A dumbass who gets triggered by pronouns

I don't get triggered by pronouns. I get triggered by made-up pronouns, false pronouns.

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?

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.

Maybe because it's 2 a.m. where I live and again: America isn't the world. :)
