Too PC for me.

I think many of these things are just shibboleths -- things that key a person to display the appropriate degree of contempt or disgust. I think if you were to ask people what it is that disgusts them about such things you'll get one of two answers. Either a litany of things that aren't actually real things related to the term -- bogeyman designed to elicit emotion and mislead -- or the person won't be able to explain themselves in a non-emotive way, but rather with a bunch of coded grunts and noises.

It's odd how being considerate of others is now termed "PC".

Who exactly - are they being considerate for?


Safe bet - no direct answer forthcoming.

It's a small amount of consideration for those who don't conform to gender norms.

The real question is: why does that bother you?

I'm suggesting Biker thinks that this small thing, normalizing PC language, might lead to things he is not interested in accepting such as the expectation that he practice PC language in his life or respect identities he doesn't accept as legitimate, whether that be trans, non-binary, or whatever. I'm reminded of a recent discussion that I had with Neo in which I pointed out that theists may perceive atheists as a threat because they don't accept belief in God which they see as essential to a good, prosperous society. Atheists likewise see theists a threat on the presumption that their revealed religious beliefs and irrationality will pose a threat to a well-ordered secular society. The nose of the camel in this case is a larger liberal culture which Biker rejects and sees as a threat to what he considers essential.

None of the examples you or others have presented show somebody claiming that men get pregnant. Pregnant people is accurate. They are people, and they are pregnant. Apparently you get annoyed when people use language correctly.

Nobody you have been annoyed by has claimed that men get pregnant, so either you're lying, or, once again making up shit. Which is it?

We've shown that men do get pregnant. So the only idiot is the moron who automatically assumes that someone pregnant is a woman out of ignorance.

You claimed that they felt it necessary to use that language, yet provide no evidence of this.

You claim that they believe men can get pregnant, but again, you have no evidence of this.

I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday. When someone makes false claims, claims they can't support, and repeatedly changes their reasons, my Spidey sense tingles.

I don't really think you are cognizant of why you're dancing around things like this. I rather attribute it to you being a clueless moron, with no fucking idea what he's talking about.
