Only mid @cuddlebitch.bsky.social · 02/10/2026You know, a lot of my issues with "they" wouldn't even exist if people _actually_ stuck to their guns on not assuming gender 🤔 010

Only mid @cuddlebitch.bsky.social · 02/10/2026(and like, my specific abject hatred of being referred to with "they" is, like, a me specific issue, downline of factors that apply to literally only me, and in no way countermands the broader value of not assuming gender) 030
Only mid @cuddlebitch.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Ah yeah, and you know, I said "bio" because "user-name" wouldn't fit in word count, but yeah, I know the exact behavior you're describing. 120
Only mid @cuddlebitch.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Ooh okay I think we are perhaps talking about separate phenomena. You're talking about the contrapoints "I wish people would assume my gender" position, with the "they" thing as a downline from that? The thing I was thinking of is the "you can always use 'they' even if she has 'she/her' in bio" 100
Only mid @cuddlebitch.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I basically agree with your logic about why people do it (the "know which pronoun not to say and panic" logic I mean) 100
Only mid @cuddlebitch.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I guess the point of discontinuity is that I am skeptical of the claim "don't call a non specific trans woman 'they'" is primarily about pushing non binary people out of transfem dominated spaces? Like, I guess I don't see a reason to doubt people's stated rationale for not liking it, even if 100
Only mid @cuddlebitch.bsky.social · 02/10/2026(* I'll fully cop to this being an experience I am bad at not holding as a grievance on an ongoing basis) 100
Only mid @cuddlebitch.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Like irl? Like I guess I'm trying to square this observation with the data points "people were extremely shitty to me about being non-binary circa 2016"* and "the transfem discord server is like 40% it/its non-binary". Like, fully possible our experiences are just very divergent here, I dunno 100
Only mid @cuddlebitch.bsky.social · 02/10/2026What sort of trans spaces are you thinking about when you say this, Ellie? Like, I ask because I felt extremely pushed out of trans spaces over being non-binary a decade ago, but it seems possible we're talking about different things. 130
Reposted by Only midLexi ⛯ @ash243x.bsky.social · 29/09/2026the answer is a lot less satisfying than people want. not only do robots not have *true* free will, we don't either, neither do animals. everything is conditioned on it's experience and various series of complex reactions to it, and the environments reactions to those, and so on. 1193

Reposted by Only midLexi ⛯ @ash243x.bsky.social · 24/09/2026maybe it's futile trying to change minds on social media but wish people would reevaluate anti-ai priors, confront that we have agi, even if not superintelligent (yet), it's already everywhere, and the choice isn't if it can be uninvented, but how much power cops will have over who can participate. 05514
