If you tell Americans outside cosmopolitan cities they must declare themselves publicly as “cis het” or else they’re a bigot (I caricature but only slightly), then you should expect to lose elections.
And American elections tend to affect other people in the world. That’s why lots of us wish you would let up a bit on this nonsense.
Idiots thinking that because influencers tell them to feel that way =/= it happening, because it’s not
People are choosing to use those terms and spots for them are being added to things, this isn’t the same as “use them or you’re a bigot” at all and you know it
IIRC a quarter of the Republican ad spending was on that single ad, “The Democrats are for ‘they/them’, Trump is for YOU”. It was that effective.
I don’t care much who is right morally. America’s culture wars are almost an irrelevance to me as a foreigner. I care because it’s skewing American elections. Trump is about to pull out of the climate accord and it will be partly because of this. That is just a crazy situation. You guys need to turn down the temperature. On the Democrat side that means less moralizing and hectoring because it is very visibly driving the other side crazy. It’s not worth it.

Ok, tell me how that’s the Dems calling anyone who isn’t straightforward with their pronouns a bigot. Oh, wait, it’s an argument being made by the party of lies? Then why blame the Democrats?

Cool, I’ll mentally keep you with the other people who think that: Trump supporter. Considering your other points I don’t believe you aren’t one, whether you live here or not, you sure as fuck act like one
Say something valid, then. I also live in the middle of rural dipshitville so acting like I’m some elite is a swing and a miss
even to the point of saying what people are experiencing isn’t happening
Just keep saying it’s happening without proof, that’ll make it true! Nobody is being called a bigot for not prefacing what they say with their pronouns, people are upset that the option is there at all for people to use because they’re suuuuuper insecure
Why do so many people feel that way?
Grifters in the media telling them lies, pretty simple. Well that and gear of change and normal homophobia
It’s cute that you think this is some sort of opinion issue. It’s purely fact that what’s been claimed as happening in this thread doesn’t. Yet you keep pretending it does because you desperately want to be right.
the majority
Lol you idiots aren’t even close to the majority on this specific opinion. Most people are capable of grasping basic English.
Enjoy the next election
Whatever you say, fascist! Keep spreading that sweet sweet misinformation
Maybe what they are trying to say is that most everyday folks don’t use those terms in any normal conversation. I’ve never used those terms myself and haven’t heard them in any conversation I can recall outside of the Internet.

Then say that and not that they’re “impenetrable jargon”, because saying what they said makes you come across as so stupid it’s unbelievable and wraps around to “too obvious”

Yeah, because they’re not actually all that relevant to normal life, but online it’s far easier and simpler to put them out there so people can properly address you in the anonymous internet. Also being put into games and shit for representation, which is likely included in what the person was whinging about
Lol, what are you, illiterate?
Cisgender and heterosexual are really simple to understand, basically every American learns the second term in science class for fucks sake
And with TRANSgender rights in the media for 10 years now only an idiot wouldn’t be able to at least make a good guess on what CISgender might mean

Nothing even close to that is happening and you’d have to be willfully ignorant to pretend otherwise
In polls and focus groups, the voters themselves say otherwise.

With all due respect, I live in the Midwest and run with some rather blue-collar people in a completely blue, large city.
Everyone feels as though the Democrats have stopped listening to them and have been yelling at them for the last 10 years.
And just the mere fact that you are probably going to have the knee jerk reaction and call me an ignorant bigot is part of the problem.
Feel all they want, its not true not is what was being discussed actually even happening, but go off
Pre-defending yourself just shows you know you’re full of it
There you go not listening again, even to the point of saying what people are experiencing isn’t happening.
So let’s say it’s not happening. Why do so many people feel that way?

You’re right, and the majority is wrong. Enjoy the next election. Don’t change a thing, you’re perfect how you are.
