouns in email signatures and I've refused
You mean Mr. Ms. Mrs. Or Miss? Sir, Mam. so many other sex specific information isn’t enough? Notice that for Mr applies to men regardless of their status married or not but a lady has three tags to describe her being and status as Married or Single or under age? Why is that pertinent? Legal writ concerning women. There was a time that women especially unmarried women or divorced women could not have bank accounts, get loans or have a business license without a husband signing with them as they could not do on their own. Our entire society has lots of legal hang ups over sex and rights and privileges. This generation gender bending in a hopeless era of frustration lack of any meaningful social direction and archaic fossils still present in how we treat each other pretty much is why we have this problem at all.
@@patriceferguson7340 This gender ideology business is still about bringing women to heel. And, maddeningly, too many women just fall right into line, because some squalling, bullying male said to. It's a tough dynamic to break! As the saying goes - people who will believe a man who says he is a woman, but won't believe a woman who says hi isn't, means they know very well who is the man and who is the woman. Yep!
@@patriceferguson7340 its the same reason why you have clothes in your closet that definitely dont fit you any more! we cling to the past for many reasons. Few of them are logical, but still meaningful to us today!
@@inconnu4961 😜😜😜 ah! I don’t actually use a closet. The clothes I have fit me perfectly. Any that don’t get passed on to good will because I don’t plan on ever being plus sized again. One carry on suitcase can store everything I own. Not a fan of collecting stuff.
I’d refuse too. Or make up something completely BS like: “Bing Bong / Wibblebottom”. I have a name that is never a girl name, with the way i spell it, so I don’t want to insult people by thinking they’re communicating with a woman potentially, by adding a He / Him for example. That’s kind of patronising in my view as it should be bloody obvious I’m a bloke.
"It's not against our views; it's against the structure of reality."
If you are referring to the reality specific to man and woman, I would point you to science, specifically the discipline of
Biological Science, which points to the reality of male and female, as God created humans, factually substantiated by by their understood chromosomal structural difference. But you could also just read Gen 1:27 and save yourself some time. Hope that helps you work through it. @trinitybassguitar-ru6dz
I'm going to adopt this. It goes for so many things happening these days.
@trinitybassguitar-ru6dz Reality: things that are there, objectively. Things that can be touched, seen, heard, tasted, smelled, or perceived with any other means and confirmed by independent parties who can perceive the same.
@@richardshortall5987 That's really hypocritical of you Richard. You're admonishing Trinitybassguitar-ru6dz for not understanding what proof and evidence are when you believe that there exists an all powerful, invisible sky pixie who created everything without any proof or evidence for the existence of the pixie.
Good show!
That’s why I’m not a Christian.
When I used to teach in college, on the first day of class, I introduced myself as Mr. So and So and added, "but you may refer to me as Sir. I will refer to you as You." Saved a LOT of trouble.
I’ve also said ‘whatever you like, it’s not up to me’ and met with stunned silence. No one tells me how I get to think about someone else, especially if it’s a lie they’re requiring of me. But answering Male or Female is terrific.
I did some work for someone in another country, who added "she/her" to MY email signature. I told her I don't buy into all of this and don't want them there, and she told me that it's quite common practice where she lives. But the very fact that she chose my pronouns for me negates the very point she was trying to make. Needless to say, I declined to work with her any longer. I honestly can't deal with this nonsense!
OMG, that is total hypocrisy. They just can not see it, with their agenda. I will never have that signature on my emails. It has to be mutual respect.
I am glad you use the phrase "needless to say" when standing on your convictions. The fact you see that as the default shows great integrity.
I would do as you did.
yikes, what a peeve!!!
In my area we had a Supervisor who started using "he/him" with his name. He did this not because he was trans, but because he was "virtue signaling". I called him out for it at the next Board of Supervisors meeting. I said he was putting "he/him" next to his name as if it was a form of transgender credentials. And than I went into the horrible details of medical genital mutilation, and how he is really promoting that when he uses "he/him" with his name. Shame on our so called leaders. Call them out every chance you can if they are promoting such evil.
If someone has to ask my pronouns, I know everything I need to know about them. Pronouns are for reference, not preference. The whole "assigned male/female at birth" is even stranger because male and female aren't genders; they're sexes and they're not assigned; they're observed.
It's impolite to call them chromosomes. Their preferred adjective is woke.
@@havenbastion😂
@@havenbastion you're the GOAT
Anyone who is "identifying" as a particular gender should be checked for latent narcissism. I'm quite certain that you would score a lot of hits.
This nonsense seems to be just a way to feel super spesuhl although the person applying it isn't at all.
@@ourochroma Sorry. Can't help it. ;p
Morgan Freeman once did an interview with Mike Wallace and the topic of ending racism came up. Mike asked Morgan how he thought racism could be ended. Morgan's answer was simply brilliant. He simply said to stop talking about it. Don't categorize things as black or white. Categorize them by what they are. Color doesn't even need to be put into the equation. Truth be told, I think the best way to shut down this type of dialogue is to not entertain it in the first place. Just walk away. People don't have enough sense anymore to just walk away from stupidity. There is a time to speak up, and there is a time to be quiet. Discernment is your greatest weapon. It's funny how you can plant a seed without ever saying a word. It shows that you're not buying into the narrative.
