It’s little wonder he is considered an authority in that subject. Undoubtedly, though, he’s given nowhere near that much thought (or any at all) to trans politics…He’s more likely to fall in line, then, with the societal view of his generation’s time.

He’s also more likely to be full of himself.

but considering what happened on Christmas

I just read that; it’s a shame “live and let live” is such a foreign concept to some people.

Anyway, it’s probably safer staying indoors during New Year’s, so there’s that.

It may have been inspired by “x” representing an unknown variable like you would see in a math equation, so in that context, it kind of makes sense.

Singular “they” has been used since the 1600s at least.

Which is why I said it’s usually a reference to more than one person.

Neopronouns are like xim and xer. Which I have never seen anyone use in the wild, honestly.

Even though it isn’t a neopronoun, for the most part the same applies to “Latinx”.

This makes perfect sense if you think about it; I have to read text with neopronouns very slowly because it’s a challenge to comprehend after having been taught traditional pronouns in school many moons ago.

(e.g., Under the old rules, “they” was usually a reference to more than one person.)

Republicans just need to attach their trans extermination legislation to bills that fund the military or other key government functions, and the Dems will vote for it in large numbers.

Yeah, it sucks when that happens; then if the Dems don’t vote for it, it gets framed by the Republicans as they only care about LGBTQ issues.

edit: For what it’s worth, have a look at this:

Democrats will lean on this tactic to take on Trump during his second term
