I honestly like that because gender shouldn't fucking matter at all, and this hurts no one while also making less money for overpaid doctors to milk from people.
If they ever start letting people get hormones without an Rx, that'll be the more surprising thing to me. Not opposed to that, for the same reason I think people should be allowed to fuck themselves up with drugs if they want to.
As for the "misgendering" thing, intent should matter. Accidentally calling someone what you are guessing they identify as should be fine as long as when corrected you try to be better. If you're intentionally doing something with the intent to make someone who's mentally unwell feel worse about themselves, then you're a dick.
The problem is that you can't have gendered privileges or laws when gender is a meaningless construct.
Accidentally misgendering doesn't matter if the person being misgendered perceived it as an offense... Even if you did not do it intentionally it does not matter under the proposed schemes.
"Oh hi fellow co-worker, my pronouns today are still he/him, what are you pronouns this hour?"
What proportion of the people covered by this are actually changing their pronouns every hour / regularly?
The most frequent I've ever worked with was someone that changed their pronouns about every 3-6 months. bisexual > Lesbian > gender fluid > non-binary > asexual > self identifying trans male > demi-sexual female and mostly attracted to women.
There was one that changed weekly, I got along with them, but they didn't last long as they were being inappropriate with some female staff or something? I would classify them as aggressively lesbian but that is not what they self identified as.
If I was being cynical, it would depend on how much social media attention they get when they change their pronouns / gender.
I think the problem with identifying the proportion that change frequently is the controversial difference between actual trans and trans trenders. All the actual trans people I knew / know tended to be stable trans for a long time. Younger females (who now account for a major proportion of trans-identifying individuals) are documented to be more prone to changing every few months, like identity is some kind of fashion, political movement or social contagion.
There are heavy social media users that change super frequently and often have a constellation of disorders that are probably not diagnosed nor treated properly.

A dick who believes mental illness should be treated.
Not celebrated, normalized and then legislated by the people who have it.
Wasn't this the sane position until social media was born?
CDC / FBI tried to cover up the illegal CCP biolab in Reedley California.
If I was a conspiracy theorist I'd say they were relying on it for the next election.
I am sure its legitimate for illegal biolabs to be doing GM tests on; chlamydia, e.coli, helicobacter pylori, tuberculosis, mycoplasma pneumoniae, menigitidis, nostoc, sphigobacterium heparium, flesh eating virus, toxoplasma godii, Hep A/B/C, dengue, HIV 1/2, Herpes 1-5, Respiratory syncytial virus, rubella, Covid 19, Marlia and Ebola along with GM mice with humanized genes.
CDC/FBI: Whoops we destroyed the evidence during our investigation and we dispute your accusation that we had the authorization to investigate the alleged biolab.
FBI: We found no nukes, so it wasn't a concern.
CDC: We found no vials of ebola before we incinerated the ebola samples.

This is inmates taking over the asylum level shit.
I don't care what you do inside your house or online.
Keep it away from kids and keep it the fuck away from me.
You are only a dick if you actively seek to upset them when it would cost you nothing to humor them.
I am not arguing that it is not a sort of mental illness, if by illness we mean something 'abnormal.' People who regularly change their pronouns/what they identify as are weird to me. But so far, they've been nice to me so I've been nice to them. This person I'm thinking of also regularly changed their name, so I never really kept track of it but just would say "you" when talking to them.
I think it's kind of stupid, but I'm not that person, so I don't know how they think. And that person did nothing to piss me off.

Nobody asked you to deliver anything. Stop coming here and quoting text from the book of your invisible sky daddy.
God did..
“I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, ‘Here am I, here am I.’ New International Version Isaiah 65:1
But if there was no God how would I recognize authority to not help or whatever in the first place? Are you not arbitrarily barking into some void? Aren't you pointless? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’
“This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.

people should be allowed to hurt themselves (...) If you're intentionally doing something with the intent to make someone who's mentally unwell feel worse about themselves, then you're a dick.
100% True. But then most of them irresponsibly demand 'education', and other highly corruptible things. 'Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave' means you ought to Man-up. Why children can't get Free-dooom but do get da free stuff. They must grow. Right? You don't demand feelings-based treatment for any given situation, in public and as an adult and forever..? Hypocrisy?
Will they get massive entitlement and massive freedom? What I am asking. You get security and no freedom, or much less; not both. Work this out? Entitlements for jobs and healthcare and housing and transport and internet and massive indoctrination and confusion and pronouns? C'mon. We are rising people-children, essentially nowadays. Well, these are my thoughts but I can be wrong. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
Then again, no one should attack and hurt others knowingly, for no good reason. 1000%. But gets tricky I am guessing, with mental illness. Dunno. N' then things start getting absurd and there are hypocritical demands; imo? All these things.. at da same Time?

God is a faggot, he had sex with himself and mpregged himself and squirted the baby into a surrogate because he was too much of a baby to give butt birth.
I'd reply that I never saw Pee-Wee's Playhouse, but that while I am aware of his fall from grace and the reasons for it, I still respect the guy from what I do know about him.
I do intend to watch at least Pee-Wee's Big Adventure some day. Maybe some of Playhouse. I'll get around to trying H.R. Pufnstuf, too.
Being in an adult movie theater and not being allowed to expose yourself is about as stupid as not letting strippers strip.
(I have no desire to do these things; it just seems very strange to my naïve mind that we make so many stupid rules. If you go to an adult movie, you probably are expecting to see nudity. It's just all so stupid.)
RIP, Pee-Wee.

Pee-Wee's Playhouse wasn't that good. Big-Top Pee-Wee was a disappointment. Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is a classic. Pufnstuf doesn't really hold up. I watched Pufnstuf years ago and I've only gotten picker since then.
