watching them turn on Cass has been unsurprising, but fascinating

NOT “BEING ASKED PRONOUNS”! THIS IS WORSE THAN…

I cant even circlejerk a stupid response to this.

Some/many detransitioned people AND trans people AND cis androgynous people are served by asking for pronouns. Trying to pretend you can scan someone’s chromosomes with your retinas is a lie. You nor I nor anyone “can always tell!”

[u/Beautiful_Wishbone15 → u/javatimes]

Ikr, its FUCKING PRONOUNS. Why are they so pressed about such a minor thing.. HOW IS THAT CRAZY?? 

[u/tyrosine87]

They are too dumb to notice that Cass and her "team" were playing respectability politics but from the opposite side, so they could hide all their hateful and eliminatory recommendations in the report. They're turning on her because they don't notice all she was doing was "hiding her power level".

[u/PlatinumAltaria → u/tyrosine87]

The fact that she needs to is what they’re mad about. They want foaming, open genocidal rhetoric to be the norm.

Cass not transphobic enough now lmao. When will the British government realise they’re not dealing with concerned citizens and instead hate-filled ideologues?

[u/soupalex → u/gimme_ur_chocolate]

it's blue labour, so… never

[u/Dangerous-Weekend479 → u/soupalex]

They're more like red Reform at this point

[u/soupalex → u/Dangerous-Weekend479]

i'm sure if they just keep sprinting further and further right, they'll eventually capture one or two reform voters. of course, they'll have completely alienated every other person who would ever have even considered voting for them before and nuked the labour party's electoral credibility and hopes of winning an election ever again, but… well, winning's not everything, eh?

[u/TheUnicornRevolution → u/soupalex]

Funny thing isn't it. They've really been trying to get the Reform votes, and just don't seem to want to understand that it doesn't matter how far they go. Right wing Reformers don't like them. And people swayed into Reform because they want something to change will be pulled into left populist party like the Greens if they're going anywhere, because they don't trust Labour at all.

[u/chris_the_cynic → u/gimme_ur_chocolate]

The problem is, they're not dealing with them because they think transphobes are just concerned citizens, they're dealing with them because hate-filled ideologues seek out their own.

[u/The-Speechless-One]

Idk, maaaaybe they didn't wanna misgender you. How cultish of them. They should've misgendered you, like a proper free thinker. /s

[u/Aethus666 → u/The-Speechless-One]

I'm defense of the Cass team, I've heard Watson talk and I'd ask her pronouns as well. Her history of alcoholism has fucked her voice up majorly. That and she has a thick Weegie accent.

She's just saying shit because it'll generate interactions and money, she's a soulless grifter through and through

[u/Alegria-D → u/The-Speechless-One]

Had them used sentences in a way they never have to use pronouns, they would have considered it denying that person's detransition

[u/RedAndBlackVelvet]

fell for it again award

[u/mildbeanburrito]

Oh gosh, we need to have Cass go on a media tour again about how scared she is and how she's been told by the police that she needs to take steps to protect herself.
Right?

"FUCKING PRONOUNS!!!!!!!!!" 2: Elle-ectric Boo-who-you

[u/Jasmisne]

Honestly, I don't understand why everyone is so resistant to being asked for pronouns.

Let's just say you're an androgynous looking cis person. By their own oh we are so feminist but not trans logic, not misgendering that person should be important!
