Clearly, you’ve never been to therapy. This is called a debate on Reddit. Is this your first day on the internet? Using the wrong pronoun doesn't contribute to suicide but bullying folks does. Which is exactly what you folks are doing and I don’t believe you’re anywhere dumb enough not to know this. This has little to do with name-calling and everything to do with intent. Your defenses are all the classic techniques of bullies. Which is what you are. If not, drop it. The only thing guaranteed in life is change. So, what? You have to change some pronouns when addressing some folks. This is not a big deal. This is common courtesy. This is good manners. This is expected when interacting in a civil society. It’s as simple as your cousin Charlie deciding to go by Charles but you insist on calling them Charlie even after they request otherwise. It doesn't matter if you’ve known them your whole life as Charlie. Doesn't matter people are called Charlie every day without issue. Doesn't matter how silly you think it is. It’s not woke to understand that disrespecting people is not ok or acceptable no matter what form that takes. I'm honestly far from woke and even I see the world’s moving on here. Best you get moving with it because the kids coming up have zero tolerance for your kind of bs and are nowhere as forgiving as us old people. Your transparent little “religious freedom” schemes won't last and are doing irreparable damage to any honest religious freedom cases in the future.
