This libfem was in my LinkedIn feed lecturing women why WE should specify our pronouns professionally to show solidarity with trans people. Sorry, I’m not stating the obvious to make <0.1% of people with a mental illness happy.

I do not care what pronouns people use to refer to me in their own heads. I cannot control other people.
Instead of truly feeling comfortable in their own skin, these people are instead demanding other people give them attention, because they very clearly are not comfortable in their own skin.
basically this.
“Removing the right of assumption” good Christ, shall I go ahead and preemptively pluck out my eyeballs for these lunatics while we’re at it?
'I don't see gender' is going to be the new 'i don't see race' in a few years
People are extremely good at identifying which sex one person is. The fact someone identifies with she/her does not mean i cannot see they are male in 99% of cases. Sorry Sam Smith, everyone and their blind grandmas can see you are a dude
They don’t see gender but know exactly who to go to if they want a surrogate
I think we should all just start playing dumb. Be like "What? But you're obviously a guy, why would i call you she? What?"
Yes. This is wonderful.
And what if we want to be ambiguously gendered? I'm totally ok with people who haven't seen my face yet thinking my unisex arabic name is male
Then you’re non-binary and should go by xe/xir (I’m being sarcastic but that’s what they think)
Lol well I’ve had people “assume” that I’m a “they” just because I don’t fit their idea of what a woman should dress like, so so much for the no assumptions thing
Shouldn’t trans people want us to assume their pronouns if they “pass”? I guess they don’t pass.
Looks like the entire concept of passing is now problematic. You now don't need to put in any real effort to pass. I've had a fun time working with a "she" who hadn't shave the face for a week, but had nice pink lipstick every day.
Men are not entitled to feel comfortable pretending to be women.
I don't give a rats ass about pronouns to be honest. You're either a man/woman, and everybody can tell if you're a man or a woman. Pronouns don't change the fact that you're delusional.
Do they think about it when they have to assume their cat is a really a cat and wants to be named cookie?
I'd laugh but there are some libfems who are already against "assuming the gender" of your pets.
That doesn't surprise me at all 😂
Well maybe they should tell that to TIM Andrea Long Chu who assumes their spayed male cat is actually a girl
first of all: LinkedIn culture is a disease (not bashing OP, every single LinkedIn post EVER is the worst).
second thanks but no thanks??? I will do something for the good of men once they do at least one thing for women. literally pick anything and just do it with no complaining, no “not all men”, no “but the way she dressed” this and that. they’ve been in debt for about a billion years, let them make the first move.
You never see men with “He/Him” on their profile 🤷♀️ It’s almost like this is about female submission
Bingo.
Seriously, I’m not labeling my professional social media “vulva haver/menstruator”
I would seriously throw out someone’s resume if they listed their pronouns on LinkedIn. Can you imagine the nonstop petty HR complaints they’d file?
Libfems are trying to Normalize something that can't be normalized. And now they are trying to Normalize referring to Sexual Orientations through the lens of Gender.
I'm so tired of their BS.
Can’t we just solve this problem by adding Miss, Ms, Mrs or Mr on our signature lines?
No. Men’s titles never change. Women’s do in relation to their marital status, which is sexist.
That is why Ms. was created.
Miss and Mrs are related to marital status.
But it’s lost that original purpose and people take it to mean you’re divorced
I have never heard that before.
Really? Everyone I know take Miss to mean unmarried, Misses to mean married, and Mizz to mean divorced.
ok . for one thing , 0.1% of nearly eight billion people is an insanely large amount of people (even though the real number is 0.58%, but i guess being accurate in the information you give doesn't matter when you're being terfy). it's also an established medical consensus that trans people are real and are valid in identifying with the gender they identify with . gender and sex are linked , yes , but not inextricably so . also , asking for someone's pronouns isn't hard , and literally only has positive effects , so what's the problem ?
I don’t need to specify that I have a vagina on my professional work profile in order to validate men who are appropriating womanhood.
it's not the appropriation of womanhood , its women who were denied it for years finally claiming their womanhood . there is quite a bit of scientific merit in the claim that trans women are real women . also , you don't have to say you have a vagina , just that you're a woman . there's a difference .
No. There’s not. We don’t buy that brand of sexism and delusion here.
There’s no claiming womanhood. You are or you aren’t.
in what way is it sexist to believe trans women are real women ? and it's not a delusion if most credible medical experts agree that trans people are the gender they identify with .
and trans women are . simple as that .
Go somewhere else with that. You’re wasting your breath. Trans women are men who can’t accept themselves: that they have bodies that society says should act masculine but the desire to act feminine. Instead of accepting that, they try to appropriate womanhood to suit their purposes.
Live whatever delusion you want, but know that 99% of the world will always think of you as a man. Stay out of our bathrooms, sports, prisons, and don’t you dare equate your mental illness with our biological reality.
I'm gonna "be terfy" some more, is that okay? You should look into what it means to have an established medical consensus around this topic- read any primary source, critically think about what the conclusions of the study actually mean, and then research about what happens to people who try to publish any scientific evidence to the contrary. This is not a specific claim about everything, it's just generic good advice that is usually missing from your side. There's a lot of "game of telephone" going on
Gender critical people don't believe in psychological "gender" that is an object like part of personality, you maybe do. That's a difference. How would your movement accommodate people, mostly girls and women, who feel more comfortable not constantly being reminded of a system they feel in their bones to be oppressive?
I am this close to putting my pronouns in my bios as "I/me/my" because literally those are the only pronouns I associate *my*self with. What you call me is not my business
Well that concept is just chock full of problems, isn’t it? Where to begin.....
I get treated like shit all the time because every man assumes I’m a woman 🤷♀️
