Actress Cynthia Erivo, who stars in the musical drama “Wicked” opposite Ariana Grande, just said in a speech at the GLAAD Media Awards that it’s “hard” not being referred to by preferred pronouns.

The 38-year-old British star made the remarks during the event at the Beverly Hilton last week, where she was awarded the Stephen F. Kolzak award, which is given to an “openly queer member of the entertainment or media community for their work toward eliminating homophobia.”

Blah, blah blah blah and, of course, blah.

We/us don't care. No one cares.

[ClearCase_guy]

When I look at her, nothing is hard.

The British actress said “they/them” is used to describe a person… who is clinically insane.

We already have MANY words in English to describe such people thank you.

"He or She"

..... I'm not changing the truth cuz certain people are mentally ill in their beliefs!

[albie]

And the winner of the Cory Booker look alike contest goes to…

[Skwor]

It’s even harder and it is morally wrong to be forced to use improper pronouns requiring others to validate your delusion. No one should have the power to force speech codes on another person you childish crybully.

GROW UP.

They managed to live and succeed in life uneventfully before this pronouns bullshit arrived but now it's cataclysmic if the world doesn't play your stupid word games.

"It's hard" ...? Seriously? Go live in Mogadishu and tell me how hard it is that people don't use your preferred pronouns ... which by definition are done outside of your presence.

Another elite mental case. Plain, pure and simple as that.

“”The British actress said “they/them” is used to describe a person… who is clinically insane.

Yes, but “they/them” more accurately describes the infestation by the ‘legion’ of demons.

When do you ever address a person as a 3rd person pronoun?

I don’t go up to a friend, start speaking to them and say something like “How is He doing today” “How is Them today?”. It’s asinine.

3rd person pronouns are how you refer to a person to someone else. I.e. This is speech policing. You are not allowed to refer to me as He/She/It even when I am not near you.

The transgender apologist just NEVER stop

Try waking up the American population and Satan will find someone to attack you and try to stop you

It's EXACTLY what President Trump campaigned on (and other things)

(transgender people)

NO SUCH THING AS "TRANSGENDER" EXISTS
ON THE FACE OF THE ENTIRE EARTH 🌍🌏🌎

And in America DEMOCRATS are adding to AND pushing this SATANIC confusion (upon the world 🌏 🌍 through USAID and the State Department while under DEMOCRAT Joe Biden)

Hopefully lurkers will text 📱 📱 📱
and email 📨 📨 📨 these to others,
post elsewhere too, and wake people up

[Lizavetta]

For what it’s worth, the comments section is NOT on her side.

[SaveFerris]

GOOD!

thanks for the update

[metmom]

Too bad. She needs a real life if that’s all she can bother whining about that makes her life *hard*.

[HYPOCRACY]

That’s pretty cool. I will start doing that to they today. It would really get annoying. Don’t he think so?

Let us not forget,
Preferred pronouns, NOT mandatory!

[Strict9]

she’s English mate. Give her some fish and chips.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

The entire intent behind this is for us to acknowledge them as a separate and protected class.

[Tell It Right]

Probably the best comment that will be made today! Way ta go, sir/he/him/XY/dude!
