How does 0.01% of pop asking to be addressed as ‘they’ undermine anything here? Are they saying NO ONE shld use gender pronouns?

I suppose that's why it depends on the nature of the accommodation.

Right. I guess I don’t see any big ‘price’ to addressing a tiny minority using a pronoun they feel that fits them.

Me neither but I support the right not to be forced to use certain words.

there seems to be this weird impulse to ‘refuse to acknowledge’ a person’s identity that _isn’t_ based on ‘science’

Absolutely there is. There's mean-spirited point-making as well as beliefs abt gender that make trans impose & free speech issues.

I think the common denominator here is the ‘imposing' mindset

Autocorrect changed imposs to impose. Was talking abt ppl who believe there is only sex & its chromosomes & genitals.

And that gender is entirely culturally constructed. If true, trans is impossible. Its not true tho.

What I find most frustrating are ppl who treat allies (who may not do everything perfectly) as _enemies_ somehow.

Hence the defensiveness abt language policing. I've been attacked for saying 'both sexes' and 'pregnant women.'
