You didn't answer my question. When you meet a stranger, how do you decide which words to use for them if not the way they're purposely choosing to present themselves?

Another day, another subtle insinuation that Brave is the only Chrome fork anyone uses. Are you people being paid to do this?

My brother is a man who has been pregnant. His female reproductive system does not make him a woman. You are simply incorrect.

Do you seriously think spending thousands of dollars and uprooting your life is comparable to registering at a different social media website?
