I never thought The Adams Family was that far ahead of it's time.

... the arguments in favor of transgender pronouns — defined here as the incorrect application of “he” and “she” as well as absurd neologisms like “ze” and “zir” — are, in the end, shortsighted. Though compelling on their own limited terms, they fail to take into account that further capitulation where language is concerned can only give aid and comfort to a movement whose success is inevitably attended by the sexualization of children, the sanctioning of brutality, and the dramatic curtailment of freedom of speech and thought.
About the scale of their ambitions, transgender activists have not been shy. “Nuance around gender identity and expression will,” the journalist Liam Lowery wrote in Newsweek four years ago, “improve the quality of life for all people.” “If gender identity is no longer a fixed commodity,” Laurie Penny averred in New Statesman America in 2014, “that affects everybody.” To the surprise of exactly no one who has followed the progress of transgender ideology in this country and elsewhere, the concept of “everybody” is increasingly understood on the left to include even young children. Abetted by the American Academy of Pediatrics’ declaration that most children “have a stable sense of their gender identity” by their fourth birthday, transgender activists in the United States have set about removing any age-based obstacles to that identity’s expression — an effort that peaked with California’s 2018 law providing transgender treatments to minors as young as twelve without requiring parental consent.
Abroad, developments are even worse, ranging in severity from the despicable to the truly nightmarish. As Wesley J. Smith recently reported for NRO, a Canadian 14-year-old was allowed, earlier this year, to proceed with “gender-altering” hormone treatments despite her father’s strenuous objections. In Australia, meanwhile, multiple news reports declare that, [in] 2016, a [4yo] the process of “transitioning.”

That means I’m a dude who likes women.
I speak English, and know the pronouns. They haven’t changed.
This is about third-person pronouns, such as “he,” “she,” and “it.” They are used when the person referred to is being spoken about. They are not used in speaking to the person in question.
You don’t get to change the grammar book. You have a right to whatever name you want, but not to whatever babbling you call a pronoun.
When you make it a crime to use the “wrong” pronouns, you guarantee that I will not conform.
How about just “you”?
How about “Goezintas” and “Goezoutas”?

There was a male hispanic inmate with boobs when I worked at Auburn Prison (Auburn NY) in the early 1980’s. We called him “he/she/it”. Covered all the bases. And of course, back then we could get away with it. Wouldn’t be able to do that today. Not with Andy Pandy Cuomo as Governor.
I tutor kids 1:1. One of my third graders asked me, last week - ‘A boy in my class doesn’t have a mom; he has two dads.’ It was obvious she was confused. I said, “Everybody has a mother, Gxx. That’s how new humans are made. Timmy’s Dad’s friend lives there. He might think he’s his mom, but he is not, is he?” “No” - she knew. The kids know. It doesn’t make sense. And they hate pretending.
Speaking the truth is very freeing to all concerned.
Simple just refer to them as “Taint” taint male, taint female.
not just light years but galaxies ahead of its time in social commentary!
European liberal heads must be exploding - how do they handle all the nouns that MUST have a fixed “gender” (the PROPER usage of this term)?
Heh. My husband just told an interesting little vignette yesterday.
He has a co-worker in some department who has likewise declared preferred pronouns.
But guess why? He’s a foreigner with unclear name implications, naturally.
This man (yes) can kill 2 birds with one stone. He can make sure people know on the telephone that he’s a man, AND get brownie points from the PC police for declaring himself.
They’ll find some reason to holler discrimination no matter what you call them. I wouldn’t even try to classify them gender-wise. To me they’d be “you”
I’ll stick with my best friend’s convention for them she set up decades ago (she has a knack for running into “special” people all the time, even when it wasn’t cool) - “he-she”.
Be rational, it may have been a 4 year old boy who accompanied his mother to the bathroom.
I didn’t let my sons use the men’s room until they were nearly 7 and pitching fits about being old enough to go alone.
When you are nefarious and violent Leftist Authoritarian who wants ALL the power and control over a people, and you cannot win arguments in reality, you MUST resort to fantasy and convince the people that it is a “new reality” in order to assume desired control.

Yeah, “they” want to switch sexes and be plural, too.
Wouldn’t that make gender dysphoria a form of multiple personality disorder?
It’s a little long, but how about “loathsome pervert?” Or maybe “sodomite scum.”
We should NEVER let the left dictate the lexicon.
Could be a real woman.
I've known a couple of real women who, in the absence of paper seat-covers, will put the lift-able seat ring up, and stand/squat on the (more stable) porcelain edge of the toilet bowl, so they don't have to put their butt directly on the seat. And then they don't put the seat ring back down.
Of course, we're talking about somewhat young women here -- after all there's a certain amount of gymnastic ability required to pull off that cunning stunt.
