Racial slurs are gender neutral.
yeah, but I felt like i was pressing my luck here as it were, lol.
"INBRED DICKWAD!"
Wow so glad the SS will gender me correctly while they throw me in a camp
That is to let you know they care.
Hi we know u haven't eaten in 4 days and you've been raped 5 times by us, but could u fill out this short survey about if we gendered u correctly, so we can learn how to better serve you.
Ha ha ha ha I was so confused by that notice. I was like "who the fuck I'm I reporting now." Ah context it helps
This type of policy should be approached carefully so that the sensitive BP men don't start crying.
Border Patrol agents are notoriously conservative. It is a certainty they will ignore this order at every opportunity.
Thats what happen when these lawless thugs face zero consequences after decades of shitting on the Constitution and people's rights.
Incoming right wing echo chamber shitfit...
How is the left any better in this case? Real people and real suffering and they are like "we should think about pronouns"
You know we can handle more than 1 thing at once, right?
But are we doing it?
Yes, the left has been better. The left didn't practice family separation like Trump did.
Luckily, I've never had trouble at the northern border. Actually, sometimes they want to have smalltalk about our queer relationship (we live in different countries) or what a furry is, and I'm sweating as an impatient line is forming behind me, lol. Generally, they've either been sweet or indifferent.
If I wasn't sure what gender it was, I called it an "it".
