    "oh i don't want to fuck the boat/car/plane/literally any vehicle capable of manslaughter" ok so then you agree that pronouns aren't about things you want to fuck, good talk

    Transphobes will call a 45,000 ton battleship armed with 9 16 inch guns a "she" before they call a trans woman a she.

    There's almost a perfect correlation between how readily a person refers to their car with female pronouns with how much they will resist using them for a trans woman.

    I once got rejected from a translation agency job because I misgendered the HMS Titanic, calling her an it. I've been a vehicular transphobe since then.

    It’s even dumber when chuds over here parrot this nonsense. My brother in Christ, our language has grammatical gender built in. A car isn’t just feminine cause you’re weird like that, it’s accepted convention.

    How you gonna tell me gender is about biology when car, table, screwdriver are feminine and chair, hill, and cloud are masculine!?

    The irony: there's probably an attack helicopter pilot that calls their vehicle "she", and even has a female name for it. That same dude has probably made "I identify as an attack helicopter" jokes.

        Considering the number of jalopies I see in the city with anime decals all over them, I'm pretty sure there's people who basically combine their waifu and their car into one. So a helicopter wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

    We're getting dangerously close to a political compass with one axis for using human pronouns and another for humanized vehicle pronouns.

    (Vehicles will never be more than "it" to me)
