Why are pronouns so important?

someone called me by the wrong pronoun time to vent about how its the end of the world smh

I think we're trying to discuss how people are often purposely misgendered and how people refuse to let them be who they want to be.

she = he = they

it's all good and equal
 
what's the deal with people going out of their way to disrespect other people like chill out

it doesn't matter what your personal opinion is. if you don't use the right pronouns you're being super rude and disrespectful.
 
Nobody seems to understand just how much that can hurt someone though

And I dont mean just hurting their feelings I mean actually causing harm

i mean if someone is so profoundly impacted by it, their perspective on life is obviously horribly skewed. idk wats up with this new age internet/college campus atmosphere where everyones walking around wrapped up in cotton offended by every little thing and afraid of offending every other thing. only a matter of time before this cancerous attitude spreads to the real world

lol logic needs to come into play
like if I seen you in real life and you look girly I might say 'oh she's pretty cute'
and then you get upset because I gave you the wrong pronouns seems pretty dumb
cause how am I suppose to know you prefer they/them

like they/them is something totally new and not everyone knows about it
not everyone has a tumblr or even stay online to even talk to people
majority of people in my class don't even know wtf it even means

Its not a matter perspective oh my god!! How would you like it if someone purposefully called you something you're not even after you specifically asked them not to?

Some people go through a ton of stuff that is hard to cope with. Have you heard of the high death rate for trans people? Yeah. They're already in a rough situation to begin with (Gender identity is a serious thing) and misgendering them will just make it worse for them.

Its not a matter of perspective oh my god

How would you like it if everyone repeatedly called you something you specifically asked them not to call you
 
I'm pretty sure they're not like "if someone states they want a prefer pronoun" they'll use the opposite, like no that's rude.
But they're also saying that a word is a word, you put meaning and value into it, like she can be just a normal as he.
 
there are more pronouns than he, she and they (obviously aside from us, it and all those, you all probably get that i mean other non gendered pronouns to use about one person like he, she and singular they)

like so. many. xe, se, fae to name a few.... ik that a lot of people think more pronouns are unnecessary and that people who use other pronouns are "special snowflakes", but i don't really see any point in being like that. don't the people who do that have other things to worry about than the pronouns of trans kids smh

also i feel like nothing i've written has made any sense so i'll leave now

ok kiddo heres how it works in the real world

some ppl get on with u. some ppl dont get on with u. they will call u names, ***** about u etc... w/e who cares. some ppl dont mispronoun/gender/otherkin u out of malice, they are just too busy with things in their own life to give more than two ****s about ur sensibilities.
