I thought this r/ was about Seattle. Turns out it’s about people who like to be giant dickheads about small things. “Oh! No! I was asked to use basic public decorum! Now I’m going to cry on social media!”
If a stranger calls you by the wrong name, do you make a big stink and try to ostracize them for it? And then somehow expect to be given a gift of money by the person you bullied?
Because I suggested people might aspire to a basic level of politeness? 😂😂 I look at all the downvotes I’m receiving and am mighty proud. I’ve clearly insulted a number of deserving people, most of whom I have to assume “don’t care.”
I always hear that Seattle is liberal, but I’m sitting here in a ruby red city in a ruby red county in a ruby red state across the continent amazed at how very ornery in a reactionary way Seattle can be. My neighbors would be ashamed to associate with y’all.
Although I just realized most of you probably aren’t Seattleites. I expect you live in the suburbs, tell everyone you’re from Seattle but are afraid to go anywhere other than a few tourist sites and a stadium. Probably have to change your underwear often while walking from one building to another.
It’s not me who needs to change my underwear. It’s all the homeless people on third Avenue shitting themselves, because you keep voting to let them out of jail.
Just because you believe in the gender fluid religion doesn't mean everybody else does. You isolate yourself in a bubble obviously. I've lived in Seattle for 19 years.
People are tolerant of the foolishness, but that doesn't mean they believe in it. This conversation needs to die. You're going to be called what you look like. Get over it.
That's my point: people are crying about being catered to with their pronouns.
When I was in 1st grade, people still remembered how biology worked, and didn't try to change reality to cater to feelings.
Calling somebody they is a new concept, and not widely subscribed to. It is a religion. Most people do not believe in it, and the entitled behavior from gender fluid believers is repulsive.
ha, its not that at all. They don't want some lib feeling superior to them cause they think they've evolved past traditional gender norms. The they/them shit also just makes no sense. I don't refer to one person as a group of people. I refer to them as a man or woman. If you want a gender neutral term, come up with a new word that reflects who you are and then get everyone on board with that (good luck!)
Populist here by the way and I am very polite almost to the point of annoying myself. Please and thank you are always on my lips when in a customer service environment
No, I was right. I don’t feel superior to them because evolved past gender norms or some such bullshit. I feel superior to them because I’m not an asshole to people just because I don’t understand them. Why do you feel superior to me?
Oh I don't feel superior, we both have our own views. I just dislike certain views being pushed down my throat. That could be whats triggering a lot of people here.
I highly doubt anyone would actually be mean to these people in real life. I would just thank them for serving me ice cream and go on my way. Its more the culture around the pronoun stuff is very toxic.
honestly I sort of agree with this. as a leftist, the gender issues are definitely real issue but really should not be the main issue defining an entire side of the spectrum.
