    Can someone explain this to me. What does student policy have to do with space or online posts?

      It doesn’t, Texas is probably better for taxes. He’s just being a bigot to “own the libs” or whatever the real reason is.

      Like most extremely outspoken people with a phobia like this. He’s probably a closet wannabe trans.

      Actually, the more I think about it, it kinda fits for him/her …

        You know… that does kind of track. Back in the 2010’s when the hot topic was gay rights, some of the most zealot anti-gay right wingers… were found to dabble in the very least. And this is some loud stuff that has no direct connection to him, so… yeah.

        Even if he is closeted, you should still respect his pronouns. It’s still bigotry when you do it, just like when any transphobe does it.

          I agree that we should use people’s preferred pronouns. I know it’s difficult to use neopronouns but it’s so seldom an issue let’s just get on with life.

          Elon has protested being identified as a cisgender male, and declared that ‘prosecute/Fauci’ should be used.

          Prosecute has also mentioned that prosecute doesn’t really like people making a big deal about pronouns so let’s just move on.

            Let’s move on so you dont have to examine your behavior here or how it may harm the community you are supposedly standing up for

              Honestly I’d be happy to examine my behavior, because my support for the trans community is real. I don’t think I’m on trial but if you want me to provide evidence I can.

              I don’t agree with the strategy of the previous poster which was to intentionally mislabel Elon. But I think it is appropriate to ironically adopt someone’s insincerely adopted pronouns. That said, I’d be happy to read an explanation of why this is a bad strategy.

              Cheers.

                In general, I don’t think it’s “not transphobic” to use transphobic rhetoric. So that includes using fake pronouns including neopronouns and/or misgendering people.

                  I believe that if the people that maliciously adopt fake pronouns had to deal with people actually using the fake pronouns they would clarify and retract their transphobic fake pronouns.

                    I don’t believe that. I believe that simply contributes to the transphobia they are perpetuating. Have you ever spoken to someone like that and used this technique irl? It doesn’t work, and they are happy they got you to join in agreement that pronouns are “nonsense” from their PoV

      Absolutely nothing.
