If you go to an online community here and say “Clearly I’m not welcome here, because I refuse to acknowledge black people as equal to whites”, that’s against the rules. Obviously. This is the same situation. What the hell is going on here that perfectly normal people suddenly can’t understand that? Does your ability to understand the concept of rules just… go away, when you agree with the rulebreaker’s views on trans people?
Your bad faith false equivalence isn’t going to work on me dude. I know what you’re doing.
And for the record, before you start victimizing yourself…. I have absolute respect for people’s pronouns. But since you’re a troll- I mean… “dragon” and not a person, I don’t choose to respect yours. Are you trying to force me against my will to behave in a manner inconsistent with my choices?
Drag’s a dragon rider, not a dragon. Maybe you could try actually reading up on the trans people you misgender before explaining their own gender to them and spreading nonsense.
So…. You’re not a dragon, but yet, want to be called drag because you…. ride one? Even though they don’t even exist? I mean, at best it’s a nickname then, not a pronoun. You know this already. It’s been explained to you time and again. But hey, since it’s allowed:
Henceforth, you shall refer to me as 2011 Kia Riofucker.
Oh, and I know PLENTY about the trans community, thank you. Part of that includes the knowledge that “drag” is not a pronoun. It’s as I said- at best, a nickname.
I didn’t ask you about a grammer expert’s take on this issue, I asked you about a queer theorist’s take on this issue. Please do listen to people when you’re talking to people, if nothing else than to avoid simple blunders such as these.
The rest of the world will go by what is grammatically and linguistically accurate.
Alternate choices of pronouns fall into this as they are well within the narrative of how our system of communication is laid out. If someone chooses to use nouns as pronouns, that will be their choice. No one can tell them they can’t do this-
But asking everyone they speak with to defy everything they know about the language they speak just to appease them, is absurd. Which is why anyone right in their mind will default to the assumption that they’re a troll. Because it’s nonsense.
Also, something I noticed… you seemingly ONLY appear in defense of “drag” and rarely discuss anything outside of that. “Drag” opted to walk away from the district when you showed up…
If I contact the admins of your instance, will they find that you’re a sock puppet account? Because if so…. That’ll be quite a few ban evasions…
Drag doesn’t get it.

Drag isn’t a pronoun? According to who? Name at least three scholarly sources on gender and queerness that make that claim
According to the rules of grammar and the rules of ALL Latin based languages. . By the way… It took less than thirty seconds to look this up.
