  • Perhaps you should understand that people over the age of 60 have different fundamentals and different language than what you are trying to expect from everybody. You are losing potential friends by alienating them only because they cannot learn new things anymore. Not only is it ableist, it’s also bad strategy.

    If you must have hate, focus it on people who actually hate you. Don’t try to imagine hatred in others, in the worst case you and they both might start believing your delusion.

    I mean perhaps we shouldn’t steelman these people but that is obviously not what they’re talking about when they complain about pronouns. But at the same time it’s quite possible that many of them are seeing the word “pronoun” for the first time in their lives and have no concept of what it actually means.
