      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Colin Wright

      if someone looks like a woman, use "she" if someone looks like a man, use "he" if you're unsure, avoid using pronouns at all this was basic common sense and kindness decades ago "has a beard but is 'she'", "is non binary", "is 'she' today but 'xe' tomorrow" is nonsensehttps://twitter.com/SwipeWright/status/1453903588405571584 …

      Alej's pronouns are she/they, but claims you need to check in with her/them every time you address her/them to see whether she/they is feeling more "they" or "she" moment to moment. https://twitter.com/alejcat_gc/status/1451313896426549250 … pic.twitter.com/X2KtxvVHPO

      2/ avoiding strong opinions is, in general, good, and it's what I strive for I suggest that the above protocol is reasonable and polite (two good goals) for 99% of cases ... even when epistemically uncertain about Big Culture War Topicshttps://twitter.com/stephengracin/status/1454068866850697220 …

      I've generally avoided having strong opinions about the transgender issue, but this aspect of it does annoy me. It's just rude to force people to jump through hoops to know how they should address you.

      3/ I guess I've got one strong opinion in this realm: people who change pronouns daily, or want to have a beard and yet be called "she", are drama queens and attention whores first and foremost, and they deserve to have their dictates ignored.

          4/ it's true that Successor Ideology is less about ideology qua ideology than it is about overproduced elites trying to parasitize productive people under the guide of an ideology... ...and likewise, I think that 90% of current year LGBT politics is not about LGBT but >>>

          5/ about interpersonal attention whoring. A "bi" woman who's never slept with a or dated a woman is chasing cultural cachet. A "non binary" person with a beard and male genitals named Jim is chasing cachet. Someone with "native American ways of knowing" living in Manhattan...

          6/ Skin in the game / expensive signalling matters. A woman who sleeps with other women can claim a lesbian identity. A special forces guy with two tours in AF can have strong opinions about pistolcraft and ammunition selection. Etc.

          7/ So, having ENTIRELY departed the LGBT topic, I guess I'll just sum up with a meta-conclusion: anyone who's not willing to put skin in the game should be ignored "anti-carbon" politicians who fly 1 million miles a year, "non-binary" Jim, etc.
