In reply to the discussion: Newsom says Democrats need to be more "culturally normal" [View all]Bettie
(19,534 posts)60. Well, they have always demanded women's marital status
Miss, Mrs. and later Ms.
The same people who are angry about pronouns, were angry about Ms.
And, it is right wingers who whine about that, most normal people acknowledge and move on....it's literally basic politeness: calling people what they prefer to be called.
If someone's name is Robert and he prefers Bob, just call him Bob! If someone prefers to be referred to as "they" rather than he or she, do that. You never hear people whining about that sort of thing, so they CAN adjust, they simply choose not to.

We're told we spend so much time on this stuff, but it's the Republicans who are constantly talking about it.

It means absolutely nothing. I just found those numbers easier to hit on the keyboard.

Honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about? I don't know what it's supposed to mean.

People deal with trans people pretty much uniformly across the country. Some people just don't know it.
