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.

Gramatically speaking, in a first person conversation, nobody refers to the other participant as anything but “you”. So this issue is manufactured out of whole cloth by people with chips on their shoulders to try and force their demented self images upon people who couldn’t care less.

Since when did it become anyone’s right to demand what other people think of them?

My pronouns are “Wise and always right” and “The most wise and always right”.

Suspect this is actually pretty far down the crisis list for Formerly Great Britain.

These are the sources I trust for a poll on perversion acceptance.

When you meet someone new, always ask, "Are you transgender?"

That will make an impression.

I will never ask.

If people can't tell what you are by looking at you, then it's your own fault if they get your pronouns wrong.

On LinkedIn a growing number of people are adding their ‘preferred pronouns’ to their profile. It’s a great way for them to alert sane people to their mental illness and thus remove them from consideration for jobs with companies run by intelligent Americans.

I remove my connection with every single person who does this so I am not considered an idiot by association with these woke fools.