Ironically, blacks love to ignore this interview. :)
I worked for the NHS for over 20 years, 2 years back HR sent out an email saying the Trust support our use of pronouns so I put "Master" down ( I have been training in martial arts all my life and am an 8th Dan black belt Master, it defines everything about me). I got told off and in so much trouble for stating a fact on how I want to be spoken to. It was the start of being pushed out then told to leave.
Perfect opportunity for you to exercise some of your martial arts skills on them!
And people wonder why the NHS is so short-staffed...
I once signed up to an online group for people with ADHD. It was supposedly a support group, I also have 2 children diagnosed so felt it may be a good resource and networking opportunity. I was asked for my pronouns as part of the introduction of myself (which had to be written in a message board) and I politely declined stating I used 'traditional' pronouns as a male. They gave me a warning, I held my ground, they then kicked me out of the group. I messaged them asking how was this 'supportive' and 'inclusive' to those who are neurodivergent, the called me a 'petulant child' and banned me forever. True story
As someone with ADHD this is crazy but sadly not surprising to hear cause in the end these crazy people will just act like kids even when you prove them wrong or want to be yourself. I’d say you saw their true colors and that’s a blessing! You don’t need them as there will be others who will be nicer to you!
You're probably better off especially if you're looking for a group strictly for humans. That one may also include people who identify as kitty cats or ceiling fans.
They are ALL HYPOCRITES.
They are the real intolerant uninclusive ones
Trust me you did yourself a favor……
Leftists are in NO way supportive in ANY capacity: they dictate, and you either follow their beliefs blindly or you’re the enemy
My job pushed before I retired. So my play along pronouns were “your majesty, her royal highness, and goddess divine.” Needless to say, they did not accept and publish them. They never asked me again and my signature block didn’t have pronouns.
I do something similar. Look for my comment 😆😆😆😆
Sublime
That's a win
Mine is 'Your Excellency' 👍
I would fancy 'your excellency'
He's totally correct. I learned in my psychology class years ago to always fight on your turf not theirs. Get them on your playing field and you will win every time.
I was REQUIRED to use pronouns in a graduate degree course, I had 17, yes 17 to choose from. Who knew we had so many scary options! I advised the professor that I do not use pronouns. He again stated to me that pronouns were required in his class. Second class came up and I still did not select my required pronouns. He announced to the entire class that I have yet to select my pronouns. I noticed that the drop down menu allowed you to fill in the blanks - which I did. I advised him and the entire class what my pronouns are with great pride - Human, Earthling Least to say the professor was not pleased. That same evening I dropped out of the program. Their loss, not mine.
As someone who has English as a second language, I'm so mentally prepared for the opportunity when someone introduces herself as, for example, "Jessica she/her", to pretend I think "sheher" is her last name, and keep calling her "Miss Sheher" :)
For bonus points, if she corrects me, like "no, that's not my name, those are my preferred pronouns, that's what I prefer to be addressed with", then I can still keep playing dumb, and ask, "oh, pronouns, like `you` and `me`? So when I address you, I should not use the pronoun `you`, so I should address you in third person? I mean, sorry, I should address sheher in third person?"
eyyyy... don't mind if I borrow your tactics?
That's awesome. I love it 😂
As an english teacher, i approve.
Hilarious.
Me on my way to tell all the Puerto Ricans at my work to do ths
I just had some medical forms emailed to me for my doctor's appointment tomorrow. They asked for my preferred pronouns. I called the practice - that I have been going to for 30 years to tell them that they have just lost my wife and I as patients. We are not going that route and playing their game.
I was in hospital last week and also refused to play that game. My response was "For thousands of years the medical fraternity has recognised 2 genders only. It has also recognised mental illness. Why doesn't it do that now?" Of all disciplines that could stop this in its tracks by refusing to bend its the medical society.
Good luck finding a new hospital or doctor because they are all corrupt... The marxist agendas are taking hold.
It isn't a game. Some people really are transgender. Get used to it
Of all places a medical facility ought to be able to figure it out. If the can't I am not comfortable with them handling my medical needs.
Some people have dissociative disorder (multiple personalities). It would be a strange game, however, to superfluously ask everyone which of their identities they prefer to be addressed as, on the assumption that everyone has the same condition.
"My name is Bill. You may address me as Bill whenever you're speaking with me. Whenever I am not around, you are free to use whatever words you like."
I am currently taking a course in leadership sponsored by my employer. On our first seminar, a woman (also a participant) suggests we write our preferred pronouns on our name tags. She gets a round of applause of course… Everybody starts happily writing their pronouns, but after the seminar people start talking about how dumb it felt. Why is this even a thing when a clear majority is against it?
Because modern day people will do or say anything not to be excluded by the group. It's a sickness.
with everyone clapping too - applauding the idea.
I think the word you're looking for is "cowardly".
