Zotix posted:I have to say, Drudge doesn't seem to be in the camp of defense of the president which I find a bit surprising. But on the other hand didn't Matt Drudge make his name on the coverage of Clinton's impeachment? So perhaps he is trying to appear impartial? Guess he doesn't have marching orders yet? Drudge is almost Fox tier when it comes to setting the GOP talking points of the day. The only time he verges from the party line is to post cheesecake photos of Martin 'O Malley.

No it's fine, when you don't know the gender of someone you should just default to he and that's perfectly fine and beautifully normal, stop talking about the DNI and listen to my takes on pronouns or else you're looking to be offended Edit: That's not directed at flying orc.

Are you sure you aren't the one who is being offended for the sake of it? e: Like, the person you quoted literally said nothing about hate speech. You're literally just using this as a platform to whine. Hate speech might be generally a directed action, but it doesn't mean you can't still be careless (and indirectly hurtful) with language in a undirected fashion Oxyclean fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Sep 26, 2019 |

Your post is dumb as dogshit because you just laid out exactly why "they" would be the more correct word to use in this case on every possible level. It seems like you're just looking for something to complain about, interesting.

I'm not calling anyone out, it was just an opportunity for me, a trans person, to try and give people who might not otherwise think of this, a way to grow.

There was at least one person in the thread saying that if, by this time, Republicans were still mum about the complaint, it was a sign that things were bad for them. This seems to confirm that, despite Graham squawking about "second-hand knowledge".
