i just find it amusing when people who are never “grammatically correct” suddenly care about grammar
yup

I love grammar, but I’ll use “they” as a gender-neutral pronoun because people have feelings and words don’t, so I’d rather misuse a word than a person’s identity every time. People who don’t get that are rude and mean and transphobic. End of story.
I completely agree here at the end of the day what’s more important a person or ~grammar~?
as a linguist and a transguy i will say this: if it’s understandable to the speakers of the language in question, then it’s grammtical. no ifs, ands or buts. singular ‘they’ is grammatical, and that’s that.
^ there you have it, although given the standard of english people normally use it annoys me that people suddenly have a problem with they pronouns but not slang ect
please, please do! <3 most of the time, I feel that transwomen are almost grossly misrepresented…
I agree, and actually I’ve come across many MtF comics online, I’ll have to set up an MtF version sometime ^^
well if someone absolutely refuses to use they/them they are an asshole, it’s not the english language’s fault
exactly, it’s just to cover up their issue with someone being non-binary, poor cis people it must be so hard to have to live with people who dont fit into two boxes
It makes me sick to my stomach every time someone refers to a transperson as an ‘it.’ worst. feeling. EVER.

I’ll credit you, sorry about that!
luffykun3695 asked: PS. Something I absolutely hate is that the English language does not have a proper set of gender neutral pronouns that everyone understands. I wish we did. It would be so much nicer for people, especially those who identify as genderqueer.
I know, and then when people are asked to use ‘they’ as a pronoun they suddenly care about the english language so much and rant about grammar - cos it’s totally the grammar that bothers them, they aren’t ~transphobic~ or anything -.-
