Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

<Snipped quote by mdk>

I remember when that Jordan Peterson guy first emerged when Canada passed a similar law regarding pronouns. He claimed that America would eventually pass pronoun laws too and although I was sympathetic to his situation I felt the very idea was preposterous. But here we are. Pronoun laws.

@Kratesis

Never underestimate the slippery slope.

American's aren't looking for a handout, they are looking for a hand job.

Really kicking myself for not coming up with that last night ;)

@Penny

Ok I have to admit that is pretty good.

@catchamber I think he has a real point, but at the same time I think he exaggerates a bit to keep views.

@Penny@catchamber@POOHEAD189

Careful with this one, the cringe nearly made me legit ill.

@Dark Wind

At this rate medical staff will be forced to refer to patients in they way they want to be refereed to. I don't know if I can function in a world where I have to refer to a patient as Mr Smith, rather than Johnny Organ-donor. Sad.

@Dynamo Frokane

There is so much there I can't even find a place to begin :P

[POOHEAD189]

Yeah, I've been laughing for nearly 5 minutes.

There are people who would be into that sort of thing and I don't wan't to kink shame. I am interested to know that goes into 'preparing the bed for sex' though.

"Its okay, I enjoy it"

@Penny

Its way beyond a sub/dom kink, especially when hes expecting her to be a virgin before theyve met and 'never nag him'

[POOHEAD189]

@Penny

Same, I was curious.

@Penny

If any staff are not treating patients by their documentation, then perhaps they should not be in the industry. Another example being if one is a "Mrs. Smith", they can get over being momentarily "offended" by it until it is changed in the registry. Further errors from there are either just disrespect by the provider, regardless of direction - a disciplinary issue - or realistically accidental; addressing a masculine person as "sir" unintentionally. No need to invent some fantasy law to entertain the few who care.

But asking people to behave as though they were adults and to get over being addressed with the wrong pronoun, particularly these invented ones, is too much to ask. Let us invent legislation to "protect" these poor people and their truly terrible "suffering".

[Penny]

I do a whole cannon of politically inspired dirty talk. Tragically the one I get most is the guy on the deck yelling mission accomplished when I still need ten more years, two trillion more dollars and another 200 000 troops.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

Oh there there, it will be ok, really it will.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Doubtful, @Penny,this nonsensical approach is the exact reason they keep sliding down the aforementioned slope. Pretending this is somehow "expected" and even "enforceable" behavior is a waste of time and little more than a gesture to appease a very limited number of people at the cost of many others. Only more incentive to ignore California and anyone who follows its cult of "progress".

[Penny]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

Pronouns are hard, I get it. Civilization is on a knife edge as we slide towards the gender neutral apocalypse.

[POOHEAD189]

I think the main point of the article was that knowingly infecting your partner with a disease was worse than misusing words, which I think is...odd.

Still, it wasn't on whether using pronouns is or is not bad. Whether you believe that a trans person is truly the gender they say or not, isn't it at least nice to use what makes the patient comfortable? @The Harbinger of Ferocity

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

@Penny, it is not the duty of anyone to memorize a lexicon of evolving, fabricated and fantastic terms just to entertain a handful of people who feel somehow "oppressed" that they were misidentified. They can learn to deal with "microagressions" like the rest of the population.

If the documents or record states someone is a "Mister" and they are summoned or addressed as such, they can get over their egos of whatever they identify as, @POOHEAD189. If they request it, certainly a person should feel out of their own kindness to entertain that, but should be under virtually no contract to carry out on it, especially under legal threat. At most that should be a work place policy where the facility is held responsible for breaches in bearing by their staff.

This is of course ignoring the fact that knowingly infection someone with a disease is more than just a mere misdemeanor.

[Kratesis]

@POOHEAD189

Is the law a tool to force people to be nice?
