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.

Aran'gar and the trans issue. - 13/11/2018 12:25:48 AM 631 Views
This is exactly why the knee-jerk response was so amusing. - 13/11/2018 01:18:28 AM 349 Views
I think you could argue it's surprisingly apt. - 13/11/2018 01:31:37 AM 386 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 352 Views
People are refered to by "it" all the time.... - 13/11/2018 05:26:33 PM 345 Views
But remember, human fetuses aren't people. /s *NM* - 13/11/2018 05:42:00 PM 276 Views
Your second example rather proves my point, don't you think? - 13/11/2018 07:50:39 PM 332 Views
and those of us defending Cannoli maintain - 13/11/2018 07:59:08 PM 311 Views
I'm not really commenting on Cannoli's post.... - 13/11/2018 09:20:13 PM 328 Views

I think I mostly covered that above, but I can recap. - 14/11/2018 08:02:51 AM 342 Views
Who's on the phone? - 14/11/2018 01:53:14 AM 345 Views
Sure, I agree. - 14/11/2018 07:45:58 AM 353 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 355 Views
Except that it isn't a person, it is a character in a book - 14/11/2018 02:57:12 PM 337 Views
