Demanding a pronoun is like demanding a burka.

It's really easy, say your name is Tom, and I start calling you Stacy all the time, you're going to get bothered by it eventually at best
Or downright fuming at worst. It literally takes you nothing to use the right nouns/pronouns.

Could you elaborate, please? to discard any misinterpretation.

But if it's a requested change, how put out are you by it? It's still the same human that you respect and appreciate. And if you respect and appreciate them, you'd adhere to their request. That's what loyalty is

Not put out at all. Even if I don't respect and appreciate them. I will use the name they want. Loyalty has nothing to do with this.

Demanding that a person speak a certain way is like demanding that a person dress a certain way.

[email protected]

Are you implying that a pronoun is an item of clothing?

[email protected]

Speak this word or I'll be upset

Wear this thing or I'll be upset

You gotta admid it's a pretty good parallel

To use your own stupid argument, we already do demand that you dress to at least a certain minimum when around others. Demanding a certain minimum of respect isn't much different. It's called "being civil".

No, I'm asking you what you think a pronoun is.

You can tell by the fact that it's what I said.

Tiefling IRL

People never seem to have problems with changing pronouns when it's for someone's pet

"Cute dog what's his name"

"Oh she's Luna"

"I love her!"

NONE

So, if someone "demands" to be referred to using a specific type of pronouns, it is like forcing others to wear a Burka?

Am I getting it right?

A pronoun is a word. I say that with 94% confidence.

[email protected]

Not really, no.

[email protected]

That's a large assumption, and a presumptuous demand.

Do no assume. Do not demand. Mind your manners.

[email protected]

It's not, and it's not. Correct, false, Correct, Correct.

[email protected]

Is it civil if I demand that you wear a burka?

[email protected]

To address the first one. You assume that everybody uses language the same way that you do. That conforming to your demands in this is as preferable for them as it is for you.

That's a pretty gigantic assumption.

Nope. Literally opposites.

You are imposing YOUR will on another when you purposely use the wrong pronoun.

YOU ARE THE OPPRESSOR, NOT THE OPPRESSED.

So if I just refer to you by the wrong pronouns all the time you won't get upset? Or if I change your name out for fatty, or fat fuck?
