FWIW mine was concerning ambiguity Cannoli Send a noteboard - 13/11/2018 11:01:03 PM

just kind of pointing out the fact that we call people "It" all the time. I had one specific example that was applied to the two different mindsets of the speaker. One was used out of ambiguity, while the other was to dehumanize. The difference was the intent of the speaker.

Which is also my intent when I faecetiously apply that pronoun to trans people. And babies.

This is exactly why the knee-jerk response was so amusing. - 13/11/2018 01:18:28 AM 541 Views
I think you could argue it's surprisingly apt. - 13/11/2018 01:31:37 AM 574 Views
I don't know what's so hard to understand about this. You don't refer to people by 'it'. - 13/11/2018 08:09:34 AM 528 Views
People are refered to by "it" all the time.... - 13/11/2018 05:26:33 PM 531 Views
But remember, human fetuses aren't people. /s *NM* - 13/11/2018 05:42:00 PM 363 Views
Your second example rather proves my point, don't you think? - 13/11/2018 07:50:39 PM 532 Views

I think I mostly covered that above, but I can recap. - 14/11/2018 08:02:51 AM 535 Views

Sure, I agree. - 14/11/2018 07:45:58 AM 537 Views
Aran'gar does not, and doesn't have to represent, trangender people for your usage to be wrong - 13/11/2018 03:21:42 PM 541 Views
Except that it isn't a person, it is a character in a book - 14/11/2018 02:57:12 PM 521 Views
