I never got why conservative got crazy if you specify a pronoun, but at the same time expect you to specify whether its, it’s Mr/Ms/Miss (and often don’t take Dr as an answer), looks like the same question

    It’s choice. The problem is choice.

    Seriously, not channeling the matrix here. You choose your pronouns. So they have to ask because of something you chose. And they don’t think pronouns are actually choosable. They think gender == sex and it’s a simple binary.

    They tolerate Miss / Mrs because it’s a simple matter of not knowing. The person either is or isn’t married and you have to ask because you don’t know, not because you want to understand their unique identity.

    Small-c conservatives don’t believe in unique identities. They want everyone to know their place. It’s really just another way of looking at the world. Some people prefer freedom with all its flaws. Some people prefer predictability with all its flaws.

    And yes, fuck Republicans.
