Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Ok, hear me out, super supportive, but I had an issue when a friend's husband wanted me to use "their."

What issue? I fail to see how that impacts you negatively in any way.

So you're not, in fact, "super supportive" at all then, are you, and are not, in fact, worth hearing out.. 🙄

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

That comment did not imply any of this in the least

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

No no, hear me out.

Don't use it then.

The only time you would ever need to use someone's pronouns is when they're not part of the conversation anyway.

I couldn't care less what people refer to me as if I'm not there.

"I was with Dan the other day. They forgot their keys at home. They said they had to go back to get them."

Literally not hard at all?

The only time you would ever need to use someone’s pronouns is when they’re not part of the conversation anyway.

no? it would be weird to use in a one-on-one conversation, true. but it is fairly common to use the third person pronoun of someone during a group conversation, even while they are there

I don't do this, and growing up was taught that it was rude to refer to someone by anything other than their name in a group conversation.

Well... that is entirely a you problem. You should do a little soul searching to figure out why it is so difficult for you to pay someone dear to someone you call a friend the bare minimum amount of respect.

Would you be upset if your friends constantly misgendered you, then acted like you were the asshole because you took issue with it?
