As some say "freedom to swing your arms around ends where someone else's face begins"
Although that's maybe not such a good phrase after all, as swinging your arms around to intimidate is also not acceptable.
Yes, she is free to be a giant asshole with a persecution complex. And we are free to call her one.
What a worthless comment. "Your freedom of speech is protected so long as it hasn't been outlawed".
Who knew.
This is why people say that Europe doesn't have freedom of speech, because unlike the US there is nothing stopping legislature from simply banning any speech.
I get bullied all the time online for not wanting to use all these stupid pronouns. Why can they do it but its not OK for me?
Seriously living in the worst timeline.
I don't care what you do with whom, that is your business, so do me a favour, and keep your shit to yourself
You get called out for shitty behavior that can negatively impact people, and are upset that carries consequences. That's not bullying fwiw
There is a difference between shitty behavior and not conforming to idiocy are two different things.
Go eat a tide pod since ya like following trends that are moronic
These days you need to have a scollarship in genders.
Trans people have always existed and weren't even on people's radar until we became the focus of a "culture war". This is something I denied and battled internally for 15+ years before I decided to actually pursue it; I am markedly less passable as a result, but that's what the "rational" transphobes want right? Wait until you're a fully developed adult before making that choice? I did. My voice might be on the deep end of things, but I get gendered correctly in public by total strangers. So while I appreciate my life being called a trend, I can assure you it's not.
Now, while I worry about my personal safety by way of being hate crimed in public due to some shitty rhetoric; you can keep posting about getting "bullied" online. Hope this clears things up <3
Pretty sure our fucked up environment is the cause of most trans people actually and have not always existed. There are so many plastic contaminants that mimic estrogen ( and other things we don't know), look up the effects of Atrazine (common insecticide), that shit made fish and frogs grow ovum in the testicles (no I don't subscribe to the frogs are gay fuckhead)
Regardless, dress how ya want, do what you want. But plz don't freak out on people who are not closely tied to the LGBT community about your gender when we don't know/don't care.
I'm sorry you have deal with uneducated bigots, I know the feeling, although my life was never threatened as an obese child/young adult, regardless the mental outcome is the same.
They actually have, be it the Inuit people, Native Americans, Greeks, Scandinavians, Romans, Indians, Japanese, Pacific Islanders, and likely many more. Phytoestrogens from soy and BPA plastics are not metabolized in a way that carries any feminizing effects, though can aggravate hormonal cancers. If you haven't watched Oki's series on the atrazine studies they're fantastic. He interviews the scientist behind a lot of the research and talks on how Alex Jone's undermined the research's public image.
That being said, while I appreciate the sentiment of "dress how ya want" and I truly believe you're genuine in saying that. Plenty of those who say that do not mean it though, and will be the first to throw stones. Which is why I ask you have just a little compassion on the matter. I know some people can be a lot. But most are just trying to get by, just like you and I.
You think pronouns are stupid? How do you feel about verbs, and adjectives?
Voilà!
In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me nothing, now please go away
Mate this was cringe to 14 year olds in 2009
Yeah, freedom of speech is not freedom from criticism for what you choose to say. The government can't lock you up solely for saying things it doesn't like but other people also have freedom of speech and they are absolutely free to call you a shitcunt for being a shitcunt.
keep your shit to yourself
Like... my name?
Or the bare-minimum stand-in for my name?

It really doesn't get any worse than people downvoting our posts or saying they don't agree with us when we post things on the Internet for other people to read. So much bullying! I say we should go back to the good old times when people who felt insulted, whether the insult was real or imagined, would challenge you for a duel at sunset in front of the saloon.
Just use they/them. It's universally understood and was in use long before you ever knew about LGBTQ at all. It's really not hard. Whatever you think about gender or sex, this is a neutral acknowledgment that is a person. We can all at least agree on that.
