Why the fuck do these people always panic about such nonsense? Can't we get them panicking about something real like the erosion of our rights, wealth inequality, climate change? No, these feckless idiots are panicked about pronouns. The Pronoun Panic. I guess it's easier to get through your day if you're panicked about something imaginary instead of something real that has actual consequences.

You must realize the privilege you have to be able to take this position. List of people killed for being transgender.
You're so angry that you're picking fights with allies.
My comment was that the white bread christofascists are getting worked up about something that has no effect on their lives in their safe, white bread, christofascist echo bunker communities.
I agree. Although Iโm not sure why you think Iโm angry? Your original comment is ambiguous and could be perceived either way.
You were wrong. Move on.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hundreds of people gathered outside the Saskatchewan Legislative Building in Regina on Saturday to speak out against a new provincial government policy that requires parental consent when children under 16 want to use different names or pronouns at school.
Carla Blakley, a Lutheran pastor in Regina,ย says schools are meant to be a safe space for children and calls the policy "extremely harmful."
Ariana Giroux, director of the UR Pride Centre for Sexuality and Gender Diversity โa non-profit service provider housed at the University of Regina โ hopes the rally sends a message to the provincial government.
Meanwhile, a recent survey released by the Angus Reid Institute found 50 per cent of Saskatchewan respondents said they wanted to be informed and provide consent for students to change their name or pronouns.
In its application, UR Pride said the rules are not justifiable under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and deny gender-diverse students basic entitlements, including "a safe and welcoming educational environment in which to be themselves."
That can take several months to do," Bennett Jensen, director of legal for the advocacy group Egale Canada, which is co-counsel in the application, told CBCย on Friday.
