    To be fair, women with breasts, ovaries, and uteri are perfectly capable of being impregnated by a submissive pre-hrt trans girl. Perhaps cis women were created by Prometheus for the purpose of breeding submissive transbians

    Drag has fingers that are just the right size to shove up a huge cloaca. Does this mean drag was created for the purpose of giving handjobs to dragons? Yes, yes it does. And drag is happy with drag's purpose.

    Drag agrees. Drag is spreading knowledge of male gendered words in order to counteract the myth that the normal versions of the words are gendered. If someone tells drag that "actor" is for men, drag points out the existence of "actsman". Actor is a gender neutral term and we need to use linguistics to make people realise it sooner.

    Thank you for being honest with drag and confirming drag's hypothesis from drag's last comment. Drag thinks drag understands your motivations for refusing to use drag's pronouns now. And drag is very glad to have helped you in your crusade to end all gendered pronouns by informing you of the gendered pronouns you used in the last hour, so you can edit them and maintain your principles. Drag hopes you're able to maintain this standard you've set for yourself from now on.

    Oh, you think having gendered pronouns is a form of privilege? You want to deny drag the privilege of having identity based pronouns? You perceive the issue as a matter of justice, and you think drag needs to be taken down a peg for having pronouns?

    I refer to everyone with “they”

    Also, drag thinks you should edit the following comments from within the past hour to better align with your moral principles:

    Let drag rephrase. What exactly do you gain by refusing to refer to a trans person the way that trans person wants to be referred? A hypothetical moral high ground in a semantic disagreement? Is the point just that you want to be right in the argument?

    Drag hates the XY problem not because of the noobs who mess up, but because of the greybeards who are supposed to know better. Drag can't count the times drag googled a problem, went to a stackoverflow question asking exactly what drag wants, and there are no replies answering drag's question. Instead, the greybeards have correctly realised that the noob is suffering from an XY problem, and told them the solution to the actual problem. This is great for the noob, not so great for drag and the dozens of other people who found the question from Google. Nobody answered the question we googled! And worse, if we make a thread asking the question, it will likely be closed as a duplicate. Greybeards need to answer the question the noob asked so that these repositories of knowledge can be useful.

    Drag thinks pretending that only electronics are technology is disrespectful to the scientists and engineers of the past who created technologies like the aqueducts, the roads, ships, kilns, swords, and recreational marijuana use. And it limits our ideas about what the future of technology can be, constraining us to a single vision of ever-more-complex computer systems as technology. Drag thinks we need a change in language to provoke a change in thinking. That will open up new directions in science. For example, meditation is a technology, and in the last 15 years psychologists have been pushing scientifically backed up meditation practices to help people. That's technological progress and it's good. We need to open our minds to possibilities like that.

    Also here's a wikipedia article on the history of computer science: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computer_science. Drag learned about the history of computer science from drag's teachers in school. Alan Turing and Von Neumann and Charles Babbage.

    I'm drag's experience, conservatives tip the best. America is falling into fascism, and Americans are the ones who leave massive tips. Civilized countries with leftist labour laws don't have as much tipping, if any.

    Charity is something capitalists invented to get out of paying taxes.

    If you're convinced they're so inferior, then how does letting them die make more sense than manipulating them into doing what you want? You know what they should be doing. They should be saving the world. If you're better than them, then be a leader. Tell them what they need to hear to do the right thing. Genocide is much less fun than domination.

    Not everyone is as clever as you. Most people need hope in order to get motivated to take action. Being able to try your hardest without any hope based motivation is the sign of an iron will. It's very rare. You should tell all the less exceptional people to have hope, because that's how you get them to do things.

    The other side is how noone has gotten to the point of studying the history of technology.

    Drag is pretty sure lots of archeologists have studied technology. For example there was the search for the recipe for Roman concrete.

    Thinking everything is fine leads to apathy. Thinking there's nothing we can do leads to apathy. The correct thought is that it's bad, but we can fix it.

    It sounds like you and drag agree that the winter solstice is only in December in the Northern hemisphere. You've taken on drag's correction and understood drag's point. Thank you for being so reasonable and open minded.

    Drag would also like to clarify that the winter solstice does not mark the start of winter in climates that don't have winter. For example, in places that have a six season calendar.

    Drag doesn't want to be referred to gender neutrally. Drag wants drag's gender affirmed. It isn't hard. You're going to all this effort to switch between "you", "they", and "them" based on complicated grammatical context rules, when you could just use a single pronoun in all cases. You're going to all this effort to inflect pronouns that drag doesn't want. Drag just wants you to take it easy and use a single pronoun. Why make things hard for yourself just so you can make them hard for drag too?

    Xi wants to experiment with using xi/drag person-independent pronouns on this account. So far xi likes using the pronouns, but xi's only written 4 comments and already someone accused drag of talking about Chinese politics when xi mentioned dragself. Xi knows xi's pronouns are confusing, so xi would like to put xi's pronouns in xi's displayname to clear things up. But the character limit for display names on lemmy.nz is only 22 characters, and xi's handle already takes up 16 characters. Xi would need 24 characters to put xi's pronouns in xi's display name. Xi knows some instances also have a separate field for pronouns, and the pronouns get displayed next to the name without taking up displayname characters. Xi would like a place, or at least enough room, for xi's pronouns, please.
