Look at Gina Carano for proof of that, she has been mercilessly trolled on twitter about it, once again, from the safety of behind a keyboard of screen

She has a problem with bullies hi-jacking worthwhile causes and retaliates by taking the piss out of the very people she's supposedly concerned about?

I think she's being a little disingenuous there. Why didn't she just out the abusive people?

I have heard people in discussions getting upset when a speakers says "you don't do that" and they take it personally.
The way to avoid it is to use the gender neutral "One" As in 'One doesn't so that', but if you use it in normal speech people think you are trying to be 'posh'.
In German they use the word "Mann" as gender neutral.

The word 'Mann' is not gender neutral. It's masculine and means 'man'.
'Man' however, translates our our 'one' that you refer to.
Isn't that the second time that you given out duff gen about the German language?

So not 'duff gen' then, just a spelling error in a foreign language. We are not all blessed with your encyclopedic knowledge though are we? Did you google translate to check it just to score a cheap point?
But when you start 'correcting' other posters spelling and grammar on here it just shows how low you'll go t be a smart arse. Most people on here who start doing it are considered to have run out of argument on the subject under discussion.
As for giving "Duff Gen" about the German language on here before, no I don't recall ever doing it. But I'm sure you'll trawl back through everyone of my 8,000+ posts in the last 10 years just to prove yourself right!!!

I added a smiley to indicate that I wasn't really being that critical, old fruit. Calm down

And I didn't look it up if that really makes any difference

May your day be filled with serendipity, deep joy and good karma.

The people doing that are obviously c**ts. Have you been on twitter? It's full of them.

Left, centre, right... Whatever the person's politics or identity, Twitter is a cesspool of c*ntishness.

[jon1959]

Hen (Swedish: [ˈhɛnː] (About this soundlisten)) is a gender-neutral personal pronoun in Swedish intended as an alternative to the gender-specific hon ("she") and han ("he"). It can be used when the gender of a person is not known or when it is not desirable to specify them as either a "she" or "he". The word was first proposed in 1966, and again in 1994, with reference to the Finnish hän, a personal pronoun that is gender-neutral, since Finnish does not have grammatical genders

Good idea. Much less clumsy than ‘they’ as a gender neutral alternative to he or she. ‘They’ sounds plural - and although that is a small annoyance to me, it is still there and I wish there was a better option in English.

You’ve been brain washed, stop reading the brain rotting nonsense you’ve been reading and start worrying about things that actually matter.

Imagine if you focussed this anger onto some actual injustice and not how some other human being would like to be referred.

I tend to agree with WDB sorry.

I believe that these topics are so divisive they’ve split demographics. I think that they are so polarising anyone that was moderate has hardened stances. What reason, be it brexit, gender or people expressing opinions more on social media etc has yet to be determined but I do find people’s options becoming hardened be that both left or right.

the sad thing is this is all planned by the elites so they can divide and rule its all pushed by the regressive media to control us all

Totally agree. Easily drawn in to have an opinion on everything with no benefit. Must admit falling foul of this myself

[WJ99mobile]

I think it comes down to (and works for all topics)

Does this affect you?
Does this affect you personally?

If either answer is no, then shut the **** up

Sigh.

You really are a sanctimonious, condescending ****er.

Dismiss concerns, wonder why populism is on the increase then blame it on bigotry.
Rinse and repeat election season upon election season.

Trump will win In November because of the left.

Why is calling someone their preferred pronoun a left or a right issue though? It shows how weak, thick and easily led people can be.

People were saying exactly the same things when gay people were getting more rights. Some people are just anti everything.

I just don’t understand why this is such a big issue to some. I can’t even imagine that many people have been affected by it. They just read something about it, get riled up for no reason and are then stubbornly set in their ways and afraid to change their opinion.

If this sort of thing drives people “left” or “right” for some reason they were already well on their way there anyway.

Where has anyone mentioned bigotry?

Whatever brainwashing media you’re consuming is pushing your brain straight there as soon as anyone disagrees with you.

Your concerns haven’t been dismissed they’ve been questioned and you haven’t managed to put across a counter argument.

Vote for trump and get pushed right because someone has asked to you to call them a different name mate, it just shows how weak you are.

Isn't Marxism more of an economic theory

I may be wrong but gender politics forms no part of Marxism?
