Congrats? If somebody says to use a pronoun use it. Its not hard and requires no nuance. I too have issues and am probably on the spectrum, but this isnt something that is complicated, or nuanced, or requires reading anything subtle. If they give you a pronoun, use it. As long as mistakes are genuine and not malicious nobody is going to bite your head off.

Theres times when being autistic and having trouble with social interactions is a legitimate issue, but in this case it sounds like you're using it as an excuse.


I wont use it unless I understand why I am using it.
What kind of shitty society are we advocating for where people can demand we address them however they choose?
As far as I am concerned the gender pronouns are she, her, he, him etc.
If you want to make up some bullshit like Xer you wont have to worry about me addressing you wrong because I will not address you at all.

then shouldn't you of all people understand the importance in helping people have less awkward interactions?


Not if you intentionally make it awkward.

I went from patriotic neocon in high school to libertarian-lite in college. After minoring in finance and seeing the destruction of the great recession, I pretty much abandoned the libertarian ideology. I stuck with the GOP until 2016 and abandoned them once Trump became the nominee. I would describe myself as a right-leaning technocrat and institutionalist. Based on that, I'd say that the Democrats are more in line with my beliefs than Republicans.

You do know why youre using it. Same reason why you use "she" for anybody else.

Nobody is asking to be called something ridiculous. Theyre asking to be called a pronoun. Nobody is saying their pronouns are "my glorious Czar of Russia".

If you think theyre intentionally making it awkward then you need to do some introspection because your attributing malice where it isn't. Xe is gender neutral. So it can apply to everybody.

Since youre going out of your way to straw man the hell out of this, it seems like you're just using whatever excuse you can to be mean. It doesnt seem like you're approaching this in good faith and value making others uncomfortable over learning two or three new words.

Not necessarily. I think technology can improve lives more than any sort of handout, government program, etc.

It feels like you're making references to shit you've seen online, not in person. In person people just go "hey yeah I prefer to go by they/them", you go "oh shit my bad no problem" and thats the end of the discussion.

I went from being a giant lolbertarian(in some ways i have still remained one)

to a anti neoliberal ...dont think America can be saved tho...maybe they will fix their problems maybe they wont

I only care about liberation of Europe....


What does this mean?

Most(or all) people railing against neo-liberalism hate the bad outcomes... without holding positions that would lead to better outcomes.
