I cannot feel sorry for OP.

Her stupidity is too much to bear. She is going to allow the TIM in her life to get away with everything he does and she deserves the aggravation.

Sounds to me like she may be on her way to peaking. "TWAW, but, damn it, they still act like men!"

This is why we protest these language changes!

Isn't it funny how all of the forced language changes are all rejected by the groups they're meant to apply to?

Exhibit B: Latinx

I need to find that study that said 97% of Latinos don't use it.

This illustrates the damage caused by giving far more credence to the fantasy worlds of certain (male) individuals than to material reality, the entirety of human history and the "lived experience" of girls and women now and in the past. And it shows the dangers and harm of replacing clear, well-understood terms like sex, sexism, sex stereotyping, misogyny and male supremacy with talk of "gender," "gender identity" and newfangled, meaningless terms like "non-binary."

This woman's fear of coming off as a "TERF" is very reminiscent of women in the 1970s (and beyond) trying to close their eyes to sexism, sexist abuse and misogyny and biting their tongues from expressing their anger over it lest they be branded "women's libbers," "bra burners," "man haters" and feminists.

You forgot "FemiNazis" ;-)

Rush Limbaugh, I hope wherever you are, you're surrounded by FEMINAZIS.
