So u call them he first and if they ask u to call them something else u do that?
We have a decent supply of transgender supporters/lovers and a balancing hodge podge of haters and ignoramuses so I’d be celebrating our viewpoint diversity.
I responded to a similar comment almost exactly one year ago. My opinion hasn't changed:
Dunno how I missed this one i.e. was just going through this thread for want of something better to do and trying to make sense of it all.

And this is a first given that we're never in agreement on anything you and I.
But that's my understanding and how I was taught (to speak English).
Are we all now supposed to start speaking English differently because Arthur (or Elliot) woke up this morning and decided they now want to be Martha (or Ellen) or visa versa or both or somewhere in-between?
And when does it stop as a matter of interest? Would have been nice to be able to think that when they reached 26 letters (of the alphabet) that would be the end but I see we're already repeating letters i.e. "LGBTTTQQIAA" so there goes that!
And as for the first post on this thread (which obviously was the catalyst for this thread and led to this point in the thread): Caster Semenya is one of our athletes. And let me tell you: her (or whatever) competing against other professional female athletes is, well, unfair at best (being real nice here and has nothing to do with race either) (hard as that may be to believe coming from me). Mike Tyson would think thrice before getting into a ring with her!
Mind you. I'm not sure which is worse i.e. the above or the fact that Breakdancing will be recognized as an Olympic sport in 2024. Then again: right up there with Synchronized Swimming I guess!
I cannot wait to wake up from this. Reagan is still POTUS. Disco and hair metal are alive and well. The currency is still at or around parity with the USD. Cocaine is almost dangerously pure. There's a 99.9% chance that something with tits is what it says it is on the tin.
Either the above or it's enough now with the simulation Elon. Turn it off. It's not fun anymore!
Well I didn't even know who this Elliot/Ellen person WAS until this thread. Doesn't seem as though I missed out on anything special though. Heard of Bruce err... Caitlyn Jenner though (admittedly only because Bill Burr takes the piss out of THEM) (is "THEM" the pronoun I'm now supposed to use?).You know how many times I think I've said the word "she" or "her" in the context of now Elliott Page in my entire life?
Maaaaaaaybe a half dozen or so? Around the time inception came out? Maaaaybe?
I don't think this is a big ask or great imposition.
Therein lies the problem and in response the "big ask or great imposition" thingy. As long as it doesn't affect me: carry on in your own space and on your own time. But so far as I can tell: here we have some celeb. for whom that's not good enough. And on top of that: probably having an influence on preteen fans who don't know shit from a shovel let alone who or what they want to be yet (and as to whether that should even be a debatable point is something I'll steer clear of). The link below is rather applicable (and then some).

Oops. Sorry. Then I misread and/or misinterpreted your initial post on the topic.
