A.R. Moxon, Verified Duck 🦆If somebody tells you they don't believe in pronouns just call God "she" and I think they'll figure it out in a hurry.
gnaddrig@JuliusGoat
Or misgender them directly, that should work as well.
Anarchic Teapot ⚧️@gnaddrig @JuliusGoat Tried it, they go into screaming dramaqueen mode, directly into screaming dramaqueen mode, do not pass go, do not collect $200
@anarchic_teapot @JuliusGoat
Would have guessed as much. But sure, pronouns are leftist snowflakes' pet peeve...

Karel Brits 🔻@JuliusGoat or even better: reply to them with the pronoun of their opposite sex.
dingodog@karelbrits @JuliusGoat or "it"
Eggs now in different baskets.@JuliusGoat When the first US astronauts came back from space there was only one question that the assembled journalists wanted the answer to.
"Sirs, sirs! What I, and my readers want to know is, while you were up there in space did you see God?"
The oldest astronaut smiled and said "Why, of course we did".
Another voice shouted out above the ensuing commotion. "Can you tell us what God looks like?".
The oldest astronaut paused, smiled and then answered "Well, first of all, she's black".

Heathen 🐈@JuliusGoat
I call G-d "It/That" and have had many unproductive conversations about how ascribing gender to the Divine is a form of idolatry. At least they stop doing a transphobia so they can argue with me about theology long enough for my trans friends to make an exit.
People will absolutely, immediately, correct you if you misgender their dog, but think trans people are being sensitive.
Em & future cats 🇺🇦🐈🏳️🌈@JuliusGoat 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I will definitely do that next time my family tries to make this argument 😹🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant 🤣💯
Richard W. Woodley 🇨🇦🌹🚴♂️I'd be tempted to just reply "well I don't believe in adverbs, so there", just to send them searching to find out what an adverb is.

@JuliusGoat ha ha ha!
Flipper 🐬🏳️🌈@JuliusGoat they only don't believe in your pronouns
Dr. Sundancer@JuliusGoat " Do you not believe in adverbs and adjectives either?"
Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPE@JuliusGoat I call generic gods "it". Ones with a particular personality I use the appropriate gender, eg "she" for Anoia.
CohenTheBlue@JuliusGoat No pronouns in the language would be ideal.
Who's gonna convince indoeuropeans... In estonian, everyone is "tema", short form "ta". It could be so in english as well, just "they". It's painful to figure out pronouns.
Like when no pronouns are provided, meeting in person or in text for the first time.
So much social make-work.
Dud and Forgotten.@JuliusGoat If god was a man, testicles would not be external, and at kicking height.
Fish Id Wardrobe ⁂@JuliusGoat if gender is not a thing, then we have to ask: does god have a penis?
Marty Fouts@JuliusGoat If you call the god of Abraham “she” I will assume you have seen Dogma.
AAA Trans PirateI remember all the crocodile tears over that movie. god portrayed by Alanis Morrisette was top of the list of grievances. Christian nationalists are so tedious
Miss GayleThe god of Abraham is referred to as "she" numerous times in scripture. The word "Eloah" is the Feminine Divine of "El," and "El Shaddai" means god of breasts. Abraham never knew a violent warrior-king god named yhvh. Abraham worshipped El Shaddai, and Shekinah, also Feminine, which is translated as the presence or face of god. A woman face.
The yhvh character was made up by the priestly caste in babylon, and their text redacted to pretend yhvh was always Israel's god.
stib@MissGayle
If I remember correctly, god uses "we" pronouns in the Old Testament too, right?
@MartyFouts @JuliusGoat

@MartyFouts @JuliusGoat
Not exactly. The word "elohim" translated as "god" is actually plural. It literally means "gods." So every time you see yhvh elohim the literal translation is "yhvh of gods." If you hadn't noticed, the ending "-ah" in yhvh is itself the Feminine form. The switch was never completely successful. King David wrote songs to Shaddai, and referring to god as Eloah, in psalms they didn't dare change (hard to mess with stuff that's been popular songs for centuries).
There is a point where god discussed a conversation with the Heavenly Court and used "we" words which could be interpreted as meaning "we" in the royal sense - that could also mean more than one known Face of god, ie male and female.

A few of us actually dont give a fuck about gender or pronouns or what have you to separate and bin us.
Went to a #SCA event where the autocrat (event steward) demanded everyone's pronouns. I dont care. I said as such, and the autocrat ('she/hers') went on a long freakout tirade. Finally dropped it. She's also a known latte liberal, where the placeholder for a thing is more important than the actions of a thing.
Im also a #lokean. Lot of people dont get that arbitrarily binning people separates and segregates them. I dont much like that.
@crankylinuxuser @JuliusGoat
Latte Liberal yes! Ty for the term.
Being seen doing the right thing is more important than actually doing the right thing, I hate that.

Kagan MacTane (he/him)@crankylinuxuser @JuliusGoat Accepting and using other people's pronouns is good.
*Demanding* them is often tantamount to insisting that (at least some) people out themselves, when they may not be ready to do so yet. Very uncool.
Exactly. I dont care one bit about if someone has preferred pronouns. Ill use 'em!
But forcing or throwing a fit cause I said "I do not care" causes them to blow up? Yeah fuck that and fuck them. Ill enjoy making them blow up and watch the aftermath.
GJ Groothedde 🇪🇺@JuliusGoat It's highly illogical not to believe in pronouns. They obviously exist.

Tabby Schaf🇺🇦❤️🖤@JuliusGoat the longer time God was a she, the shorter time a he. He overtook her values, especially trinity, creation, justice.
ChuffMeister@Tabby_Schaf @JuliusGoat
The ‘shouty sky man’ god is a domestic abuser for sure.
Tell them to read Emily Wilson’s true translation of Homers Odyssey. That it proves god is a women and all men are rapists.
if they won’t even read it, just insist they are wrong and can only sway you by disproving the book.
That should piss them off!
Twenty Twenty Sixhorns@JuliusGoat they're also usually the people who think that sex and gender are the same thing but are never comfortable commenting on god's dick.
