[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (3 children) Can someone explain this to me. What does student policy have to do with space or online posts? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] barsquid@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago It doesn't, Texas is probably better for taxes. He's just being a bigot to "own the libs" or whatever the real reason is. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children) Like most extremely outspoken people with a phobia like this. He's probably a closet wannabe trans. Actually, the more I think about it, it kinda fits for him/her ... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago You know... that does kind of track. Back in the 2010's when the hot topic was gay rights, some of the most zealot anti-gay right wingers... were found to dabble in the very least. And this is some loud stuff that has no direct connection to him, so... yeah. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Even if he is closeted, you should still respect his pronouns. It's still bigotry when you do it, just like when any transphobe does it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I agree that we should use people's preferred pronouns. I know it's difficult to use neopronouns but it's so seldom an issue let's just get on with life. Elon has protested being identified as a cisgender male, and declared that 'prosecute/Fauci' should be used. Prosecute has also mentioned that prosecute doesn't really like people making a big deal about pronouns so let's just move on. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Let's move on so you dont have to examine your behavior here or how it may harm the community you are supposedly standing up for permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Honestly I'd be happy to examine my behavior, because my support for the trans community is real. I don't think I'm on trial but if you want me to provide evidence I can. I don't agree with the strategy of the previous poster which was to intentionally mislabel Elon. But I think it is appropriate to ironically adopt someone's insincerely adopted pronouns. That said, I'd be happy to read an explanation of why this is a bad strategy.
