    NASA changed its nomenclature to say human space flight (as opposed to just “manned” space flight) in the 90’s, you transphobic Christian nationalist.

    So… The Party of “small government” once again banning using language that’s inclusive of all people. Disgusting…

      This bullshit again. Just because it doesn’t affect you directly doesn’t mean it’s not the right thing to do! I’ll never have kids but I support maternity/paternity leave. I’m not Muslim but I want them to not be harassed in public. I don’t have a vagina but think menstrual items should be universally available.

    Reminds me of when North Carolinas own oceanic and atmospheric agency published a study on the negative effects climate change will have on their coastal towns, and what they need to do in response to that.

    So their state government responded by banning the use of terms like climate change.

    Excellent. The sooner this stupidity ends, the better. You’re not a “they.” You’re a man or a woman and if you struggle to accept your body then you should see a therapist.

      Trans and nonbinary people have existed for as long as humanity has. Your perception of this “stupidity” as new is the result of people finally overcoming hundreds of years of religious programming; bigotry that has been passed down for generations as superstitious fear anyone presenting in an unfamiliar way, and people are now more willing to express themselves as they actually feel, rather than as they feel they must in order to protect themselves.

      Here’s a short piece of a lecture by a Stanford professor explaining how wrong you are. https://youtu.be/8QScpDGqwsQ

      Did you notice that you have no problem using the gender-neutral pronoun “you” in this comment?

      It’s almost like this isn’t something you actually care about, but just see as something to justify irrational hatred of people. That’s kinda weird, lady.

      Bro this and that has literally nothing to do with each other. “They” has been used for when you don’t know the person’s gender since the 15th century.

            Uhh, what?

            Looks like the people who have problems with ‘he and she’ are the ones who want something to be angry about.

      I’ve found America is pretty much the only nation where ideas like these have gotten hold.

      The rest of the word recognizes it for what it is and just decides to steer clear.

    So instead of using they like a normal person would, they have to use something like s/he throughout entire documents? How clunky and ugly that must be.

    So this has nothing to do with the word they. This is TREF nonsense that by using words like pregnant person, the “patriarchy” is erasing women.
