I won't lie, this thread is literally distressing to read and yet I can't look away. [MENTION=20531]yeghor[/MENTION], you accuse those that want to be seen a certain way as being narcissistic and oppressive, yet you fail to take into account context in any sort of measure. You should step back for a second and reflect, and maybe you'll have the epiphany that is needed, which is that this isn't about you. It isn't about your ideology, it isn't about how you feel, it isn't about what you think is right. It is about the other person. The oppressive one in this situation would be you; those that are non-binary are in the minority here and the world is still sadly in a state in which they refuse to accept anything that exists outside what they're used to experiencing. Those that are non-binary are the ones that are being oppressed, being referred to in a way in which they expressly state that they do not like. You come across like the kind of person that lacks self-awareness and empathy for others, making situations about yourself while claiming that the other party is the uncaring one simply because they don't fit into your worldview. It's also amusing as well as appalling that you would attempt to use typology as a way of justifying your discrimination, like I don't even know how to respond to that. It's simple: Call people what they want to be called. It's not difficult and it's not going to cost you anything. Your mindset is an example of the wider issue of many being obsessed with how things were, inhibiting necessary progress as a result. You are not the arbiter of gender. You do not decide whether someone's identity is their 'true identity' or not. You are not justified in refusing to accept that social stereotypes of gender do not outweigh an individual's preference. This is 2021, not the 1950s; trans people exist and are valid, non-binary people exist and are valid, and though you are unlikely to change your mind on this issue, the world will leave you behind in time and you will eventually be in the minority of people, having memes made about your ignorance, not unlike flat-earthers for example. Thank you [MENTION=9811]Coriolis[/MENTION], [MENTION=4050]ceecee[/MENTION], [MENTION=7]Totenkindly[/MENTION], and all the others that are willing to accept others for who they are, at least in this aspect, and for having the immeasurable energy reserves it apparently takes to simply not offend others.
