I literally said "some people", because there are certainly some who don't care if people call them "they". Like I straight up acknowledged that in my first sentence. My point was that it isn't going to jive with everyone, and that maybe people should reconsider that safety blanket of "non gendering".

How is "just using they/them for everyone" not "misgendering because it's easier"? Because asking someone what their preferred pronouns are is too hard for many

I'm one of those people that prefers to have my name used instead of she/her or they/them, and it works quite well once people shake the cobwebs off their brains.

However, living your life as "he" while knowing you are "she" is full of moments that hurt. The English language may not require the distinction, but in practice it is how we define people. Why would you continue to hurt someone by using a pronoun that isn't what they've described themselves as? It's like someone who has gotten your name wrong, and no matter how often you correct them, they continue to call you the wrong name. Except it isn't just one person, it's a class of people that is filled with both those that hate your existence and those who refuse to understand it.

They/them feels just as wrong to some people with gendered identities as some people with non-binary identities feel with gendered pronouns. Especially if they are trans and binary, because it takes a lot to get to the point that people will correctly gender you.

What I'm saying is, you might feel like you're not misgendering, but if someone is binary and you use a non-binary pronoun, you are misgendering.

I don't know what's artificial about stevia. It's a plant that I have grown. We used to just crush the leaves and steep it with tea when I was a kid

It's not animated, but here you go:

Seconding this. Water is also a chemical, and is one of the primary ways rock is worn down.

My professor is an archeologist who specializes in late bronze/early iron age, and it's not unusual to find pieces in collections that have been covered in hairspray or clear nail polish much to her chagrin.

I am also friends with a museum curator. I won't see either of them until Wednesday, but I'll reply again with what they suggest

How is it smuggling if he's been ordered by the federal court to be returned, and everyone in the process is aware of it?

How tf is he a terrorist if he's never been charged with a crime?

How can anyone live with the US promising his safety, and then sending him into the one country in the world he was promised safety against??

I'm allergic to wheat and corn, so I usually end up with potato starch gravy

I wonder if it works with vegan cream cheese?

He is a "free person" who isn't allowed to celebrate his freedom

Can you point me towards a source on the false flag theatrics? I assume you meant Trump, but all I can find is about a congressional campaign

There's less than 1k people in some of those deep red counties, and they are extremely isolated. I'm not excusing the fact that many of the voters here are republican, but much of the state doesn't even have cell phone service. They've never had a reason to change how they think, and yes it's disgusting to hear some of their views. I just wish I knew how to get people to open their eyes to more than the tiny towns their families have lived in for generations
