Jim Treacher<\/a> is having pronoun problems … not choosing the ones he wants to use or for others to use for him, but the whole “preferred pronoun” imposition on the rest of society to learn, remember, and use properly the bespoke pronoun choices for all the extra, extra-special snowflakes:<\/p>\n

Remember when you could just use the pronouns that self-evidently described a person? If you were talking about a fella, you’d say stuff like, “He<\/em> did this” and “Here’s what I said to him<\/em>.” Or if you were talking about a lady, you’d say things like, “The 19th Amendment says she can vote now, good for her<\/em>.” It was a simpler time.<\/p>\n

Now pronouns are a frickin’ minefield. You put one little tippy-toe on the wrong pronoun and … BOOM!!<\/strong> A heedless “misgendering” can get you in big trouble. You can get banned from the internet and\/or lose your job. For some reason, you’re expected to enable the delusions of any person with trendy mental health issues. It’s not enough for a trans person to call him-, her-, or themselves whatever he, she, or they want. The rest of us are all obligated to go along.<\/p>\n

Even if he\u2019s a scumbag criminal like Ezra Miller.<\/p>\n

And what’s even worse, this bizarre phenomenon renders news stories about “nonbinary” people almost indecipherable. Just look at this latest story about the ex-Flash<\/em> actor going around the world being a violent lunatic:<\/p>\n
