If I asked you to call me "Your Majesty" and bow your head every time (only slightly, tho), would it really be such a pain to you?

- mike00632 5y agoI will leave it as an exercise to you to describe the difference between calling someone by their preferred pronouns and treating them like royalty.
- inglor_cz 5y agoI will leave it as an exercise to you Not the OP, but what a smug reply. This is not mathematics, you are not the professor, and it would be only fair if you started with your own description of said difference, as you see it. You cannot expect that everyone sees it in the same way, can you?
- mike00632 5y agoCan you really not see the difference? Do you need me to explain it to you? Because it's pretty clear that they're different and obvious that this was a bad faith comment. If you honestly believe that respecting a trans person's pronouns is similar to calling them "Your majesty" and bowing to them, then tell me and I will patiently explain to you the lessons you missed as a child in basic human decency.

- lukebitts 5y agoIs calling someone by their preferred pronouns as onerous as treating them like royalty to you? I see now why so many people make such a fuss about this.
