T has started using other people's pronouns "full time" now because T is "tired of letting language have so much power over me". Like, T wants people's respect but doesn't extend that to anyone else?

Gretchen's friend Carroll introduces her to a girl, saying "she and her bat-crazy tr*nny girlfriend are on a break and she's all depressed about it" and Gretchen's only rebuttal is "I'm not depressed". Gretchen never sticks up for T, she never corrects anyone when T is misgendered, she never supports T in any of these ways. Like T is a shit person but, like, still doesnt deserve this bigotry????

"What, do you only want to date trans people from now on?" Nance is joking here but she got the right idea

"Ebony and Felicia are both black, and Joanna is Vietnamese. i felt a little weird at first, like I was boring next to them. Then I remembered that I bring in the LGBTQIA angle, so I was still contributing." mate is this a joke

"I'm so glad [T's sister is] saying all this stuff. I've never asked these questions. I've been so scared of saying the wrong thing" ask! your! partner! about! their! gender! identity! don't pretend to understand!!!! you need to understand!

At first T didn't use any pronouns for anyone and then T switched to using "they" pronouns for everyone and now T is using "ze/hir" pronouns for everyone and it is so gross

ok so THREE characters have said that the word genderqueer is problematic. there is no explanation except "so-and-so" said it was problematic. someone said it was classist, there is no explanation???? what is happening!!!!
