Paladin is Not Overjoyed.

Cue Paladin shitting enough bricks to build tiny homes for every homeless person in Los Angeles.

(On a serious note, good for the courts for going this way)

Actually, it's @TheLonelySquire who'll be over this.

Just curious, why do the professor's rights mean less than the tranny's? Because you agree with the tranny's position, or is there some other basis for it?

Let's play MAKE! IT! BLACK!!!!

"Just curious, why do the professor's rights mean less than the black's? Because you agree with the black's position, or is there some other basis for it?".

Yep, it makes you look like a piece of shit.
Cuz ya are.

Because, as an employee, the Prof has to follow university policy?

Don't tell me we're having to explain the old "employer/employee contractual power imbalance" thing to a fucking right-winger, let alone Mr. "I do what the Army tells me, even if it's a war crime"...

It's a loss for free speech.

The professor is placed in the position of having to endorse gender self-identification or face punishment/termination.

Would he be guilty of discrimination if he avoided pronouns altogether (with everyone)?

I used Paladin because he's been the one beating his gorilla chest about refusing to use pronouns he disagrees with to an obsessive degree.

Exhibit A

Bullshit.

If you insist on being called Mangrove Throatwobbler III, university policy might force me to comply, but that doesn't equal endorsement. I'll still call you a twat down the pub later on.

No-one is being forced to change their opinion of gays by having to bake them a cake, blacks by letting them drink out of the same fountains, or transexuals by calling them by their preferred pronouns. You can be as bigoted as you fucking like on your time.

If someone got fired from Amazon for posting at work about the company's use of sweatshops, you'd be backing Amazon to the fucking hilt and don't fucking pretend otherwise. Funny how the libertarian "employer/employee contract is sacrosanct" shit goes out the window the second Christians don't get to shit on people, isn't it?

I honestly thought that was Oldfella when I replied. Probably the vodka, but also because they're both fucking idiots who really need to just find a motel and go hog-wild on each other.

Aw geez, I thought I'd posted a duplicate post and deleted this

But yeah, they're both bootlickers. Marso 8n particular was probably one of those shit ass officers who sent some seaman up to mast for not greeting him in the P-way

Wait, whom are you calling a twat?



Well yeah, with the pseudo-royal "III", it does become kind of preposterous.


Still, I'd prefer if you didn't drag me into hypothetical scenarios that place me that close to Paladin.

I completely forgot you were a thing outside Python, mate, I'll be frank.

I'll even be Rameses Niblick the Third Kerplunk Kerplunk Whoops Where's My Thribble?

In all seriousness though, I think your well-meaning hypothetical is kind of misleading cause wanting to be addressed with a certain pronoun is several orders of magnitudes below wanting to be called throatwobbler mangrove (when really your name is Raymond Luxury Yacht) in terms of eccentricity. It boils down to demanding to be treated like everyone else, and even if, for whatever reason, you find the concept silly, does it really hurt to be a grown-up about it?

Question for Paladin: is it also a free speech issue to you that professors cannot go around calling their students "asshole", no matter how warranted?

please find an example of where I disparaged a transsexual. Please find an example of where I didn't call somebody by the pronoun they prefer.
I call Tererun "she" or "her" despite considering her a drugged up delusional hypocritical psychopath. I suggest you go to a motel and stick your dick in pencil sharpener (the #2 hole ought to be about right) and give it a few turns and then gargle Drano. Fair enough?

You can refer to me as a black. I'm proud to be one.

I agree. It’s like how my employer won’t let me call niggers niggers. It’s disgraceful really.

Calling someone a derogatory name and not calling them by the pronoun they prefer are not analogous cases.

Whatever you say, princess.

Really? If I consistently refer to you as "Ma'am" despite your objections, that's not deliberately demeaning you the same way calling blacks the N word or "boy" is?

ok lady.

every human on this planet came from Africa when we trace our roots back far enough. Okay us Europeans/Asians have a little bit of Neanderthal DNA but nobody's perfect!

Is it okay if we refer to you as a whiny bitch?

Is that the same thing as you never referring to me as "sir?"

That's offensive!

You should lose your job!

too late, you already took that position - the quota is met!

Snappy comeback there, Sparky. Kindly post a link to anything I've whined about. Don't pull a groin muscle in the process.

Sure thing! Maybe you can post a link to anything I've ever said that was racist (as defined by Webster's dictionary for example) and don't break a hip in the process.

To be fair my high school girlfriend was perfect, but I digress...
