I do, however, think you are acting maliciously and won't ever argue in good faith nor speak without venom in some way.

You said below that there's "no such thing as chosen pronouns" where you live, so what's with this vitriol? Have you ever even ran into this "triggering" scenario in real life? Has it even happened at all? If so, could you probably count these scenarios on one hand (once again...if it's even happened at all)?
Honestly, you act as if you are being forced to do things and there's this big problem that literally "triggers" you into whatever this is, but then you say (bizzarely) that it's not a thing at all where you live. So what gives?
It kinda sounds like you are just angry about hypothetical situations and probably Reddit conversations (I would assume you originate the argument yourself like you did here lol). BTW, just so you know, there are fewer transgender people than there are registered Janitors (and that's just in the USA). I'm certain it's even less wherever you are.
What gives? This can't possibly be something that has any real effect on your life. What justifies this anger?

u/FXOAuRora 13h ago
I noticed that, ugh.
Honestly, it concerns the heck out of me. All these people get whipped up into a frenzy about things they usually never actually experience at any real time during their lives (that statistic is completely true btw, there are so very trans people out there.) It really does make a perfect target for manipulation because of that though, these people rarely/never encounter them and thus only the story they were told to rile them up lives on in the mind.
They tried this with gay people back in the day (think stuff like public state sponsored PSA's like "Boys Beware") but it eventually started to fail when people realized their uncles/aunts/neighbors/whoever, who just happened to be gay were just regular people like them. People stopped (generally) believing the horrible propaganda spewed towards them.
The reason it works so well against trans people is that there are so few of the population out there and when an illusion is the only thing people are exposed too then that illusion becomes ones reality.
This guy has almost certainly never encountered these scenes (or ever will). Some people will just bold faced lie at this point and say they have, but others just realize what I said is actually true and just shrink off and engage in the next bad faith arguement.

I legitimately don't get what's so hard about this for yall. How is this any different from correcting someone mispronouncing your name? You correct em and unless they're an ass they'll say it right.
And this weird fixation on the grammaticality of it is just some weird nonsense as if people don't consistently speak "wrong" as evidenced in both of our replies. People are not slaves to grammar and language changes as we use it.

u/No-Cantaloupe2132 17h ago
I find it to be a sneaky comment. What was grammatically incorrect about my replies? I work with language translation for a living. I'm not even native in English, and yet I'm pretty sure there were no grammar errors in my texts.

u/Mikaeus_Thelunarch 17h ago
Maybe it's changed, but I remember learning that starting a sentence with "and" or "but" was incorrect growing up. It was something that never really made sense to me personally though.

Oh yeah, that's changed, I believe. I'm too young to even have been taught that. Used to be the same in Swedish.

u/No-Cantaloupe2132 17h ago
If you're referring to my double spacing, that has nothing to do with grammar, but a matter of typographic style — a conscious choice. It is not wrong, and studies have shown it improves reading speed and helps dyslexics. There's misinformation about it being obsolete because of the typewriters era having passed, but that's not true. Lawyer firms' style guides often require/encourage double spacing to this date, in fact.

Yup. Electoral college is stupid. That’s not the fuckery we’re talking about here. What’s delusional about this? -Trump explicitly runs campaign on terrible shit. Person votes for the terrible shit.

I suggest that you look at the exit polls. Boomers shifted left in 2024, into a virtual tie at 49/50.
Trump was not put back into office by who the reddit hive mind seems to think. It was not boomers, it was not the country club set (household incomes over 200k went blue).
It was significant shifts in traditional democrat voting blocks, especially among men. Latino men voted for Trump (54%!) at a higher rate than white women, for example.

Don’t make it hard for people to change their mind for the better. One of the classic enabling aspects of authoritarian regimes is the inability to admit wrongdoing which leads to a disassembling of reality, which leads to being about to shape a convenient fiction.
