I am left to wonder if the viciousness aimed at you is because you hold primary membership in the LGB that they want to attach themselves to and you (rightfully in my opinion) reject that. They also are very vicious toward women who object to the removal of the trans prefix from woman. I see a commonality in "you are not really one of us" as threatening to them.

Not in this case though I'm sure that's happened. I didn't put "gay" in my profile n Medium because I don't feel much identification with it. No, this uh person was just a rage case. Its avatar was a cartoon girl snarling in rage and its moniker was something belligerent; its profile was 100% "trans" and "queer" credentials.

As far as I can see the "trans" crowd, especially the biological men, see enemies everywhere and want allies from outside their sore and sick community like a slug wants salt. They enjoy feeling important enough to feel persecuted.

What really scares me is how many people who should know better are buying into this stuff. Barristas in Starbucks have pronouns on their name tags now. A lot of companies demand that employees have them in email signatures. A lot of Democrats have them in their social media profiles.

It is interesting that trans identifying men are most prone to display the traits that feminists find to be toxic in men.

And I couldn't give less of a shit about the gender of the person serving me coffee or that I interface with in business. With a sane business focus on a lack of gender focus, requiring pronouns seems strange.

"Its" seems like an appropriate pronoun for it.

Don't want "he?"

Don't want "she?"

You're not getting "they."

"It" is what you get.

Bububut ...