A really good friend of mine just retired from being the HR Director at a mid-sized company....maybe 700-800 employees. She said that anytime she got an application or resume (whichever the position in question required) which made a point of including "preferred pronouns," it immediately went into the shredder. She also instituted a "two-interview" policy for all positions. Any prospective employee who insists on particular pronouns at the first interview doesn't get called for a second one.
She, and a bunch of her colleagues in the HR business have learned from experience that people like this are not worth the trouble of having onboard.
As for me, I'm still trying to figure out a way to include the F-word as one of my pronouns. I'm at an age now where I really don't care.
I can help. If someone persists in asking for my pronouns after I decline to state them, then my pronouns suddenly become "F***/YOU". I encourage everyone to consider this option.
it, F it !
How about F you and F you’s guys.
My pronouns are I/Me. Use them.
Maybe stay away from the fuk/fukself option.
I told my boss I was feeling attacked, because they weren't providing me with my 'preferred salary'. Surprisingly, the gender ideology wasn't applicable to my preferences..
If they don't give you your preferred salary, just quit. You can take your moral righteousness to the unemployment line. If you want to play the game of identifying as making 10x your current salary, let the IRS tax you at that preferred rate.
You think salary and gender identity are the same thing?
@@colinmattsNo. Salary is actually fluid.
@@mkshffr4936 So is gender. But there's no biology supporting your salary choice.
@@colinmatts No it is not. Ishtar is wrong on that point.
Lord , master , your grace all of these will do
When someone asks me that, I just reply " gee, I never thought about that. I'll have to get back to you." Blows their mind!
That will probably be my response too if I'm ever asked. I've just never given it any thought.
😂
Good one!
I think the better answer is "I'm not unstable or arrogant enough to demand that other people use particular pronouns when they speak about me."
Exactly. Word salads are like getting the numbing agent for the actual shot after the tooth has been pulled.
No. Thats the trap, and its easy to fall in. If you use that tactic to try to confuse the issue, thet will if they are clever and its not hard to be this clever, they will intentionally misgender you and get you to by default state what your identity is. Or your understanding of it.
So you're too arrogant or unstable to be courteous and respectful of how others want to be identified?
@colinmatts Listening to someone tell you, I want you to identify me a specific way defeats the point of identifying something. How I identify anything is exactly how identify it. If I see something that is blue, I say that it is blue. I'm not going to change how I identify things because you are color blind.
@@robertp5998 So you just don't care about respecting people's choices?
“If you paint a dog’s tail into a leg how many legs does the dog now have? The answer is still four. Just because you change its appearance doesn’t mean you’ve changed the reality.”
Dogs are a poor subject for parable. Theyre vermin. God didnt create them
If a dog is born without one of its legs, how many legs does it have? The answer is still four. Just because you were born missing a leg doesn’t mean you’ve changed reality.
@@baconboyxywell no, that specific dog has three legs if it was born missing one of the four it naturally has. Dogs by nature, by design, have four legs.
@@Mojo32 Similarly, the specific people this video targets (trans people) were born with gender based characteristics that do not conform with their sex at birth. Humans, overall, are usually cisgender.
@@baconboyxy To them, what doesn't "conform?" Their mentality of the matter? Because biologically humans are born "xx" or "xy." Correct?
On forms and stuff, I have been putting beep/bop/boop. I love this for in person interactions!
I would walk away from delusional individuals. Do not engage in the first place. That's best advice as far as I'm concerned.
I am a Marine Corps veteran and speak on this subject with some authority. Somewhere on Parris Island Marine Recruit Depot, is a Marine D.I. (Drill Instructor) "Welcoming" his new busload of recruits around "O - Dark Hundred" hours - "My name is Gunnery Sergeant xxxxxx, and my pronouns are SIR !"
Sgts are not Sir - sgts work for a living
Yep. His pronoun is YES, DRILL SARGENT!!
@@cosmiccowboy7764 Hah, I thought exactly the same thing. Love it......
I would have followed that statement by saying “it may be preceded by a “Yes” and occasionally a “no”.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Indeed, it is! SIR
An important rhetorical point I have been making for years now,
I have no "preferred pronouns," I'm not proud of my sexuality either and I think it's silly that others are.
Pride in the absence of humility is vanity, and I don't value that as social currency.
I also like to have this question on deck when I'm faced with those dealing in gender delusion:
"If genitals are no indication of gender, because it's all just made up by society, right?
Then how does removing or mutilating them constitute an affirmation?"
Also, "gender affirming care does NOT affirm one's gender, it affirms a delusion, demands the rest of us participate in it, and recommends amputation of healthy organs for no other reason than satisfying one's feelings/dysphoria."
@Bobcat9
If a trans man can idenify as a man, then can men identify as trans men?
@@aahyes9068 A trans man is not a man, because a man is one who is not trans. A trans man is still a woman, dressed like a man. Transgender is a fallacy, those people should be called transvestites instead.
Being male or female is a developmental process that cannot be transitioned, and no amount of surgery or therapy or social affirmation can change, or transition the biological facts and nominal values of sexual dimorphism.
Well said
@@aahyes9068 why? I mean the communication here is Transition. If you are already a male you are not not trying be something else? To transition would be for you to emulate something else.

