And apparently, also when you think that ‘They’ is a perfectly serviceable gender-neutral singular pronoun, but are willing to use other pronouns if asked to.

EDIT: Other removable offenses on Blahaj now include questioning mod/admin decisions and quoting the modlog as a reason why you’re leaving.

    asking to be referred to by pronouns is a reasonable request. asking people to refer to you by pronouns of fictional creatures is also reasonable, but when refused does not make the one who refused a bad person.

    humans exist. she/he/they absolutely exists. dragons do not exist. nor do fae creatures.

    its not unreasonable to refuse to give in to someone’s delusion.

    if you wish to refer to them by the pronouns they made up, that’s fine. but its not reasonable to ask everyone to conform to that delusion.

    and quite frankly, I see it as quite harmful to trans individuals. as it groups transgender individuals with those who are othergender and simply gives more excuses to say that real transgender people aren’t legitimate.
