It costs people nothing to use someones' preferred pronouns and yet here we are.
someone
…
STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM! YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE LAW WITH YOUR GENDER-VAGUE WORD.
This is nothing but a distraction from lecterngate. Sarah Huckabee Sanders used taxpayer funds to pay for a personal trip, then had the Republican party expense a $20k podium from a company that has never sold a podium before to try to hide the embezzlement.
They really fucked up
They
FUCK
"Am I so out of touch? No, it's the people who fail to fit into my narrow, regressive worldview who are wrong."
the people
I dunno, man. That’s gender-vague enough to be a problem here.
So... The Party of "small government" once again banning using language that's inclusive of all people. Disgusting...
NASA changed its nomenclature to say human space flight (as opposed to just “manned” space flight) in the 90’s, you transphobic Christian nationalist.

It is happening now, it has happened before, it will surely happen again.
So instead of using they like a normal person would, they have to use something like s/he throughout entire documents? How clunky and ugly that must be.
What were they thinking?
Oh shit, I just used the gender-neutral pronoun "they."
Conservatives are so fucking dumb
So this has nothing to do with the word they. This is TREF nonsense that by using words like pregnant person, the "patriarchy" is erasing women.
Not only that, but she's sneaking in some Fetal Personhood stuff by saying that "pregnant mom" is acceptable.
Reminds me of when North Carolinas own oceanic and atmospheric agency published a study on the negative effects climate change will have on their coastal towns, and what they need to do in response to that.
So their state government responded by banning the use of terms like climate change.
So what they are saying is that it's perfectly fine to address every man as "her, she" incorrectly, every time. Perfect.
To conservatives, cultural war is a real issue. It's not like they care about anything else, as far as their concerned they're going to heaven one way or another. Why plan for today when you can be happy about imaginary tomorrows.
Rather than ‘pregnant people’ or ‘pregnant person,’ use ‘pregnant women’ or ‘pregnant mom.'
And if she's a child? And is she a mom while still pregnant?
