Some people are gender abolitionists and prefer they/them for anyone who doesn't specifically preclude they/them.
Yeah, i'm not that deep into gender politics. I was just talking about somebody I don't know, have never spoken to, have never met, and i've been relying on OP's news article as my source of truth for all information about her.
She made the choice to be where she is. Here's hoping she has an actual plan and she's not just victim #1 like everyone replying to me is implying.
If she was just using the restroom without sending out a press release ahead of time so that cops would be there this would almost certainly not have happened. I just don't know what this is supposed to accomplish in florida, land of the batshit insane people, especially with everything else bombarding us in the news. I get and agree with the desire to change things back to sanity, but I also know that my opinion is worth about as much as anyone on here.
I dunno, still seems like misgendering someone, just with a different reason for doing so.
well yes, gender abolitionists misgender 99% of the population intentionally. That is the philosophy behind gender abolitionism. You can't break an omelette without eating eggs or something idk.