When I am asked what pronouns are?
I respond:
"Thank you for applying but the position has been filled"
My favorite is "Master and Commander"
Thank you for saying, "It's against the structure of reality" pretty much sums up this decade!
Transgender is part of the structure of reality. Where have you been all your life
It does seem a bit weird hearing this from someone who has an imaginary friend. I suppose we all have our delusions...
I'd say it sums up the millennium so far!
2000 was the last year of the 2nd millennium CE (the 2 gives it away) but the millions who can't count wanted it to be the first year of the 3rd millennium, and the minority had to put up with it.
Hey, I was asked this question, "What's your preferred pronouns?" this morning in my school today, I feel like God sent me this vid prior to today and gave me the knowledge to answer back to the teacher in my homeroom who asked me and every student. So I responded saying, I don't have a preferred pronoun, I have a sex as a male. The teacher was processing for awhile and said so you have a preferred pronoun, and I said no I don't have a preferred pronoun, is not my preference is just my objective reality fact that I'm a male and automatically translate to he/him and not otherwise, because is not my preference.
Thats great!
Forewarned is forearmed, good saying.
Well said!
well, since you don't prefer he/him, I suppose you should get used to hearing she/her! no preferences means all pronouns are allowed for you ❤
it's okay to be cis, dude. you're allowed to be male and he/him.
guess what? no one really cares! if they asked, it just means they wanted to offer you the respect of not assuming anything about you. if the question offends you, maybe you, like the guy in the video, need to do some inner reflection, rather than lashing out.
Mine are always HRH and YM.
"His Royal Highness" and "Your Majesty", as I say that I identify as one of the British Royal Family.
It works a treat, even for online forms.
& since we are ALL Homo Sapien Sapiens, we are ONE family & except for immediate family, we are all distant cousins.....sooooo your majesty or your royal highness is totally perfect.

