Understand what you are saying but I think calling 'woman or non binary people "thingy's" is rather disrespectful.
You could have worded that better.

I called woman woman, I used "thingy" is a catch all for all the non binary stuff, which I have neither the patience or
desire to be listing individually.

But hey, from now on my pro-noun is arsehole, and I expect everyone here to address me accordingly.

Hey, don't get so cranky.
I was just saying that calling certain people "thingy's" may come across as offensive to some.
And, as a mod, if you don't have the desire or patience to be "listing individually", as you say, maybe you shouldn't be a mod.
Anyway, I suppose this discussion belongs in the Mental Health Thread.

Really mate?

I don't.
If I got it wrong, I apologise. I truly do.
I just thought it came across poorly.
Referring to any human, regardless of their gender preferences as 'thingy's" I found offensive.

Thingy’s is a polite description.

I am all for people doing whatever the f**k they want and being whoever the f**k they are but don’t ask me to ignore science and biology and don’t get offended if I can’t remember one of the 67 different genders you’ve invented.

Ok. I won't. And I didn't invent any of the 67 (lol) genders.
It happens.
And the fact that you think "thingy's" is a polite description tells me where you are at.
I'm not going to reply again. I said before that this should have been taken to the Mental Health Thread. Yet a mod continued it here. It could easily have been taken there.
I'm done with this discussion.

I wasn't accusing you of inventing 67 genders FFS. Read it again. I'm describing a scenario that has nothing to do with you.

One thing I will agree with you on is that Gender Dysphoria is a mental illness. Best to discuss it in that thread.

No problems. Consider it done Mr Arsewagon.

Mate, just a coupla things.

One, I'm taking the piss there a bit. I thought it obvious, but hey.

Two, no it doesn't need to be in the mental health thread because that that thread is more about supporting mates than anything else.

And thirdly ( yeah I know I said a coupla') what I post has sweet f**k all to with the fact I'm a mod. Beyond not transgressing the rules of the forum, or abusing the position, mods here are posters first, that's why I'm here.

The moderating part is work that helps support the site, and it's work that's done for no reward other than to know you've helped keep a community running that you enjoy participating in.

So do us a favour, If you don't like what I post, that's fine, criticise it, call me a shit merkin, whatever, I don't care, sometimes I might even deserve it. But don't be trying to place some kind of expectation or burden on the quality or content of my posts because I'm a mod.

Cheers,

Your first sentence above said this.....

"and don’t get offended if I can’t remember one of the 67 different genders you’ve invented."

How could I have taken it any other way?

Secondly, I've never said that gender disphoria is a mental illness. You said that.
And, it isn't.
You have no idea. And, I know you won't like me saying that. I don't care what you think tbh.
Sorry Gary. I'm not trying to be argumentative or even tell you what to think. I'm actually trying to give you a f**king hint. If you don't get that, I can't help you.
If you have anything more to say, take it to the relevant thread. I suggested this before.

I know some mods personally. So be it.
Not you though. I seriously appreciate what you guys do and the time you put in to keep this site safe. Believe me.
You are certainly not someone I would call a shit merkin. Never have, never will. I'd prefer to hear your Eels thoughts than mod thoughts.
I've mentioned what I thought. I've apologised if you, as a mod, thought it was out of line.
