  misgendering used to be calling people the opposite gender they were born with

    That is partly why I support actual transsexuals and not those merely pretending to be the other sex, and those pretending they are "other."

  This needs to be sued into oblivion. No one should have the power to change the English language against the will of most of it's speakers. This is a hill to die on.

    it is really

    if you can't call out obvious lies like this then any lies can spread

    funny the people so concerned witg "misinformation" are so ok with biological falsehoods being protected by law

  This even harms actual transsexuals who work hard to assimilate into the other gender and who have a rugged identity of being the other gender from early in life.

  Here is an example. Someone living as a woman was in court. They asked the judge to refer to them with female pronouns. A decade or 2 ago, that would have been seen as a reasonable request. But the judge said no, that it would set a bad precedent since then they'd have to refer to people with made-up pronouns by those too.

  As for the "they/them" stuff, that should only be allowed if they have Dissociative Disorder. Those are people who truly believe there are multiple people inside of them.

      I've been around. Nothing much has been happening in my communities. A few days back, I lost connection for a couple of days. That had a silver lining. When they came out to investigate, it turned out to be just corrupt settings on their end. They never came inside. The guy cleaned the IR transceiver piece, but other than that, it was on their end.

      Sometime in the past, they did a complimentary upgrade for all their 30/30 customers and gave them 500/500. Well, I never got that. But after they reconfigured everything, I did. So not only did they get me back up and operating, I ended up with about 15 times the speed I had before. While Speedtest didn't show 500/500, it showed 453/475 or something, which was still much faster. I could probably do some tweaking and show a little better. At least when POE or other games update, it won't be as painful of a wait. A game's resources should never be 30 Gb in size. Really, when programmers introduce that much bloat, a judge should sentence them to program on a 6502 or Z80 architecture for a year, or some other retro system.