I get by with You and Me. They're a lot nicer than what I am thinking and they are correct.
Matt Walsh once wondered why we can't also have our own adjectives. If you can pick your pronouns, he argued, then I can pick my adjectives and my adjectives are handsome and brilliant, and every time I am referred to you have to include those adjectives.
hahaha!! good!
Yeah I’ve seen him say that a couple times, once on Dr Phil and another in a regular TH-cam video.
My adjectives are correct/always correct
Gee , you've got better adjectives than me. I've been going with blood-simple and homely but now I think I might upgrade to average and acceptable...
Actually. You can pick your own adjectives. You can say "I am American", or "I am catholic". No problem there.
"What are your pronouns?" My response: "What a bizzare thing to ask a complete stranger." All the while looking at them like they are insanely bizzare.
Ahhhh, yes... The two main intellects that have formed my apologetic equipping, although years ago, so happy to see them going strong!
God bless them both!

The answer to "State your pronouns" or "What ate your pronouns" is, and can only ever be "I, my, me, mine." Because it's true. A person can only ever use these pronouns to refer to one's self.
It's about how you want others to refer to you
Good take. I guess these are 1st person pronouns.

I don't know what an interchangeable gender is, and I bet you don't either.
What does it matter? I’m not wasting my energy trying to convince someone of something they do not want to believe or hear. You do you and I’ll do me means exactly that. So long as them doing them doesn’t interfere with me doing me I couldn’t care less.
Love whomever you love. I don’t care what you do in your bedroom. So long as your private life doesn’t negatively impact my brand or me, we will get along just fine. However, don’t expect or try to force me to play along with whatever your gender/pronoun of the day is. You be you and leave me be.
My pronouns are me, myself and I. They are the pronouns I use to refer to myself. How you refer to me is neither my business nor my concern. The words you use are up to you, and the words I use in reference to myself or anyone else are up to me.
I tend not to run in circles where pronouns get asked for, but I was playing a game once where the game master asked my character’s pronouns. My response was, “He’s male.” It confused the guy for a second. I could see him wrestling with whether or not to press me for the orthodox phrasing of “he/him.” He chose to let my answer stand instead of risking drama at the table. It felt like a win for common sense.
So instead of just answering the question honestly, you decided to be prickly. How is that a win for common sense?
I like it. You stated a reality. And he can now address the reality in the language being used with what aligns with being male. As is done through out history.

Brilliant approach. Ask questions they’ll find very hard to answer. Your work is done. Civilly.
I am a college student and when asked to write what my preferred pronouns are, I leave it blank.
If your at work or on a meeting and they have people to state and their name and preferred pronouns I answer: Its important to have inclusivity and diversity but to truly have that you must have diversity of thought and I don’t participate in the pronoun game and thank you for being inclusive of my views .
Why do you think it's a game? Why not just state your name and your pronouns when asked and move on with the meeting?
It is a game @miconis123. But it is you that believes it is a game. Because you are asking others to participate in a game that should not be played when in a serious world. When a kid says he is a ninja at 5 years old it's fine. When you say you are a ninja at 25 years old, maybe your views shouldn't be taken seriously.

If we bend a little, eventually we end up completely flattened. We do need to stand united, unfortunately, there are those that like to separate themselves out. In the past, these people were pushed out of society. Now, they are pushing back to be included. We've included so many of these half wits, that not only are we dumbing down our society, but we are pushing each person into a box. There are so many minority groups, like the trans and alphabet people that the segregation gaps are now so wide to distinctly cover each individual group. We are barely united and what once was the majority (biological men and women) has now become so marginalized that our opinions no longer count. We cannot go on like this for much longer without imploding.
When societies get this far gone, there's war, and self destruction and the society falls. I'm just waiting for that, because that will force people to reunite and live just a bit better.
Last time I got asked about my pronouns I told them, "I think you can see that I'm a man." It is important to no play along and voice that strongly for others to see that they are not alone. Just remember, they have no qualms of calling someone an old white man.
Perhaps it’s not as easy to see as you protest it to be?

