Comment on Anon cuddles with his first gf
dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 3 weeks agoThank you. You almost have it right. The only thing is that drag’s pronouns are not capitalised. Drag is not a god.
Drag doesn’t think we should police people who use the word lesbian. Drag thinks we should just make sure that everyone’s aware of both sides of the issue. Drag suspects that doing so would lead to the word being abandoned willingly by gay women, the same way trans people abandoned words like transvestite. These days, if an older trans woman calls herself a transvestite, everyone knows she’s old fashioned but doesn’t think much beyond that. Drag thinks that’s how the word lesbian is going to end up.

Lol, I noticed that, sorry. How neat would it be though if it was like a sign of respect/disrespect to capitalize/lowercase pronouns?
That’s fair! I did appreciate reading the opinions/info you provided elsewhere in the comments

Drag has met capitalised pronoun users. They didn’t think it was a sign of respect, and They got pretty mad if someone insisted that it was. They wanted to be treated the same as everyone else while still being Themselves. Unfortunately, many people think that’s a contradiction.
