    Sure.

    You're just asking why people want you to use pronouns that you say are never used when talking to people.

    It's a brilliant argument you have.

    Except that you've referred to me as "guy" about 4 or 5 times, but what do I know.

    Yet you keep avoiding answering the question. Except my argument has been about talking with someone in person. When it comes to someone I know or even a complete stranger who I’m taking to in person there is no NEED to call the person him, her, he, she etc. Which has been my entire argument. In fact it would be very weird to refer to the person to whom you are speaking to as he, she, him or her. You know this so stop with the nonsense.

    You couldn't even maintain the premise of your ridiculous question when talking to ME, guy.

    That's how bad you are at this.

    You ARE a guy right? I never said I have never used pronouns. My argument has been it’s not NEEDED to call someone by a pronoun who you are speaking to in person. You seem to think it’s mandatory. Therein lies the difference.

    Sure.

    That's why every "lgbtq" on social media lists their pronouns.

    It's because we never use them.

    Tell me more.

    It’s not required to use any pronoun when talking directly to someone. You DO know that, right???

    Honey, where you been? Poly and kink have been slowly and steadily normalizing and mainstreaming for decades now. From Marston and Wonder Woman, to Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty series, to just a while ago featuring a triad on House Hunters. You are behind the times.

    Yet you managed to potentially misgender me at least 3 times during our discussion.

    Just take the "L" and save a little dignity.

    The difference of course being that I can’t see you. And again, the point I have been making is no one is forced to use pronouns when talking with someone in person.

    lfmao!

    Now you're arguing you'd need to see what I look like to decide my gender.

    I told you you should have just taken the "L".

    You're in deep now.

    The term "honey" is not insulting in and of itself. You taking that way is your issue not mine. And I find the whole thing ironic given the topic, and your apparent distain at the normalization of poly and transgenderism.

    You seem confused. It’s not a matter of it being my decision. But you must admit one can’t always know if a person on an anonymous site is male or female. I can see why you’re fixating on this as you want to distract from the fact that you have continued to avoid answering my original question.

    It's the normalization of immortality.

    Sure, that's why you'd need to see me first. I see you don't know when to quit.

    Your original question is stupid, as I've demonstrated.

    Now you're just boring me.

    You really are confused. The issue is about referring to someone’s gender in person. But again I get why you want to distract from that.

    Well I will agree with you that living forever might have it's drawbacks.

    Spelling errors aside, just because you find it immoral, doesn't mean you get to impose that upon the rest of us. And I will agree that there are those within the transgender movement who are going too far, but they are as much a minority as WBC is to Christians.

    Again the irony seems to be lost on you. Calling my lifestyles immoral is insulting and you still do it on purpose. Do into others....and thus it was done to you.

    Westboro Baptist church is like 6 people.

    I don't use the wotd immoral because it's insulting, i use it because it's accurate.

    I don't care what anyone does in private, it's none of my business. But attempts to normalize it and destroy out society makes ir my business thus giving me the right to say something about it. Social conservatives have been silent for too long.

    To say any transgender movement is going to “destroy” our society is beyond asinine.

    Or alternatively, if you misgender someone, that person corrects you, you fix your mistake, and life continues.

    Unless it's not a mistake.

    Calling a man with boobs and a dress him is not a mistake and the accurate pronoun is not determined by the desire to be a woman.
