There shouldn't be a law forcing someone to call a man a woman or a he a she, it's rude expecting people to observe what is a fantasy based on someone's mental health.

If you want to do it Bob then crack on, it doesn't mean that your acquiescence is the norm.

Common courtesy beyond you too, it seems.

Serious trouble brewing. Websites allied to Maga and other right wing causes are now calling for violence against the judge, the DA and the jury. One site has published what it thinks is the DA’s address and another the addresses purportedly of some jurors. This endangers not just those involved but completely other people whose addresses have been erroneously published.
And what are Maga politicians doing? So far, nothing. The one Republican who spoke against this has been removed as the candidate.
Republican politicians need to speak out en masse to stop this.
Incidently, it raises the chances of Trump being immediately incarcerated as a dangerous person irrespective of any appeal.
This is madness.

It also will make future prosecutions much more problematic. Who’s going to volunteer to be on a jury when they may have to go into the equivalent of a witness protection programme if they find Trump guilty.

I am in no position to apply snap mental health judgements on anyone, so, accepting someone’s wish to be called by a different name, or identify as a different sex is at the very least good manners. I don’t have to understand what they are experiencing to know that being a dick towards them is unwarranted.

To be honest, I think in reality you would do the same.

My point Bob is that there shouldn't be a law or even a requirement for me to do so.

It's following the same path. Moving from taboo/illegal to a medical condition, then a lifestyle choice and ultimately social acceptability.
Paedophilia is now edging towards the same route. Personally I'm hoping bestiality is next.

Better not be!

It's not fun if it's made legal...

That's probably unlikely. He denied Brianna Ghey that courtesy when her murder trial was discussed on here.

You mean like this post?

I remember the murder of Sophie Lancaster at the hands of thugs because she was a goth ( They'd have murdered anyone really), it got me thinking at the time how does evil find evil or is it in all of us?

RIP Brianna and I hope your killers rot in hell if there is one.

Waste of space :)

Well I'll semi-retract it.

But we were talking about Pronouns. Can you quote yourself using she? Because I can remember you deliberately not using that word.
