doing a friendly chat with hillary clinton, a war criminal who is directly responsible for countless deaths abroad and at home, while making a career as an edgy radical left video essayist is incredibly hilarious pic.twitter.com/a9Y2nh4ePe— ☀️👀 (@zei_squirrel) September 19, 2022
I don't want genderless though - I'm a woman and would like to be affirmatively treated as such. assuming that degendering is appropriate on my behalf is just as much intentional misgendering.
yes, default to neutral choices when referring to unknown or unspecified people, or for those whose pronouns you do not know. but a new genderless language dropped wholecloth on the present solves literally nothing about either sexism or transphobia.
the problem isn't language - it's that people think we're women and not-women, men and not-men, at the same time! better ways to hide that fact without addressing the contradictions at the heart of society is a defense of the status quo, a way to sweep the problems of the present under the rug.
yes, I'm coming off strong about an innocuous comment but this is liberalism and Combat Liberalism.
the problem in this particular case where there was ambiguity between someone referring to breadtubers as a group they or misgendering a woman with singular-they is absolutely a language problem, and my wistful dreaming of that not being an issue is not meant to address the larger social issues.
