To all the bigots in this thread, you don’t need to understand why some people struggle with their identities but you do need to respect them and stfu.

There's nothing wrong with not knowing and trying to. You are actually the problem here. It's not even about respect, whom said I didn't respect her/him? Understanding is the first step of acceptance. Your attitude isn't helping. So STFU yourself.

Happy for him! Juno is a classic

but we know the genus in this case, he feels as a man now and not as a girl anymore 

That's why I added that last part - grammar changes and isn't set in stone. I don't think you're a bigot for refusing to use they. I just think you're stubborn, and that grammar is a bad excuse. I don't necessarily agree with the whole non-binary thing either, but using someone's preferred pronouns takes 0 effort. You do you.

Definitely. People shouldn't make a scene if someone accidentally uses the wrong pronouns. Non-standard gender identities are still a new concept for the majority of people. Furthermore, people use pronouns based on what they see with their own eyes. If you mostly present as male (for example, Sam Smith), don't get mad at someone who uses the wrong pronouns by accident. Of course, if they're deliberately being an ******* by using the wrong pronouns, then **** them, and they're not worth your time.

In all honesty, I feel pity.

Why are you quoting me? I didn’t quote anyone.

Not a fan of the transphobic comments. I think that some of you are in the wrong place. I cannot imagine how hard it was for him to come out. This ain’t like a Sam smith situation where someone’s doing it for attention, stop comparing.

Are you just going to sit there and let people post toxic comments or do you just give warnings when people talk about your fave Katy perry

Bro, I just have sympathy for this actress.  She’s never going to be a male.  I’m really tired of this game society is playing with people who have body dysmorphia.  This is like playing into someone’s identity who has an eating disorder.  “Wrong body Birth” isn’t science.  And how can something so rare be so disproportionately prevalent in Hollywood and their kids.  This strikes me as mental health/ attention seeking liberal behavior for the sake of standing out and pushing an agenda.

Straight people say the same about gays. You are gross, take several seats.

i simply don't understand what is the point to use "they". I mean, she come out as a trans man so why we can't use only he instead of they? 

[Mgmgmgmg]

I created this thread to report this happy news and to celebrate Elliot now living as his authentic self.

I am disturbed to see transphobic comments here.

Idk, Wikipedia says he came out as non-binary.

Quote

Page publicly came out as gay in February 2014 and subsequently as transgender and non-binary in December 2020, specifying his pronouns as he/him and they/them, and announcing his new name, Elliot Page.

You don't have to use they/them - you can use he/him if it's easier for you. I guess the idea is that he's non-binary but more on the masculine side?! I mean, I don't really get it either, tbh.

We aren't in every thread 24/7 - if there are ever any problematic posts report them and they'll pop up straight away for us to review.

Those comments made by that particular user were disgusting.

Using they helps normalize gender identities. Translation: it helps create a safer world for people who identify as non-binary, in the same way that straight people calling their bf/gf their partner makes it safer for gays.
