Wicked’ Star Cynthia Erivo: It’s ‘Not Easy’ When People Don’t Use ‘They/Them’ Pronouns
The Daily Wire ^ | 03/31/2025 | Amanda Harding

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.”

Well, it’s not easy to figure out and then attempt to use your pronouns in a conversation, so there’s that.

my personal pronouns usually get immediate understanding from others...”Don’t care” and “Can’t MAKE me” are very indicative of my mental and emotional make-up and spoken in a particularly low, menacing growl is effective at steering even the most vociferous liberal activists into going a different direction. a loud maniacal laugh following the encounter always make them pick up the pace a bit. never looked forward to these encounters but as the saying goes, never let a liberal encounter go to waste. or something like that.

Again, since when does someone have the authority to dictate what everyone around him must think of him? It’s the ultimate fascism.

Pronouns are for others to use to describe someone they potentially do not know. It is not for someone to tell you what pronouns you should use. I’ll use the pronouns I deem fitting for the situation, and only I will determine what they will be.

She doesn’t realize that it’s her type of activism that causes their perceived “homophobia” - imagine feeling like life is hard because folks won’t cater to your insane demands...

Maybe I'm old fashioned but "they" and "them" means two or more over there.

True.

In the Bible, demons refer to themselves as they/them/we/us

Mark 5:1-5:13 Mark 16:9 Luke
11:24-26 Luke 8:2
Matthew 8:31

I declined representing someone who wanted me to refer to them as they them. I just can’t fall for that craziness.

Really, it’s not easy, well I find it incredibly easy not to feed someone’s mental illness, I will never use some asinine pronoun. You are what God made you, not anything else.

In the past few years, I’ve received three unsolicited offers of service via messages though LinkedIn where the sender dictated their pronouns at the end. In all three cases, I told them “Thank you, but I don’t do business with people who presumptuously tell me what pronouns I am to use.” The first sender’s head exploded and he called me all sorts of names. The other two groveled like little children, agreed with me, and said that’s their company email policy. Either way, it’s fun to do and, like with the first psycho, you need only gently scratch the surface to make them reveal their true selves.

“IT” is the most appropriate pronoun for these mentally ill people.

It is very difficult to listen to someone who wears a “snot deflector”, no matter how expensive it might be. Stupid is as stupid does. “They/them”, how about “it/that”. makes more sense, IMHO.

Yeah 👍👍👍

Only the Lord Himself can rebuke
the Old Serpent 🐍 called
the Devil and Satan (Jude 9)

Jude 9
King James Version

9 Yet Michael the Archangel, when contending with the Devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
