Saskatchewan recently became the second jurisdiction to change its policy around pronoun use and name changes for students younger than 16.

    You know, there are worse problems that we should be watching closely instead of caring so much about what fucking random name or pronoun the dude next to us wants to be called by. Surreal.

      No, I need to make life as hard as possible for a sub 1% group of the population that don’t affect me or my family personally in any way.

      I might have to call someone by a pronoun other than the one I was raised to call people, and that’s wrong.

      P.S. pay no mind to climate change or rising inequality, those are “woke” issues.

      It’s okay to care about multiple things. And the names and pronouns aren’t random. For example, I will be calling you “asshole” from now on. Oh, you don’t like that? You think it’s important people call you the name you prefer?

      Weird.

        Uhhh I dont know if I suck at expressing myself or if you are just tired and felt the need to vent somehow… I meant its surreal that people care so much about what pronouns or names someone wants to be called by to the point they make laws to prohibit it or harm certain groups. It is even worse for me when they do it because they are afraid of it. Im not going to insult you.

        For example, I will be calling you “asshole” from now on.

        I gotta admit, that is a pretty good name. I am going to adopt it myself.
