Concerns We’re Heading For ‘Misgendering Crisis’ As 61% Of Brits Never Ask About Pronouns
UNILAD ^ | June 25, 2021 | Emily Brown

Pronouns are often attributed to a person at birth, when newborns can be labelled ‘he/him’ or ‘she/her’ depending on their biological sex. Despite a wealth of progress on the matter, many people still have a habit of assuming a person’s gender and pronouns.

To highlight these issues, Instagram partnered with Mermaids, one of the UK’s leading LGBTQ+ charities, to conduct a study of 2,000 UK adults and find out how many people are open and accepting to acknowledging a person’s pronouns.

Of the 2,000 participants, 61% said they never ask someone their pronouns when meeting for the first time, paving the way for misgendering in the future. In comparison, just 6% said they ask each new person they meet what their pronouns are.

I initially read UNILAD as UNLAID and thought, yeah, that’s about right.

Who cares?! It’s a complete and total non issue by white privileged leftists who use their systemic racism to play fantasy while minorities are oppressed, starving and homeless and can’t even afford medical care because hormone therapy is more profitable!

There are two sexes. Genders are for Spanish nouns. A percentage of the country is sliding rapidly into insanity. There is no cure for it.

I look forward to offending idiots.

I also look forward to asking what a jerk’s favored pronouns are, “because I surely cannot tell by looking at you.”

No one should have to ask, they should wear a sign. Or better idetify as the biological sex they were born with.

Tell her, “My pronouns are God and Lord. Please use them.”

I would never venture into the quagmire that is gender dysphoria. If someone objects to my referencing them by their God-given gender I would forever after refer to it as “that person”.

Asking them their gender is quite personal.

Be a bit more discrete and inquire as to what kind of underwear they wear instead.

If someone actually asks my preferred pronoun I’d tell them that to them, it’s “Your Majesty”.

Yep. Seeing this as well in the company. As a counter, I have a Master’s degree and will request to be called Master.

So the perverts have now appropriated the word "mermaid". I guess they want to turn all of the fans of the Littlest Mermaid into lesbians.

Too bad the latest version went woke and probably won't have many viewers to indoctrinate.

I was thinking about saying he/her/theirs just to confuse the heck out of them.

There are only three genders: Male, Female, and Severely F*cked-Up in the Head.

Not that I would ever accuse Emily of hyperbole on the issue, but exactly what sort of "crisis" are we talking about here? A mistake on "gendering" - dear God, it's a gerund now? - causes what sort of catastrophic harm that would justify the use of the word "crisis"? A little dent in the fantasy of a neurotic? A tiny prick - can I still use that word? - in the bubble of somebody else's illusion? Will the ceiling fall, the walls collapse, the union fail, the oceans boil, the sky darken and the world disintegrate into a hundred billion fragments the size of Hunter Biden's conscience?

I'm guessing not. What would happen is that nothing would happen beyond Emily hyperventilating, clutching her pearls, and crash-diving into the velvet embraces of the nearest fainting couch. And the world will abide.

Mermaid. Because nobody has figured how they reproduce.