I used to have a manager who I could very clearly see was a man, and used male pronouns....well, turns out that it was a female who went through the entire transitioning process to the point where even I could NOT tell that she used to be female😳. She even had a wife. I didn't know until the manager left that job to move to her home state. So it doesn't say much by saying "you can clearly see that I'm a man". I was deceived by going by what I SAW. And trust me, if you met this person, you would also be deceived. Some of them transition very well to where no one can tell.
I have to say though, that was by far the best managers I've ever worked with/under. I was secretly sad when she/he quit to move away. 😔 Kindest human being I've ever met.
The way I found out was by her legal name, which she hasn't changed, on the schedule list. For some reason God kept that info away from me until AFTER she quit, maybe because God knew I wouldn't want to comply with the male name that manager wanted to go by. For about 1-2 years, I didn't know the legal name and real gender of my manager.
When I’m asked what are my preferred pronouns here’s my response;
Monday, and the date is an odd number, I prefer Kalugala. If date is even I prefer Schelethalatta.
Tuesdays & Wednesday, Eeka during the day but after 4pm CST it’s Bergusch.
Thursday thru Friday, Hamalamma-dingdong except for September and October when I prefer Hamalamma-dongdang.
Weekends, He/Him but if I’m wearing anything with blue in it, it’s jambalaya.
If they begin to write all this down of course I become indignant and belligerent, “What. I’m not important enough for you to remember this. You don’t like me enough to know this by heart?”
We're not required to live in anyone's mental illness or fantasy worlds. I truly don't care if that makes them angry or uncomfortable. It's not my job to be their surrogate therapist. Therapists get PAID to make you feel better about yourself. So it definitely isn't my responsibility to make anyone feel better at my expense. You don't get to bend or break the rules of reality just because your reality is broken. They need to deal with it.
When they state their preferred pronouns just say "Sure" or "ok" and then never use pronouns for them again at all. From that moment forward always use their name and only their name when referring to them "What does Charlene think about this? You will have to go ask Charlene that" or "I was talking to Charlene yesterday, and Charlene said that Charlene wants to go with the cheaper vendor". Easy as pie. If they notice and complain, don't deny it, just explain that you are both respecting their wish not to be 'mis-gendered' while at the same time being true to your own belief in biological gender. Cut off any attempt to argue further with "I'm sorry, but I don't want to have political discussions at work, please respect that"
As for being asked your 'preferred pronouns', the one time an emailer at work asked that I just answered "Sorry, I don't participate in pronouns" and when she came back edgy and (expecting my resistance) asked me to respect hers I said "Sure Charlene, will do!" See above paragraph 😁
Politically, to force someone to speak what they don't believe is an obedience-humiliation ritual. You are showing them you are boss and they had better comply or else. That is why communists in Stalinist Russia and Maoist China insisted the starving and impoverished population publicly and frequently gather for meetings to loudly declare that life had never been better since the glorious Revolution and they were so happy to live in the workers paradise!
To be forced to say what you know is a lie humiliates a person, it shows who has power and who doesn't.
love your response!
Excellent, thank you.
It's a good solution. I am a teacher, and I do the same with my transgender students. Avoid pronouns and refer to them by name only. I care for them, and I do not want to hurt their feelings, but at the same time I do not buy into this ideology myself, unless we are talking about an actual idelogical sex change.
Get off your horse. We "force" people to say something all the time. We correct others if they mispronounce our name, we inform them if we change our last name, or prefer another first name, if we rather not have them use our nickname in formal situations, or if they assign them the wrong nationality or religion.
Or even when they tell you their name for the first time. Do you really expect them to use the name you are giving them, without proof? Yes, we do.
@@krullben True, but beside the point. The pronoun gambit is clearly to get me to validate the idea that we choose our gender, which I reject.
I hire. *If you hire, **_immediately_** chuck any resume with pronouns.* It's very kind of them to warn us of potential work issues & lawsuits & potential for Dark Triad behavior.

At my dentist surgery every time you go you have to first complete a form about your general health. One question is "Are you currently pregnant?" I always tick 'yes'. (I'm male) No-one has ever queried it.

