So when do we start talking about Cishets and their role in Nonbinary genderisms?

Don't worry, I'm just as confused as everyone else ;O;

Except they're not trying to change "the current culturally conditioned connotations to personal pronouns" - they're trying to get rid of personal pronouns altogether, replacing them with a universal pronoun which isn't gender-specific.

Actually in the particular example that pokefloote posted, the person is arguing that the female personal pronoun ("she/her" ) should stop meaning "female". You're thinking of some other part of the Tumblr brigade. There are those that want to add a ton of additional pronouns, and then there are those that want to eliminate them altogether.

That's the problem with the whole rabble, it's too schizophrenic

Forgive me for contesting a modest grammatical proposal which is ungrammatical. ;O;

Of course it's "ungrammatical", a proposal to change the rules is of course against the rules.

Bah, grammar is a set of consensual and ultimately arbitrary rules that has changed over the past and can be changed again. It is a set of mores that were never planned, they more sort of coagulated (and don't get me started on spelling). Arguments towards the conservation of current grammar don't claim the current state is logical, consistent, let alone optimal, they all boil down to "it has always been done that way", "it's traditional", and "change baaad"; which is incidentally also the war cry (or possibly mating call) of the common Foxi ;O;

Foxi4 said:
As for linguistic determinism, the hypothesis states that it's the language that influences the worldview, not the worldview that influences the language, so you picked the wrong hypothesis to support your claim. ;O;

Language influences the worldview, therefore by changing the language we can change the worldview.

Need I even say anything? Foxi4oppressive scum ;O;

*Snip!*

My strong opposition towards... pretty much all such propositions regarding personal pronouns is that changing grammar or syntax is a naturally occurring process which should not be artificially enforced simply because somebody feels offended and plays the privilege card. Take the GVS for example:

It was a process of gradual change over the course of many years and it was influenced by important socio-political happenings at the time. English moved on from Old English to Middle English not for sh*ts and giggles but due to naturally occurring evolution. Yes, language isn't an unmovable stone and yes, it changed over the course of centuries, but through adaptation, not enforcement of pseudo-rules. I also agree that the whole movement is disjointed and schizophrenic, that's mostly because its forefront consists of Tumblerist pseudo-intellectuals who don't actually know what they want (or what they're talking about, for that matter), they just want to play their victim routine.

We could discuss this for another hundred pages, but alas...

I agree. We should move on to gender-neutral restrooms.

Woman claims to have received PTSD from Twitter. Goes on Twitter to tell people of her fear of Twitter.

Not even the Power Fantasy Rangers can handle this one.

Have you never heard of using the enemy's technology against it? I thought you knew about this sort of thing.

That article was entirely unbiased and not slanted in any way

It seems a bit like an armless soldier trying to wield a saber - at best, you accomplish nothing, at worst, you only cripple yourself further.

What about all those historical cartoons with the people wielding a sword with their mouth, often taking out a room full of dudes at a time. The only downside there is you might struggle to make an intelligible quip at the end of it all.

Well, obviously we have to discount the cutting-linguists here.

If a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle is taken as correct then why are you discounting those that are good with their mouths?
