The dick is alright, it's the body attached to it that I dislike.
Remember the movie "Junior" with Arnold and DeVito from '94? Good innocent comedic shock factor of a dude getting pregnant. The idea itself was enough to make the movie funny.
I've never addressed anyone as 'they' and never will. I don't understand how it really happened. Adjusting language to soothe a genuine man or woman's need for affirmation. At what point did the need to cater them exceed the personal freedom of speech. Be it any country.
It's not hateful or discriminating.
Earlier today in a local PoGo group, this guy showed a screenshot of a female character doing some shit in game and wrote "hen" to describe. A swedish mix of han/hon =he/her.
Shit like that annoying as hell.
You are gay in the figurative 90's/early 2000's sense.
And yeah i get annoyed by that too. I will attempt to avoid having to talk to those sorts of people whenever possible.
As for "they..." I've kind of decided to let that one slide. I find a lot of people use it when talking about people they definitely know "pronouns" for (the cisgender types), I myself occasionally do it. I try to avoid it in professional writing but outside of that scope it's something I slip into occasionally.

I'd argue trying to force someone to change their language is the real discimination.
Discrimination would be if
because you were a white male people told you to address them differently than everyone who wasn't.
This isn't discrimination, just people trying to force their worldviews on others. Not too different from bible thumpers trying to force their invisible sky man onto an entire country. They think
everyone needs to follow the same rules, instead of a discriminatory thing where only some people have to follow their rules.
White people not being able to use the n word is an example of discrimination. In my opinion, either everyone should be able to say it without repurcussions, or that rap genre needs to go sleeping with the fishes.
Actually bunneh rap should just die anyway, it's objectively the shittiest genre of music I have ever heard. Worse than modern country music or any other form of rap (which I hate all of).
I didn't even try to avoid the word filter, I typed exactly what you see above.
