> Nope..... > People are demanding that, when referring to another person, Stallman not impose names or pronouns he has chosen when he has been informed of the name or pronouns (if any; in some cases the applicable preference is “don’t use pronouns”) which the person identifies as labels for themself... So in short...yes, they are demanding someone else to only use the words they deem tolerable.

This isn't about Stallman being allowed to use words any more than insisting he not rape people is about him not being allowed to have sex.

  If you think you are so in the right at least have the guts to admit what you are demanding others to do instead of using contradicting language to try to weasel your way out of admitting what everyone already knows. And please do not insult and offend rape victims by claiming not using the words you want is the same as rape.
