So could their be a he/her or her/him?

I can't imagine what my grandparents would think hearing something like that, I'm 33 and struggling tbh.

Brilliant, posted this in the YouTube thread a few days ago, hadn’t seen the longer clip:

soy boy with "sensory overload" vs Trans person who doesn't like gendered language:


also note the jazz hands being used instead of clapping :D

Pretty sure we have a few posters on here in that very room.

At the very least we have some people who are big fans of this lot. :D

Youtube comment seems to sum it up:

youtube comment said:
"We have a lot of disabled comrades here" probably the best statment made at this convention.

Here's a fuller version.


Its easy to mock but as Newton said, for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. They're a reaction to supremacy, greed and oppression which has and is going on around the world.

I'd honestly like to go just to troll the absolute bjesus out of them, but I doubt I would be able to retain a straight face for barely a few seconds before I burst out into laughter and wet myself.

Yup, it's just to let people know what your preferred pro-nouns are. He/her would imply you switch between the two but both are okay to use. I wouldn't try and figure out any kind of structure to it though, you'll get very lost :D

*POPP*

(Point of personal privilege)

can the comrade calling out the use of gendered language to refer to all comrades by the other comrade who was talking about how the noise in a meeting was distracting please remember that making such a pathetic appeal (complete with faltering voice like their on the edge of bursting into tears) is rather triggering to other comrades who find it hilarious that he? (she?/Zir? etc) apparently is so upset by the use of the term 'guys' to refer to a group of people in *current year*

Don't forget that democrat thought leaders/ fresh new faces like Ocasio-Cortez and Tlaib and are both members of the Democratic Socialists of America, and the first two women of the organization in Congress.

Would be great to go and feign having tourettes. Every now and then at random intervals just let out a huge shout and fling an arm in the air.

I would like to see the resolution to this issue..... where on the hierachy of oppression does having Tourette's and being highly sensitive to noise respectively fall?

Maybe they could just be in different rooms?

Oh wow I mean the left could use a bit more representation in the USA but I'd rather vote for Trump than anyone in that room
