    Nobody wants to argue about fucking pronouns except the people insisting on making it into a fucking issue. Nobody wants to argue it’s okay to fuck who they want except the fuckheads saying you can’t fuck who you want because I disagree.

    This is a beyond garbage take.

      Which are enough that society is split and there is no unity to prevent the planet from burning.

      It’s one way to call them stupid and wait until they change their mind. I think it’s better to recognize that they insist on their way with the same determination. So instead of waiting forever, we should find a way to overcome the split.

          Only that I argue that we should choose one side or the other entirely.

        You’re so right. We need to find a middle ground on every issue.

        Vaccines cause autism is valid. Child brides are valid. Slavery is valid.

          I am not arguing for a middle ground but for choosing one side and fully committing to it.

        Good idea, I propose everybody grows the fuck up and accepts people can be different than they are without being evil. If regressives can’t tolerate the existence of LQBTQ+ comrades, the only two morally acceptable choices I see are for them to get their shit together or for the rest of the world to move on without them. I’d LOVE to see a full working class coalition, but keep in mind these aren’t differences of opinion over tax policies we’re talking here - there’s no room for compromise if the stakes are human rights.
