A ridiculous comparison.

Nobody was asking this person to yield a belief.
Just strawmen all around.
- anonymouskimmer 3y agoYes, yes they were. The were asking him to yield a belief that pronouns cannot be chosen by the referent, by making him so choose.
- alex_lav 3y agoThey literally did not. If I ask you your height, are you choosing your height? But I don't actually want to continue this conversation with you. I appreciate your point of you, I just do not agree with it in any capacity. Best of luck and have a good day.
- anonymouskimmer 3y agoHis point of view is not mine. I'm just not allowing others to strawman the beliefs he stated in the article.
- alex_lav 3y agoThat's a strawman, though. Nobody made him yield anything.

- alex_lav 3y agoThat's fine. He felt a ridiculous way and acted childishly about it, and was fired. Oh well. Hope he learns from his childish behavior.
