    Never underestimate the will of bigots to obsess over other people’s genitalia.

    Edit: I said the above to be facetious and poke fun at these wall-eyed transphobic lunatics. I realise that trans / NB issues encompass SO much more than that, and I was being deliberately reductive in order to make a point. I hope that comes through ❤️

      Clear as a bell. Anyone shitting on you is as tone-deaf as JK.

        You don’t have to learn them all, just use the ones the person asks you to. This is like saying “there’s like 100,000 names and I’m supposed to know them all? You’re just Jack or Jane to me.”

          “Jessica? There’s no Jessica in the Bible dammit. You’re either Adam or Eve and I’m gonna say you look like an Eve.”

          Also, almost no one uses any form of neopronouns. They just use the classic three of she/he/they. Or a combination of them.

        “there are over 100 fucking names now and I’m too stupid to learn anything other than you”. No one is asking you to be psychic but instead to give their pronouns the same respect that they give your name. If you don’t know them it’s whatever but if you do and don’t use them on purpose you’re being intentionally disrespectful. Like if I know your name is Bob and call you Barbra on purpose that’s disrespectful.
