And the pronouns are…
Oh good lord will people ever get a grip?
Sam Smith, who, I read, is a celebrated singer:
Today is a good day so here goes. I’ve decided I am changing my pronouns to THEY/THEM ❤ after a lifetime of being at war with my gender I’ve decided to embrace myself for who I am, inside and out…
And who he am is “they/them.” Cue the trumpet fanfare!
Or to put it another way, who gives a fuck?
The “politics” of self-obsession is not a pretty sight. Embrace yourself all you like, but don’t be telling us about it!
But he does. He does tell us about it.
I’m so excited and privileged to be surrounded by people that support me in this decision but I’ve been very nervous about announcing this because I care too much about what people think but fuck it!
It reads like parody but apparently isn’t. He needs people to support him in saying “his” pronouns are they them? He must be as fragile as a soap bubble.
I understand there will be many mistakes and mis gendering but all I ask is you please please try. I hope you can see me like I see myself now. Thank you.
I don’t see you at all, or care.
P.s. I am at no stage just yet to eloquently speak at length about what it means to be non binary but I can’t wait for the day that I am. So for now I just want to be VISIBLE and open. If you have questions and are wondering what this all means I’ll try my best to explain…
Ah that’s all you want, is it, to be visible. Narcissist much?
It’s catnip to narcissists, this pseudo-political fad. Catnip.
That’s really not a thing, Sam. Nobody gets that.
I don’t know you, but based on this I suspect you’re a silly git. If that’s how you see yourself, mission accomplished.
Yeah, wouldn’t I love it is people actually saw me the way I see myself. But they see me through their own eyes, not mine.
And wouldn’t Trump love it if everyone saw him as a stable genius. But even if everyone did, it would not make him a stable genius. Now, if Mr. Ed wants to call himself a stable genius, I might listen.
Don’t forget Francis!
You know, this seems to be one of my personal lines. I have had no real objection to learning to call someone who appears to me to be a he a she, because it is an easy enough accommodation. But people deciding they are plural just irritate me.
We are not amused.
Ahem…
What an amazing announcement from this ninny, revealing nothing about himself other than that he is vapid and vain.
I don’t claim to be plugged into popular culture, so I had no idea who this person was, but I somehow had a news alert pushed to my phone about this story. So literally the first time I ever heard of Sam Smith was when I was getting the “news” that they were changing their pronouns.
I love the announcement as a giant picture. Could it look any more like a desperate bid for attention? And, hey, all credit to him: It worked! Now I know about Sam Smith for some reason.
But they should have rolled this announcement out with a great new song or something. They briefly got my attention but gave me no reason to continue giving it.
Yes I’d never heard of him before either but somehow the process at Twitter caused him to be flung in my face as a matter of urgency. Now I know there’s a singer called Sam Smith who wants us all to think about him.
If you’re at no stage just yet to eloquently speak at length about what it means Why do you fell entitled to demand control over the speech and writing of everyone else on Earth?
The demands to be referred to in the plural brings to mind the NT story about Jesus meeting a man (or two men; three gospels, two versions of events. Unbelievable!) possessed by demons. When Jesus asked the man his name the reply was ‘My name is Legion, for we are many’.
Is this what gender-feelz really is – possession? Does McKinnon need less exercise and more exorcise?
