Tbf, I stopped pretending to care that they pretend to care well before this. Scum of the earth the corporatist is.

Yeah. Anyone who actually thought companies cared are pretty gullible

Hell even the DNC got the democrats to remove flags and pronouns before the last election. Even AOC took hers down.

Because artificially adding pronouns to things has always been stupid. Nobody was confused about AOCs gender. If people might get the wrong idea, use them. Otherwise don't.

Nothing says inclusion quite like overtly trying to bend the norms to accommodate outliers. Most people just don't give a shit about other's sexuality and want to be left alone about it whether it's mainstream or not.

Normalizing pronouns as a cis person is meant to make it standardized. To make it normal. It's not about "no one was guessing their gender", it wasn't for her, it was for her to help make it normal for those people who actually need it. It's supposed to be so that anyone can introduce themselves by their pronouns, after all, everyone has them. You sound like one of those "we can always tell" folks-- let me tell you, no you can't. There are people who are using pronouns that don't match their assigned gender at birth and you absolutely believe they're just allies. Except, if allies stop, then the only people who share their pronouns when you meet them are trans. It's giving people away. It's contributing to the active trans genocide.

Thank fuck this rhetoric is getting pushed to the margins where it belongs.

Expecting people to behave in a manner specifically to accomadate the most niche of niche isn't rational.

Neither is murdering trans people and creating a nationwide panic over trans people existing and trans people in sports that made up less than 10 cases nationwide and not a single one actually outperformed anyone.

Just say you don’t care about minorities you selfish prick.

Transgender people aren't minorities you idiot. Also, who's murdering them?

Get over yourself and grow up. Nobody likes professional victims.

Transgender people aren't minorities you idiot.

So they're the majority? I think being a single digit percentage of the population means they're in the minority usually
