Gender stuff

What's with the gender stuff? Especially the tendency of some posters to use ``ey'', ``them'', et cetera. Am I missing some fad that you guys are getting yourselves into in your real life OR some other online forum/community?

I am aware of the LGBT movement and whatnot, so that's that? Some of us here are part of this movement? Is it because of your ``openmindedness'', or are you a lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender?

Or perhaps it's some semantics enthusiast who longs for a gender-neutral spoken language?

If you want my sincere opinion, I think this whole thing is dumb. As dumb as getting a hissy fit on the use of the word ``nigger''. (or ``jew'')

Honestly I want to believe that /prog/ is populated by smart beings who don't have such stupid intellectual preconceptions. But you are lucky if such are your intellectual preconceptions: It's easy for others to point them out to you, and it's easy for you to understand them. What about me? I have no popular misconceptions. All my misconceptions are dark corners in an otherwise lit room. Nobody will point them out. Will I find out by myself?

It's just the feminist bullshit that kikes spread throughout the western society to disrupt and degrade it.

I, for one, hate gender as it limits behaviour for no good reason. In general, I hate the identity equivalent of every common descriptor (race, sexual ``orientation'', etc).

I personally find that the LGBT movement has gone too far in the direction of identity theory instead of doing the sane thing and rejecting it altogether. If you're male or female or straight or gay or trans or whatever else and you define yourself through that and you let that govern you and determine your entire personality and social interactions, and you go as far as wanting people to use [i]a specific pronoun[/i] when referring to you just to acknowledge that you are indeed in a certain social group, it's your right but you're a fucking dumbass.

Reclaiming a word? Group shit.
Mad because someone outside your group uses a word? Group shit.
Appropriation? Group shit.
The occasional men vs women bullshit? Group shit.

For this reason, I refuse to acknowledge gender (i.e. sex identity) in other people by not using gendered pronouns; it's not out of respect, it's out of disrespect.

But you are lucky if such are your intellectual preconceptions: It's easy for others to point them out to you, and it's easy for you to understand them. What about me? I have no popular misconceptions. All my misconceptions are dark corners in an otherwise lit room.

That's the same for everyone. They're not even dark corners, they're the shadows behind the furniture; you don't see them normally, for otherwise you could get rid of them.

Nobody will point them out. Will I find out by myself?

Maybe.

So you have gender problems. Have you tried hormone therapy? What's your testosterone level?

There are many people that don't fit into the established roles by being gay, lesbian, transgender, whatever, but aren't willing to throw out their identity tags. Rather than throwing out roles all together, they create new roles, take existing roles and swap them around until they feel they fit their intended identity. Then they fight to make these new roles a part of the norm. The path of least resistance would be to accept yourself and let go of the expectation that there is some established role for you. Others will constantly try to fit you into a role you don't belong, so there will be misunderstandings. If you can't deal with this, then you can start a movement to create a new role that you like better than the others and publicly announce your membership to this role. This deflects the misunderstandings from you to the new role itself. It can also serve as a friendly signal to others in the same category so they feel safe around you or in the case of sexuality, able to engage in a relationship with you. So there are advantages and disadvantages to both. With the new role you are still limited by a role, and without it society will label you with other roles regardless.

And then we have this bullshit:

No thanks, I'd rather be a common idiot. At least I don't have erection problems like you.

Because all males are biological jack hammer machines. And if their dick goes limp you throw them out and get a new one. Like any other tool. You are just as dumb as they are.

No, because in order to make babies there needs to be a man - not some transgender undefined piece of biomass - and a woman, and the man must shove his dick into her cunt, and ejaculate. And then the woman must be pregnant for approximately 9 months while the man provides food, shelter and care for her when she can't work. He must also continue protecting providing for the family while she cares for the infant, while the woman takes care of home and hearth.

This is the way it works in 95% cases, whether you like it or not, and until that biomechanic changes, there will be fixed roles. It's the optimal way for a human society to survive and reproduce. Any society where the man's and woman's roles deteriorate is bound to be overrun by the healthier societies. For example, right now the Western societies are being overrun by the Muslims who have crystal clear man-woman role distinction and therefore much higher birth rates than the gender-unsure Western liberal LGBT slime.

I, for one, hate gender as it limits behaviour for no good reason.

I am a man who likes 2D girls. I hate parties, people talking about football annoy me, I don't do drugs, I always leave the toilet lid down and I dislike TV whores. According to societythe niggers out there, I am not a man. However, everyone still calls me a ``he'' because I don't have breasts or a soft high-pitched voice.

You are taking this too seriously. A gendered pronoun isn't going to kill you or condition you to like dicks overnight.
