Well if "some people" are going to come up with pseudo-crimes like "misgendering" then I might as well state my preference re: "cis". 😉

Wouldn’t bother

OK, that's fine -- you do you -- but are you trying to impose that approach on other people with passive-aggressive little posts on a chess forum?

😉

Plus, I have laid the bait for you-know-who . . .

Your passive aggressive reference denotes personalities, which are not conducive to forums such as this.
If sonhouse starts a thread on the difference between a Chevrolet and a Pontiac, there would be no room or necessity for personal discussions. You would talk about the vehicles. They don’t get that. A few weeks ago one of them wrote about five sentences and within all of those sentence, the word ‘you appeared 14 times.
I wrote them, that the thread and/or the posts are not about me. They are about an issue. They just do not understand what I’m trying to tell them. pitiful

Maybe you're now one of these "He-Man Women Haters". Enjoy the club.

I would bet you are not interested in "how to win friends and influence people."

Dale Carnegie wrote that for fakes. In a business environment. People who like to convince others they give half a crap, without the burden of actually caring.

Correct, but wouldn't you agree that alienating other people is an ineffective way to persuade them to join your cause(s)?

So is lying to them.

You never know when they might get shot dead or abducted from school by ICE officers (in the USA, anyway).

what is the point here? Kiss your kids so you'll feel better if they are shot? How does that work....

"well, my kids were shot today but at least i was able to put my lips on them this morning..." 😕
