Honestly... I have learned there is no winning. Some people want to be called trigendered unicorns for goodness sake.

-shrugs- Most people are not educated enough on medical anything really. Hence the generalizations by most of society are rarely ever accurate. I've worked with a lot of people with different disabilities, so I know what you mean.

BUT I AM A UNICORN! xD

I thought Dae was a seacow o.o

If gender differences get too complicated I'm going to start saying "it" when I refer to everyone... =.=

secretdae007 04-21-2015 05:00 PM

... I AM A SEACOW UNICORN OF THE SKY

Agree in the gender stance. I can't keep up with all the proper terms for people. Or maybe I'll just say "Hey you/person!"

Amane 04-21-2015 09:03 PM

Don't know someone's gender.
Avoid pronouns at all costs.

The Wandering Poet 04-22-2015 01:33 AM

Careful Dae... I actually respond to "Hey you" [lol]

Unfortunately amane there will be people who get offended by "They/Them"... and at that point I don't know what I would use.

Amane 04-22-2015 01:52 AM

Psst… "they" is a pronoun. [ninja]

The Wandering Poet 04-22-2015 02:45 AM

I just don't understand the whole obsession with "I'll get offended if you call me the gender I am not". People call me He, She, I couldn't care less.

Amane 04-22-2015 02:48 AM

I don't like when people are wrong about me, so I'd have to get right on fixing that if someone thought I was a boy.

The Wandering Poet 04-22-2015 03:32 AM

Well sure, but you correct them, they know, and nobody gets upset. But some people get upset the first time.

Amane 04-22-2015 03:44 AM

And dat be cray.

The Wandering Poet 04-22-2015 04:16 AM

The war on political correctness is one we will never win. Because everything keeps changing.

Amane 04-22-2015 04:27 AM

Everything always offends everyone. We could all sit still and never speak again and offend people with our breathing patterns.

The Wandering Poet 04-22-2015 05:00 AM

So true... [lol]

Amane 04-22-2015 05:18 AM

There are some people who make me wonder how they survived longer than a day on the Internet.

The Wandering Poet 04-22-2015 06:30 AM

Yeah... and there's people that make you wonder how they survive in the real world too.
People are incredibly resilient, especially when fueled by stupidity. (Hence that drunken durability I guess)

My mom had that issue with a customer. She accidentally said "he" instead of "she" (transgender, dressed and associates as female but born as male). Now, my mom is not one to judge and it was an accident but this customer (a regular) still holds it against her. This happened almost 2 years ago.

Amane 04-22-2015 10:19 PM

IT'S A DAE!

Come on. In a world like this, it's bound to happen until we can get enough people educated and open to the idea.

The Wandering Poet 04-23-2015 06:32 AM

2 years? Only 2 species I know of that hold grudges that long... people, and cats (We had a cat hold a 14 year grudge).

There's a lady I know who when she talks to parents about their kids she didn't know what to call them, she had to say She in the class but He to the parents. Luckily I told her about the gift of vagueness :D

Amane 04-23-2015 02:00 PM

I will hold onto a grudge for dear life if I want you to suffer. (๏‿๏✿)

The Wandering Poet 04-23-2015 05:03 PM

That's why I live by a very simple yet effective motto. "Don't piss anyone off".

Amane 04-23-2015 05:56 PM

Especially not the nice ones.

secretdae007 04-23-2015 06:21 PM

Mind you, this person does still have some male characteristics (Adam's apple) but my mom doesn't get gender pronouns right 90% of the time. If I got upset every time I was referred to as a he or my brothers' names, I wouldn't be talking to her.

But if you're truly nice, you wouldn't hold a grduge for long.

Amane 04-23-2015 06:23 PM

It's hard to make the nice ones mad, but when they are mad—

The Wandering Poet 04-23-2015 11:33 PM

Especially the nice ones. They deserve to be happy ^^
Hard to make mad, but if you make them mad, run like hell.

So true Dae... I've been called the family dog on the way down the list [lol]

secretdae007 04-24-2015 01:10 PM

If you haven't been called the pet's name, you must be a saint child, lol
