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.

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