To steal a joke from John Oliver:
For about twenty years, we've agreed to call Puff Daddy "Puff Daddy", "P. Diddy", "Diddy", and then "Puff Daddy" again. And most people don't even LIKE him!

This sounds like the same old stuff from the LGBT community of tumblr. What's next, using their "preferred pronouns"? Getting killed if you don't pronounce them by ze?

I don't agree with threats of violence or any sort of unreasonanble overreaction, but I don't see how its so hard to just call them what they want to be called.

@Vine:
Why -- with all due respect in your OTiness -- did you bring THAT up?! At least I gave a swift warning to the innocents.

"I don't agree with threats of violence or any sort of unreasonanble overreaction, but I don't see how its so hard to just call them what they want to be called." It's hard to call them what they want to be called because they're a guy who wants to be a girl. It's sorta hard to remember "oh yeah, they want to be a girl!"

I can understand if you slip by accident or fault of memory, but I disagree with people trying to flat out attack the labels people give themselves.

Well, my friend is LGB[T] and would flip out when I didn't call them a girl. They'd throw a fit and go offline, just because I forgot.

I can understand why he would be offended, but I'm not going to make any moral judgements on you, since you clearly didn't do it on purpose.

Why not? Why are you judging someone purely by what pronoun they prefer to use to describe themselves?

wanting to be called a pronoun that doesnt exist just sounds like a grab for attention or an impulse to be unique
i dont have a problem calling a guy "she" or a girl "he", but i'd feel like a knob calling someone some wacky word like "ze"
just keepin it 100 |

The pronoun does, in fact, exist. Pronouns are part of language, and language can be manipulated at will. Even really stupid words like "Twerking" and "Nae" are technically part of language.
Also, who are you to make all these assumptions about a person purely because of one part of their character? Humans are very complicated creatures, my friend.

Well, that's your opinion, but is there a problem with just doing it to respect others?
For instance, my grandmother is very religious and I get annoyed by her constant preaching to me, but I listen to it anyways because I respect her, not because I believe in the stuff she's spouting.

realistically though, if someone asked you to refer to them as that in person, would you do it |

Snoop Dogg, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Snoop Lion. We've all respected his name, despite him being a sub-par rapper.
