hey they made an aid pier that got used to distribute a tiny amount of supplies before it got used to launch an Israeli massacre and then broke apart under its own weight

no worries, sleep deprivation can be quite taxing

Sounds like you have no reason to be defensive. Here’s some posts of yours if you wanted to edit the binary pronouns used for cis people to be they/them to be more consistent though.

And figuring out their preferred pronouns isn’t always easy.

usually the pronouns are listed somewhere or you ask

This isn’t as simple as a lot of people want it to be. Going neutral isn’t a slight. It’s not misgendering. It’s a way to avoid accidentally making an error even with the best of intentions.

There’s a reason many trans spaces in Lemmy require listed pronouns, it removes the guesswork and you can reference inline.

If you’re using gendered pronouns for most cis people but then specifically degendering trans people it’s going to eventually rub people the wrong way. People aren’t going to care if you make an error while being well intentioned, especially if you ask for more information and correct yourself going forward.

Point is that avoiding gendering text has been and will continue to be the safer option for general purpose writing.

I do the same, but if someone’s gender is known it’s really not hard to use one of their preferred pronouns.

I don’t think that’s being the ‘thought police’ and it’s certainly not something to focus on instead of hate speech, we can do both.

So which improvised weapons have you crafted to oppose this regime?

I’d say but I don’t want a visit from the alphabet boys

America has already constructed such an effective social murder state that you can pretty readily enact a final solution simply by cutting people off from financial supports.

The status quo is the system unpersons and kills you by neglect if you can’t make rent. This development is an escalation for sure, but it’s just the mask slipping, the senseless cruelty has been there all along.

Be outraged at this, but also please get involved helping people who are uhoused where you live, with money, food, supplies, whatever you can.

Reasons why I’m not going near a fucking airport if I can help it.
