The fact that she felt the need to put that on there’s funny and the fact that she got fired is funny. This whole world is fucked.
The right is just an empty, meaningless shell. Nothing of value, just mean spiritedness
In many instances it makes perfect sense. What about all the people with gender-neutral names like “Sam,” “Jean,” “DJ,” etc etc. Am I supposed to guess their pronouns? What about jobs where people work with internationals who may not be familiar with the gender that is typically associated with English names? And perhaps most importantly, why not make pronoun signatures commonplace as a low-effort way to help transitioning people to feel welcomed in the workplace instead of pointlessly alienating an already shit-upon population? In other words, why be a dick? It’s more fun to be cool.
Well... psychologically, unfortunately, it's more fun to be edgy and disruptive, which is why being a Republican culture warrior, Internet troll, or ragebaiter is so common.
What’s actually funny is how yall swallow this performative jackassery whole, as if it’s actually improving military readiness or ‘lethality’, instead of demanding accountability from government. Super glad that they’ve clearly solved all the big issues like the PFAS contamination on multiple bases poisoning soldiers and their families, or the entirety of the VA dumpster fire, or the Pentagon not being able to pass an audit for decades.
But nah, let’s fire a 21 year careerist because some terminally online losers got triggered by pronouns and her billet. I’m sure those considering re-enlisting won't mind the risk of losing their pension overnight because Twitter demanded a blood sacrifice.
What exactly are you referring to with "put that on there"?
Care to explain away your top comment?
To you? No.
How about to me?
It’s funny she felt the need to advertise pronouns on her profile. It’s also funny that it bothered someone so much they fired her because of it. It’s all a bunch of nonsense that does not matter.
Which part of this announces her pronouns? Is saying you're a she/her when your female a chargable offence?
Well thanks for the explanation. People put their pronouns in for all sorts of reasons but they're all out of kindness.
Your welcome! Have a great day friend.
Who downvotes this? 😂😂😂
You too :)
Why is the first part funny? Help me out here...
Because...?
How do people like you, who get massive downvotes because they're obviously wrong, gel with that in your head?
I'm serious. How do you see that, and then pick one comment and try to deny what You've said?
