In my experience, this “clicker-training” consists of childishly threatening to kill themselves if others don’t give them what they want.
- bitwize 4y agoI meant actual clicker training, with the clickers they use to train dogs. It's ridiculous, but so is the lack of respect shown when people stubbornly refuse to use the correct pronouns. There are probably more genderqueer people out there whose families wish them dead, than there are ones who try to manipulate their families by "childishly threatening to kill themselves". I'm reminded of the fragilely masculine fulminating about false rape accusations when so many actual rapists never even get reported.
