Raving Lunatics and the People Who Placate Them

One of my favorite exchanges on Twitter, below—

Herbert@HWoodbery·Why would someone intentionally misgender a persons pronoun?

What a Shambles!@What_a_Shamble· -Are we all psychic? How are we all supposed to know what people want to be called?

BFH of iOTWreport.com@i_tcom· @HWoodbery@What_a_Shambleand 2 others -Well, Herbert, because I don’t use a person’s pronouns in front of them. It’s considered rude. I call them by their name. Why would I say, “He is a moron,” when referring to you in front of you? I wouldn’t be that rude. I would say “Herbert is a moron.”

  1. Remember when you ran away
    And I got on my knees and begged you
    Not to leave because I’d go berserk?
    WELL,
    You left me anyhow and
    Then the days got worse and worse
    And now you see I’ve gone completely
    out of my mind,
    AND
    They’re coming to take me away,
    Haha, they’re coming to take me away,
    Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
    To the funny farm
    Where Life is Beautiful all the time
    And I’ll be happy to see
    Those Nice Young Men
    In their Clean White Coats
    And they’re coming to take me AWAY,
    HA HAAAAA
    You thought it was a joke,
    and so you LAUGHED, YOU LAUGHED
    When I had said that losing you
    Would make me flip my lid,
    RIGHT?
    You know you laughed.
    I HEARD you laugh, you laughed
    You laughed and laughed
    And then you left,
    But now you know I’m Utterly Mad
    AND
    They’re coming to take me away,
    Haha, they’re coming to take me away,
    Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
    To the Happy Home with Trees and Flowers
    And Chirping Birds and basket weavers
    Who sit and smile and
    Twiddle their thumbs and toes
    And they’re coming to Take me Away,
    HAHAAAAAAAAA
    I cooked your food,
    I cleaned your house,
    And this is how you pay me back
    For all my kind unselfish loving deeds
    HUH?
    Well, you just wait,
    They’ll find you yet,
    And when they do, they’ll put you in
    the ASPCA, you mangy MUTT!

  2. She/he/it has metal in its face where there should be no metal. And tits/moobs. Not to mention a strident/angry/demanding voice without making any sense. Like quills on a porcupine or fangs on a mountain lion, this is nature’s way of saying “avoid me-stay away.”

  3. Humanity will never advance to any kind of worthwhile destiny until people like this are driven out of the public eye or tossed off tall buildings. I don’t care which. The crazy perverts have got to go.

  4. I must be missing something about all this pronoun stuff. I cant think of an occasion when I am speaking to someone and I would use a pronoun to address them — except for perhaps “Hey you!”. If he/she/it/they have a name/names that’s what I use. And doesn’t they/them refer to multiple people? I’m sick of these whiny spoiled brats. Their parents must be so proud.

  5. It has a little neck. Maybe it’s the perspective. No Evident muscle tone, that neck can’t be more than nine inches around. Just a little stalk with a big loud bobble head on there.
