Also pronouns are dumb because you cant force me to call you your given pronoun or what you appear. I will call you by your name and you cannot force me to consider you anything. And the amount of people to de-transition is insane. It's becoming the 'trend' to be transgender in a way.
Your second comment is correct but misguided. A boy cannot “decide” to be a girl because transgender feelings are deeply rooted. As for pronouns being dumb, you used twelve in your post. A pronoun is a type of word, and asking that people use one set instead of another shouldn’t be a problem. I will concede that neopronouns are often unnecessary and confusing, but beyond that this is a non-issue. You could call people by their name every time you mention them, but that’s kind of strange (imagine you asked your friend named Bill “How is Bill doing?”). As for… Read more

When he says pronouns are dumb, he means that the idea of being able to choose your own pronouns is ridiculous, and that if you are female, and can get pregnant, but say you are a man, he isn't using he/him pronouns. He doesn't mean the concept of pronouns is insane, but the idea that you can choose "your" pronouns, and the idea that you can have your own pronouns.
@TruthHurts1012yrs2Y
It's people like you that make this platform so interesting to read. You sure schooled that Dem!
I understand the point being made about choosing pronouns and the perceived absurdity of it. However, it's essential to consider the psychological well-being of transgender individuals. For them, using their preferred pronouns is a matter of dignity and respect. A study conducted by the University of Texas at Austin found that when transgender youth are referred to by their chosen names and pronouns, their risk of depression and suicide decreases significantly.
A specific example of this is the story of Leelah Alcorn, a transgender teen who committed suicide in 2014. Leelah struggled wit… Read more
@TruthHurts1012yrs2Y
"Tragic example!" Bull ***! Transgender people need a rude awakening! There are TWO and ONLY TWO GENDERS, that's the way it ALWAYS was and that's the way it ALWAYS WILL BE, END OF STORY. You can cry about it if you want, sure go sob to your mommy -- BUT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE TRUTH because FACTS DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS! Transgenderism is a mental health EPIDEMIC that is destroying our country, a dangerous FESTERING CANCER ROTTING THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF OUR REPUBLIC! THE BLACKEST BLOT IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY! And it MUST BE STOPPED! I will not FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP THE GOLDEN IMAGE OF WOKE IDEOLOGY and I sure as H-ll will not CRUCIFY MY CHILDREN ON A CROSS OF GOVERNMENT DEPENDENCY! The buck STOPS HERE and it STOPS NOW, DEAL WITH IT.
@9CJ6CB62yrs2Y
All their LIVES they’ve been dealing with “rude awakenings”, and people like you cause these suicide rates. People that think that basic biology is greater than the actual advanced biology shouldn’t be a part of this argument. Actually study the scientific substance behind this, don’t blast utter garbage on the internet so you can feel better about yourself.
Gender is different than sex, get that through your mind, because they wouldn’t be separate words if they didn’t have different meanings. Gender is neurological, while sex is physical. That’… Read more
@AstuteObserverGreen2yrs2Y
I understand your strong stance on the topic of gender, but let's examine the facts from a biological and anthropological perspective. While it's true that most individuals are born with either XX or XY chromosomes, there are instances of intersex individuals who possess chromosomal variations, such as XXY or XYY. This challenges the strict binary classification of gender.
Additionally, numerous cultures throughout history have recognized more than two genders. For example, the hijra of India and Pakistan, the Two-Spirit people among some Indigenous cultures in North America, and the… Read more
@9DD8SFJIndependent2yrs2Y
Nobody said there were more than two genders, transgender people are either male or female, I don't know why you're yelling over something nobody ever said.
@3TCTF37Republican2yrs2Y
A study conducted by the University of Texas at Austin found that when transgender youth are referred to by their chosen names and pronouns, their risk of depression and suicide decreases significantly.
Total bullshyte, you can make a study say what you want it to, just like a poll! The difference between transitioners and those that don't transition is irrelevant, they commit suicide on an almost equal scale! The numbers PROVE it.
However, it's essential to consider the psychological well-being of transgender individuals.
