PROUDLY woke - and sad to see so much bigotry and fear in this community.

"Weaponize words"? Sorry, but this concept is, imho, often the problem of the person who hears/reads the, so-called, weaponized word. A simple "how are you" to a person expecting to be insulted could respond by saying, "are you implying that I'm sick or crazy or dangerous??". Words spoken are easily twisted and misinterpreted by someone with a, so-called, chip on their shoulder. Those who are expecting to be insulted can interpret anything to be an insult.
Yes, sometimes people do try to hurt or make fun someone else. But that is not always the case.
Everyone needs to lighten up a bit.

It is an infinite spectrum on a perpetual timeline. There is no "Today" How do you identify at this moment?

If one sees no humor in weaponizing words, why would one do so then? You will use the words we demand, or be placed in a cage.

It part of "News Speak" the meaning of words are changed to fit the agenda,as bizarre and anti educational as it is institutions of "higher learning" with "safe spaces" where some ideas cannot be challenged, of course debating societies are a thing of the past , facts logic and reason being so overrated,, at a total loss to defend your ideas ?? attack the person ,, many benefits , feel righteous and not have to discomfort yourself examining your thinking

Actually, the question and topic of this thread is: Does less than 0.1% of the population, aided by the woke media and university professors, get to cram this pronoun crap down the 99.9% of normal people's throats??????

I thought the topic was:

Do the bigoted myopic fearful minority get to dictate what someone else gets to call themselves?

I don't care one bit what they call themselves, just don't demand that everyone else address them with the idiotic pronoun they "identify" with. The mentally unstable minority doesn't get the right to dictate to someone else what to call them.

I don't see how someone is bigoted, myopic or fearful because they recognize mental illness and don't want to play the silly game.

I think that is only how the 0.1% would view it

Couldn't have said it better.
