Gaming Journalism Ethics Board Chairman
To start, let me say that my husband and I do not care about our children’s or their friends gender identities beyond a deep desire to respect the young people in our lives and create a supportive and positive environment for them. We’re both queer, we understand how hard navigating adolescence can be, and we want to make sure our home is accepting and welcoming to everyone who steps foot in our door.
Our daughter’s friends go through frequent pronoun changes. Often each time I see one of these kids, they will be using a different set of pronouns and a new name and I cannot for the life of me keep it all straight. Our relationship with her friends is cordial and that’s about it, which honestly I feel is appropriate. I’m not a teenager, and so beyond exchanging pleasantries, providing snacks, and offering a ride home they are not a big part of my life. I would honestly struggle to remember their names if they WERENT changing regularly.
But…every time I get it wrong, my daughter gets incredibly offended on their behalf. I am trying so hard but it is just exhausting. Questioning who you are at this age is developmentally appropriate and I don’t begrudge them that, but I also can’t wait till her social group settles into more long lasting identities.
For now I’m just apologizing frequently and baking a lot of cookies.
The kids never stood a chance
What a practical and not r-slurred solution
95% of these replies are very "old man yells at sky". Op seems nice and just needs to use they them for everyone, the problem will likely sort itself out from then onwards.
No, just attention issues.
If they have a peepee you use he/him if the have a vagina you use she/her it’s pretty simple
This isn’t reddit, so unfortunately redditquite doesnt apply here. If you have a reddit account that isn’t banned (mine was banned) can you please harass this guy for me thank you

Do you remember when people used that Grease Monkey script to rewrite all their comments in lefty subs so that their wrong think couldn't be dredged up.

Yeah. At least in that era people thought they needed a pretext not to continue the argument.

Or sold them to political shills.
I had an account I'd just been sitting on for years that I sold for $10 in crypto a few monthd ago.
It feels really good to have more monetary compensation for my zero effort than reddit jannies receive for all of theirs.

I have it on good authority that this is also transphobic along with avoiding pronouns all together.

Instead of Andrew Tate's body count on the forehead thing, we should make kids tattoo their pronouns to their forehead. Every new pronoun they have to put a line through it and put the new one somewhere on their face
If they run out of space, they're stuck with that pronoun

I thought things like this never happen, and "they change their pronouns so often, they need name tags" was a rightwing dogwhistle?

I was always more shy and emotional than the other boys my age. I didn't have a good relationship with my father growing up, which combined with a kind of vague feminist perspective in the world led to the belief that only women were virtuous. I had daydreams about becoming a girl, and no longer having to choose my own destiny in life. But then I found the one who saved me from despair.

Name tags. Everywhere you go carry name tags and a sharpie and before any conversation may begin name tags with name and pronouns must be worn. If they complain then you can point out that this new system is as frustrating to them as the current one is for you.:
