Normal non-fascist-reactionary people have the ability to distinguish between ridiculous bad faith pearl clutching (what you are doing now) and earnest expressions of identity.

My response is always to use whatever pronouns the person I'm talking to says are right. If it's all alt-right troll, oh well. Maybe they'll have half a moment of self reflection and realize how ridiculous it would be for nonbinary folk to lie about their pronouns all the time, day in and day out. Maybe they'll realize that it would be exhausting having to lie just for the sake of... attention? Which wouldn't make sense in the first place, because unfortunately the majority of attention that you get from being nonbinary in public is explicitly hatred.

I know that hoping for conservatives to actually reflect on how they make people feel is a pipe dream, but if a man can't dream, what can he do?

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
