    Didn’t they always? “Asshole”, “dirtbag”, “perp”, “fucker” are all gender neutral…

    Border Patrol agents are notoriously conservative. It is a certainty they will ignore this order at every opportunity.

      How is the left any better in this case? Real people and real suffering and they are like “we should think about pronouns”

    Luckily, I’ve never had trouble at the northern border. Actually, sometimes they want to have smalltalk about our queer relationship (we live in different countries) or what a furry is, and I’m sweating as an impatient line is forming behind me, lol. Generally, they’ve either been sweet or indifferent.

    So, they/them, even when describing one person? 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Only in America can your feelings push biology to the back burner. 🤦🏻‍♂️

      Oof.

      Only a conservative would soapbox InDiViDuAl FrEeDuMB but simultaneously care so much about what other people call themselves, lmao.

      Like, if someone says their name is John and you dislike the name John, do you rage and refuse to call them that? lol

        Trying to make conservative sound like a bad thing, just makes you look silly. Also, I don’t recall saying that I cared what they call themselves. In fact, I have actually stated the opposite, just pointing out the absurdity of fiction overtaking fact.

          Being conservative is a bad thing. It’s an antiquated ideology that shows a lack of adaptation to progress. Quite literally stuck in old ways. What’s next, is the Earth still the center of the universe!? Lmao. These buffoons can’t even accept climate change or comprehend the science behind vaccinations. Too busy worrying about what people wish to identify as.

          The conservative ideology is flatly useless and is incorrect on universally every policy position.

          Gender isn’t biology it’s sociology, sex is biology.

          You can’t change your sex on a scientific level but science don’t give a shit how you refer to yourself or whats under the hood, that’s all society.

            I said nearly that very thing, gender = fiction.

            Science might not care how you identify, but documents that are based in fact, should. But, since you can now identify as neither sex on your passport, we are literally putting your feelings ahead of fact. Pretty simple concept.

      Ah yes, we all know that the english language emerged to describe biology and always conforms to exacting scientific definitions that conform to DNA

        Sex = fact Gender = fiction.

        I don’t really care what you choose to identify as, as long as we are in the realm of fiction.

        For example, if you want to identify as a purple unicorn on here, knock yourself out. But, if you choose not to acknowledge your sex by choosing X on your passport, that becomes a problem because that document is based in fact.

        I get it though, let’s make everyone else uncomfortable as long as your feelings are being catered to. 🤦🏻‍♂️

        Let me guess, you probably think J.K. Rowling is a TERF, right?

        GTFO

              I’ve read plenty, including biology textbooks that explain sex is more than just XX or XY.

                I’m not sure what hill you’re looking to die on when discussing sex, since everyone is in agreement that you can’t actually change your biological sex. So, I’m not really sure what point you think you’re making.

              Did you know conservatives are statistically less-educated than the left? I guarantee the average lefty reads more. In fact I bet every other person in this thread is more well-read than you.
