  1. The difference between a conspiracy theory and proven fact is time, anywhere from two weeks to two years.

    If I am ever in a place where pronouns are required? Or any other of the nine circles of Hell? Everyone gets called Comrade, like the good little soviets they are.

    1. I’m laughing because the time range you cited is PRECISELY what I said to two friends yesterday!!!

  2. From my Twitter profile:

    pronouns: call me whatever you want, you’re a free person and I don’t control you

    1. Perfect. I will borrow that. If I ever come across a person entitled to as me to asking me to address them a certain way…… like really… .0000001 % of population gets like thousand % of media. Never met a person who demands pronouns.

      Next is I’ll call u what I want… as I’m also a free person. You do not control me.

  3. Whatever proper grammar dictates because a gender studies degree doesn’t give anyone the right to upend a language for “reasons”.

  4. I’ve mentioned before that I identify as being extremely wealthy, and caring and socially aware people should help me attain that goal!!! Well, now I’ve thought of an addendum. Make me wealthy enough so I can comfortably buy Youtube or Google, and I’ll ‘musk’ (as in completely gut) whichever one(s) I get…!!! Wouldn’t mind making Nokia improve their flip phones, either!

    1. I tried identifying as Bill Gates some time ago, but it was strange as I could not get any of my money.

  5. I work at a multi-billion dollar corporation, and I see this crap more and more every single day. The risk department, which adjoins my department, has about 10 people, and every single person has their personal pronouns in their signature. And then there’s the DEI crap in my face all the time, the globohomo rainbow flag garbage, and whatever flavor of the week social justice BS they feel compelled to promote. They would be in serious pain if I ever left the place, and I’m thinking of doing that in the not too distant future because I’ve frankly had enough. Good luck successfully running your business long term with your army of Marxist snowflakes.

  6. Pronouns aren’t strictly necessary. Just use names. It’s proper, but awkward.

    For example, when talking to ‘Bob’, any resistance can be met with, “H.R. doesn’t believe in pronouns. Pronouns are racist. H.R. won’t be using Bob’s pronouns because H.R. refuses to participate in Bob’s racist practices.”

    Now, any time Bob uses any pronoun, just shout “RACIST!”

    (Do note that H.R. didn’t want to have a conversation with a woke dumbass like Bob in the first place.)

    1. The “them/they”‘s are typically multi-personality non binary types, who can’t decide from one day to the next who is inside their skin. So really that would be a correct use of the language, wouldn’t it?

  7. He / She / Him / Her / IDGAS

    The last one is reserved for those who demand that I avoid using any of the first four to refer to them.

  8. Just curious ….
    Frankly, I am not sure that I could converse (except maybe 1 sentence) with people who want special language pronoun use, so might just say, “so nice to meet” and find someone else to talk to. Good luck to all second language speakers.

    How do all these all these pronouns work in French, where most nouns are masculine or feminine and are accompanied by matching grammatical agreements? I would think it might be a bit more complicated.

    1. Your point is Acceptable to me, L. If you identify your pink crayons as mon crayons you’re okay, but if someone else in the room identifies they/them as feminine you might hurt their feelings.