I think if I'm ever asked what my preferred pronouns are I'll probably just walk away. No one I care to have a conversation with would ask that question. I've heard the argument "I was just being polite so I wouldn't offend you." I think it's offensive to assume someone you just met has a mental disorder or isn't smart enough to understand how gender works.
I just say "Homey don't play dat."
I like that you'd just walk away. I will too if I can. When I've been asked, it was with a list of other things so I just skipped over that part.
It's a lie anyway. They weren't being polite, they were signaling their cancerous views. Walking away is the right play. Message received.
@@bujharvard9313 I like this one.
I don’t recognise the term “cis gender” and will continually ask for clarification if questioned about this or my pronouns until the questioner gives up and goes away. I’ve found treating such people as though they have invented a nonsensical language has been very effective.
Thank you for showing us very wise and tactical ways of dealing with this woke culture!
Greg makes a great point to put the ball back in their court. Ask a question, “Why are you asking me to be inauthentic to my own beliefs?”
There's an additional benefit to the tactic. There will undoubtedly be some that won't cooperate. Those are the real snakes who don't care that they're asking you to be inauthentic.
It's so pathetic that you think answering the question with the pronoun you honestly use for yourself is "inauthentic".
You're basically the type of snowflake that melts over anything.

@@commenter4563-xo2wt "No one's forcing you to pray"
No one COULD force me to pray. The point is I am not going to bow my head and pretend to participate in their little ceremony, and if some of them notice I didn't and are offended, it is because they chose to take offense.
"so nothing to complain about."
Not participating in their ritual is NOT complaining about it. It's simply ignoring it.
A line that sets the point, (and gets a laugh from people with a sense of humor). "I don't have pro nouns, I have amateur nouns" If they inquire more, "I'm not offended if you get it wrong."
I have said the same thing. My complete statement is sometimes: "Most of us only have amateur nouns. Some people have semi-pro nouns. Only a select few have pro nouns."
"I'm not offended if you get it wrong."
I'll bet you're not even offended if they get it right. I bet you don't even pretend they got it wrong. "CIS" stands for "correctly identified sex"

Somewhere along there the “rrrrrrreeeeee!!!!!” Would have come out and you would be called all kinds of names and they would be walking away screaming victory and you would be slowly shaking your head in disbelief. That’s where we are.
Fortunately, I've never been asked. But if they did, my response is "I don't believe in pronouns. Use my first name whenever you refer to me. So "name/name/name's".
we aren't commanded to be "nice" we are commanded to be KIND. to be nice means we play into their narrative.
Well, to be nice is to be agreeable and pleasant. So, yeah. With that being said, it just feels fake to ask someone to be nice because then that would technically be an act. It's likely a lie.
Perhaps it's best to ask back to that person what they mean by being nice. And if they generate those two words, ask - what if I don't agree? Why should I be pleasant? Let them answer.

This reinforces the policy I have when teaching. I refuse to issue to students a questionnaire concerning their preferred pronouns or to include any statement about pronouns in my syllabus. Those who promote doing such things understand them to be ideologically neutral, but they are in fact promoting a specific (and novel) gender ideology.
@@sterlingfallsproductions3930 Thanks for the question! My first response is to ask you a similar question: Why would you seek to offend somebody by asking for that person's pronouns and thereby suggesting that the person's appearance and demeanor does not clearly indicate that person's sex? If somebody asks for my pronouns, it is off-putting. "Can't you tell?" is what I feel like replying.
You may respond by asserting that asking for pronouns is legitimate because sex is not gender and pronouns are not anchored in sex or in the characteristics associated with it. But that is not at all ideologically neutral. In fact, it is an ideology that many reject as immoral and harmful, including Christians.
This means that, if I were to issue a questionnaire about preferred pronouns in my classroom, I would be forcing many of my students to implicitly affirm an ideology that they have strong convictions against. And, even if they simply declined to fill out the questionnaire, its very existence would give official weight to the ideology behind it. It would be akin to my devoting a section of my syllabus to asserting a Biblical understanding of gender and sexuality.

Because if they do that, the cult loses it's power.
Both electro shock therapy and electroconvulsive therapy along with lobotomy was performed on trans people and gay people. After 40+ years of experiments the conclusion was that these ways of trying to correct the person was abuse and became illegal to perform.
If you read the history of medicine about trans people, you would find that the best practice is what is currently what is taking place, confirming care and hormone treatment.

The problem was with the particular treatment used, not the intent of the treatment. You aren't as well-informed as you intend to be.
When asked about my preferred pronouns, I have tended just to say that it is a personal matter, and that I am not comfortable discussing the issue.
