Now I'll share me opinion. I am neutral on it. It's good that it's normalizing sharing pronouns, but it also pressures trans people to either be misgendered or come out. It is also not available in all countries, so where people would have had their pronouns in their bio before, now people in the countries without it can't see their pronouns.

[BUNroaster]

I don't understand it really so my opinion doesn't matter. It's part of sociology and I don't believe sociology is legitimate enough. Just adds to the list of options of identities.

It's pretty silly. They're catering to an extreme minority. Practically no one is transgender.

[Zelda_5]

Everybody has pronouns. Not only trans people.

[Opinion Owner]

That logic is real questionable. Virtually everyone doesn't need to clarify their pronouns, so doing so isn't necessary for virtually everyone, thus, they're catering to an extreme minority.

[Zelda_5]

Half the people I follow from school use they pronouns. They would need to clarify and are not transgender.

[Opinion Owner]

I highly doubt that, and if so, it's definitely due to teachers molding them that way. Can you give me some examples of these differing pronouns, along with the sex of the individuals?

[Zelda_5]

Most are afab, she/they, they/she, they/them and ones she/him.

[Opinion Owner]

Oh she/they AND they/she (because there's a difference, right?)

And she/him, not "she/her/he/him." So this person is feminine ONLY when you'd normally use "she/he" but once you would instead regard them as "her/him" then this person becomes masculine.

Do you not see anything questionable about that?

And this certainly doesn't support the notion that these ideas are being pushed onto you.

[Opinion Owner]

That last sentence was supposed to say "aren't" not "are"

[MudRucker]

Based on science a person is either a he or a she.


Those who say otherwise are science deniers.

[Zelda_5]

Gender is not science, it's anthropology. You should talk to an anthropologist about your "science".

[Kaneki05]

Good it's a right people should have.

[NoManTwo]

There are 2 sexes/ genders.

You are either a he or she.

Look between your legs to figure out what you are.

[Kaneki05]

gender and sex are not the same thing. Sex refers to what you have down there, gender refers to whats in your brain. If you don't understand that, then your not very good at psychology and biology. Then just a little fact people can be born with both female and male parts but to be expected form a person who don;t understand psychology and biology

[UnknownUser01]

@Kaneki05 if gender and sex aren't the same, why do transgenders transition? If you have a penis and "feel" like a girl ( in your brain ) then you wouldn't need to take hormones and have surgery because you're in the wrong body... and if there's a wrong body, what is the right body?

[Kaneki05]

@UnknownUser01 cause you want your body to match how your brain feels?

[UnknownUser01]

@Kaneki05 so gender and sex are the same. Cool

[Kaneki05]

Umm no wtf? You clearly don't understand lol

[Kaneki05]

If gender and sex are the same thing people wouldn't need to change there body duh.

[UnknownUser01]

@Kaneki05 nooo if it was different, you would NOT need to change your body. The fact that you're changing your body shows that sex aligns with your gender. This is why 99.9% of humans are "cis gender" . The exception isn't the rule.

[Kaneki05]

@UnknownUser01 dude your sex is what your gentically born with not what you want to become later after chidhood of feeling of been different in your own brain which is gender.

[UnknownUser01]

@Kaneki05 2 questions. 1) why are 99% of all males =men and 99% of all females= women?
2) what makes a person gay , their gender or sex?

You can respond on my comment so we don't know this guy's notifications up

[Kaneki05]

@UnknownUser01 sighs just go learn biology and psychology for that one does well at explaining it.

[UnknownUser01]

@Kaneki05 so you dont know lol. Gotcha !!

[Kaneki05]

@UnknownUser01 that's not what i said. But think what you want. It's not hard to look up shit yourself but shrugs idc.

[NoManTwo]

If anatomy and gender are two different things, there is no need to cut you penis or breasts off if you "feel you are the opposite gender".

[Kaneki05]

Obviously there is. Because you want your anatomy to appear the way your gender is therefor you must change your anatomy because it's different to your gender.

[Kaneki05]

If i am a girl by gender, my sex don't repsent me cause at the moment due to it be male so i need to change it. Not a hard concept jeez

[UnknownUser01]

@Kaneki05 dude you're proving our point lol

[Kaneki05]

@UnknownUser01 If ya think that then you cannot read. I am saying gender and sex are different due to one is what you get given at birth due to genetics. The other is what you feel later in your head. What your saying is people born male are just male. There gender and sex are not different therefore if born male there just male.
And if you won't making that point then you should know sex and gender are not the same thing smh

[Kaneki05]

Tbh i am just gonna link this since you cannot be bothered to know there is a clear difference between the two https://cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/48642.html

[Gwenhwyfar]

I like the idea

[Gwenhwyfar]

Your second sentence of your update raises a really good point

[UnknownUser01]

Its dumb and attention seeking.

[joeldalton]

There are 2 genders and 99 mental disorders.

[msc545]

Ridiculous.

[7771999]

It's dumb

[Zelda_5]

Why do you think that?

[7771999]

We see if they're a male or female

[Zelda_5]

But what if you see wrong? Even cis people can look different than their gender.

[7771999]

Well. If you're insanely ugly as a girl, or extremely feminine and with long hair, you might mix it for a second.

But it is quite obvious that this is silly stuff catered towards mentally ill people with imaginary social causes.

[7771999]

It's just silly