That is the point, they are menta… Read more
@9TQP76T10mos10MO
You claim that transgender people need psychological help, and that they're 'mentally ill', but in the same breath call them pedophiles, 'tra***es' (a slur), and degenerates. Those are not the words of someone who is concerned about the mental health of the people around them, and they are not the words of someone who understands the topic they're speaking about or has researched the topic (outside of far-right leaning podcasts, YouTube videos, and angry Twitter posts). I encourage you to step outside of this bubble of hatred and vitriol that you've entrenched yourself in and actually learn the facts about transgender people and their struggles, as well as develop empathy along the way. I truly do hope you're given the chance to learn and grow.
@OpulentBagelsReligious Conservatism11mos11MO
God created us male and female, and that's a fundamental truth that shouldn't be twisted. People struggling with their identity need compassion and genuine support, not encouragement to go down a path that leads to further confusion and pain. We should be helping people find their true selves as they were created, not promoting ideas that contradict the natural order.
@rockhound_rayGreen2yrs2Y
I understand your skepticism about the study, but it's important to recognize that scientific research goes through rigorous processes to maintain objectivity and credibility. As for the suicide rates, it's true that transgender individuals face higher rates of suicide attempts, but research has shown that social support and acceptance can have a significant impact on reducing these rates.
I have a close friend who is transgender, and when they were able to live authentically and were supported by their friends and family, their mental health improved significantly. Their experience… Read more
It's important to approach this topic with an open mind and consider the evidence from a wider variety of sources. While you mentioned that the study from the University of Texas at Austin could be manipulated, there are numerous other studies and scientific consensus supporting the notion that affirming one's gender identity is beneficial to their mental health. A study published in JAMA Surgery in 2021 found that gender-affirming surgeries are associated with significant improvements in psychological functioning, including depression and anxiety symptoms.

@9LFGWG51yr1Y
I completely see where you are coming from but calling a human being they/them or ze/zer or whatever the rest are should not be legal nor normal. He/him and she/her is how it has always been and is how it should be continued. It is not normal and if you are a man with a penis you can not decide to be a she/her because that it literally, physically, and biologically not what you are.
@9NVXNC81yr1Y
Name a single good reason why I should care in the slightest what bathroom a random college student 3 states away uses.
@B566NJM2mos2MO
absolutely right, 4+4=8 even if you say it equals 5 and plus i get they feel more comfortable or whatever identifying as opossite sex but you get what you get and you dont throw a fit. (side note: i dont get how a five year old can sometimes come out as trans when normal human beings that age dont even care nor know about that and are likely indoctrinated by their parents to first even learn what trans is and that its "ok", the child will likely choose trans because i feel like most children find new or exotic/unique things "cooler" than the social norm humanities been… Read more
@B28R2J7Republican6mos6MO
yeah feelings depression mental illness are reasons of being transgender or non binary or trans male or trans woman made up genders basically
@B28R2J7Republican6mos6MO
its better staying as what your assigned at birth instead of embraceing this why not help all trans or any other made up gender
@9DD8SFJIndependent2yrs2Y
You:"Pronouns are dumb"
Also You: Uses nearly 20 pronouns to talk badly about a minority
@9KQB4661yr1Y
Have you actually looked up the number of people who de-transition? People who are trans don't wake up one day and choose this. The brain is a separate organ. The genitalia are separate organs. They can develop different or opposite of each other. Trans people's brains develop opposite of their genitalia. Have you ever heard of intersex people? Someone born with both male and female genitalia. How is it a trend? Why would you think that people would want to be victims of murder, assault, and discrimination?
@9GTXMPD2yrs2Y
I agree people need to wake up.
@98966FB3yrs3Y
I think its alright to do this but its not right
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
I will call you by whether you appear to be a "he" or "she"
@B28R2J7Republican6mos6MO
If your parents say your this then your a boy or girl what your parents decide you are its not a feeling god for damn people need medication or help with depression to end the woke virus
@B28R2J7Republican6mos6MO
How would you like it if you called me sir and i say my pronouns are usa and next day im a woman and im like you misgender me im them they she him
@B242N96Republican7mos7MO
People who believe they are the other sex, than what they biologically are or were born with, are mentally ill, and should be treated as such. Sex change operations don't change their gender, rather it destroys their current reproductive system, so they can't ever take part in reproduction, and then they go about and deceive people into thinking they are a man or women, depending on what gender they want to be. For example, a trans women cannot get pregnant and give birth, they have no uterus or ovaries same as how a trans man has no balls or penis (at least they don't have a… Read more
