        "If I make a joke about how ridiculous it's that gender neutral people try to be included in a non-gender neutral language, I get one step closer to True Leftism"

        Never said that you hate trans people. Just that it's the same joke.

            Yeah it is. People mock the use of e/x in that exact way all the time. "It's ridiculous, look at me using it wrong on purpose": Chicxs, mx fux x mx casx y prendx mx computadorx....

                No? It's all of this together that makes it the same joke:

                *Méxicx

                *ignorantx

                pendejx

                You finally got it right

                *retrógradx

                That is not mocking "woke discourse" that is mocking gender neutral language as a concept.

                  The first was an actual joke. The others were me intentionally being an asshole by making the same joke.

                      It's funny cus they think they're a Cool, Irreverent Leftist, who doesn't fall for liberal shit. Just conservative shit.

                        The misunderstanding seems to be that this a mostly US/liberal thing and that leftists don't speak this way. When in reality, in Latin American countries liberals would never speak like that. Only leftists and nonbinary people do. Stop giving Latine liberals so much credit.

                          hahaha, like it's taking them until now in my country to half-heartedly try, but since when not knowing a damn thing about other peoples is enough to stop you from showing everyone how much of a Cool, Smart Leftist Who Sticks It To The Libs you are?
