"Beryl? Even our Hurricanes are gender non-binary now."
That's what he said in response to the National Hurricane Center posting the latest satellite image of the storm.
It's not nonsense. It's a sustained attack on both people and science. This kind of message brings the science deniers and bigots closer together, helping to shore up that base and give it common ground.
It gives them a new point of focus rather than the record-breaking severity of Beryl this early in the year.
How is that sentence an attack in any way?
The liberals can’t even let you fuck the hurricanes anymore.
I kinda want to start a fake movement to rename hurricanes as "themicanes", just to piss off dipshit goobers like this.
Why fake?
This made me chuckle. Thanks.
Related: my buddy was wearing a romphim the other day at a party. It's like a romper but for men.

People with "Jr" in their name don't get to make fun of other names.
Especially when their dad doesn't even love them.
A couple of things:
More importantly though...
I've heard some of them self identify as typhoons
I see, We really should check if they see themselves as agender or nonbinary then.
"Donald Trump Jr claims..."
Sorry, I stopped paying attention. But also, I'm not sorry.
DON’T FEED THE TROLLS
I usually say this about the comments, but this is about the article itself.
I would not say the most prominent LGBT+ news outlet is trolling. They report on bigotry. It's part of their job.
This shit is what the Trumps feed off of. It’s what gives them their power.
They already have power and queer people need to know when that power is wielded against them. That nonbinary people are becoming as big a target as trans people is something that people, especially nonbinary people, need to stay informed about.
How is his saying this an example of them being targeted?
You do realize he's complaining about nonbinary people's names, right?
And this guy saying he thinks Beryl is a non-binary name isn’t bigotry. Perhaps they’re targeting him for something else that he did that was bigoted? Did he do something else like that?
This is the sort of thing that a non-queer person coming from a position of privilege would say.
Why do we care about what that human-mouthed pile of shit has to say?
Exactly. Sorry OP but I'm downvoting this post because this turd sandwich does not need any clout.
But is it weird? Beryl is a decidedly androgynous name.
What’s weird is that his saying this turned into a news story.
There is a judge - Beryl Howell - who has given some (correctly) unfavorable rulings in Trump cases. Can't help but think he's talking about the name because of her.
Guess we’ll never know unless someone wastes the energy to find out.
What’s weird is that he’s complaining about androgynous names. Was he born yesterday?
Who cares?
Queen Beryl is nb ?
Wouldn't their title be Monarch Beryl then? Also it would kinda fit in Sailor Moon since we had Uranus and Neptune being roommates together.
Yeah, I'm just assuming "Queen" is their first name since that's how they're referred to.
Cokehead MAGAt says what?
Good, all names should be non binary.
[angry high-frequency noises]
Coercive human gender norms are to be consigned to the dustbin of history, either through progress or via the self-extinction of humanity. Whichever comes first.
Fucking amen. We must do away with all coercive approaches to cultural norms.
I never seen a hurricane with a dick or a minge, so…
And gender has nothing to do with genitals...
minge lol that’s a new one for me
Peak cokehead behavior
Aren't the names decided like decades ago?
The list repeats until a name is “retired,” as this one probably will be
Only for people who are decades old. For some babies, it was mere months.
It's always a little disturbing when clearly the headline must be from The Onion...but then it's not.
Beryl is a mineral. There are definitely women with the name, and there are likely some men, too (though A Boy Named Beryl doesn't have the same ring to it).
