(I’m just trying to learn. No hidden mockery in this and this is no gotcha bs aimed at t women. I’m NOT transphobic. Just saw this in a debate and wanted to know other people’s thoughts)

I just want to know:

  1. Is this factually correct?
  2. If it is, does it matter? Why or why not?
  3. How would you logically respond to this?
  4. How does this statement not contradict with Trans Women are Women

    if someone asks to be called she/her/susan then just do it.

    In my life I’ve only met one person who noted her pronouns, and none (including her) who ever asked for specific pronouns use. That’s shit is such a weird Americanism. You’re weird if you do that.

      normally you specify preferred pronouns on the internet or in documentation. in real life, most of the folks in my circles are making it as obvious as possible by communicating it through presentation, or by telling you their name.
