Comment on Demanding a pronoun is like demanding a burkas.

  Nope. Literally opposites.

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

  YOU ARE THE OPPRESSOR, NOT THE OPPRESSED.

    Your self-centeredness is absurd. We have better things to do than oppress you. Trust me in this.

    We speak in whatever way seems best. And that is a personal matter. Respect that or not.

      I’m self centered because I consider other people’s feelings before addressing them?

      I’m sorry that I didn’t consider how annoying it must be for you to respect other humans in your vicinity.

      I’m an effort to be more like you, I will disregard your username and call you Fucko. In the future, I’ll expect you to respond to the name Fucko, as not to oppress my freedom of speech. Sound good, Fucko?

  “respect who I am or I’ll be upset”

  “This is who you need to be or I’ll be upset”

  Nope, not seeing it.

    Both are making a demand, that you conduct yourself in a certain way.

      So would you say the same thing about an usher at a movie theater telling you to shut up or get kicked out? How about a boss telling their employee to take out the trash? A parent telling their kid not to hit their sibling? That’s all the same, right, because they’re all making a demand that someone conducts themself in a certain way?

        Oh just make the statement that you want to make already. Dancing around it allusively is just weak.

  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?

      “Fat Fucko” it is.

    Knock yourself out.

    But I find that convenience is the primary dictator of speech. Anything else gets awkward and exhausting.

      Conservatives are the softest people I’ve ever met. Oppressed by having to consider anyone else’s feelings. God forgive you have to think for a split second before speaking to someone. I guess that last part is what makes it so painful.

  Not really, no.
