No because he doesn’t actually identify as black. He’s saying it as an example.
People can’t identify as something, just by saying it. They have to actually identify as that thing. In the case of hybrid bird person, I have no idea if they are serious or not. It doesn’t actually have any bearing on my life, so I don’t need to either mock them or accept their choice.
In reality, I know one person who identifies, as a gender different from their sex. They don’t identify as different just because they say they do. They actually do, and because I know them in real life, I have to respect how they choose to identify.
If someone I know said they identified as a bird. I’d be able to have an actual conversation with them to ascertain if there was any legitimacy in that.
As I said right at the top, what people do or say on social media is irrelevant. People can identify as anything that want to on there. If I don’t know them it has zero impact on my life. Hybrid bird person can do whatever they like on tiktok. I don’t have it, I would have never seen it, but for people like you trying to make a point of ‘look, anyone can claim they identify as anything…the world has gone mad’ when in actual fact this has no bearing on your actual world.
Precisely. And for someone who finds the ‘she, her, hers’ stuff many put on their twitter is largely performative virtue signalling that doesn’t always correspond with non binary gender friendliness, but who has long favoured ‘they’ instead of getting into a stupid gender issue about him/her when referring to an unidentified human (back when that was seen as bad grammar), I think the ey/em/eir is hilarious. The lady in question is certainly taking the piss to make deneb’s point.
So hypothetically speaking, if you and I had a conversation and I earnestly explained why I identify as a house brick, you accept and accommodate that?
As I said earlier. Hypotheticals are not helpful or relevant to this topic. They are just cheap ‘gotchas’ from people who don’t want to actually discuss an issue in a meaningful way
But you didn’t answer the question. If I can seriously and in with good will explain to you that I identify as a house brick, would you accept it?
To help, if roles were reversed, I’d laugh my arse of at you and tell the anecdotal story on TAN.
But then is it fair to laugh at people with blatant mental issues? And where do you draw that line? That’s my recurrent point which nobody seems to be able to answer. I can take the piss with the best of them and seriously debate as required. Ultimately, we’re apparently in a society that has to embrace all diversity and include everybody. Really? Bollocks……
