Amongst other things. Just find it irritating how they have the nerve to call us out on these things while they have a meltdown because I say men can’t be women, or I was called a white supremacist for saying the little mermaid casting was stupid. But we are the ones who overreact. Az can be over the top at times but I can understand that annoyance of the catering to a tiny delusional percentage of the population.

Everything we do is Reprehensible. Everything they do is Different.
Even though I know this to be true, it's still exhausting to deal with.... It drives me up the wall how blatant they are in their hypocrisy and how little anyone cares about it.
I don't care about the hypocrisy; this is what annoys me. The thing is people do notice, but they usually don't realise there is shared consensus until they open up about it somewhere and find everyone agrees.
The Right: Get that gross tranny off our beer cans
The Left: OMG TRIGGERED!!! SNOWFLAKE!!!
Also the Left: Get rid of the Indian on the LoL butter tub, get rid of Uncle Ben from the rice box, get rid of Aunt Jemima from the syrup bottle, black man removed from Cream of Wheat box, Mrs. Butterworth syrup bottle reshaped to a generic one, renamed Eskimo Pies to Edy's Pies, etc.
The problem is that the Lefties are like women in an argument. They don't have any point to make, they're just mad. You cannot prove to them how wrong they are, they will never listen anyway. It's only good for proving amongst ourselves how correct we all are, and why they deserve so little mercy or sympathy.
About ten years ago, I got into it with the girl I was banging about the wage gap myth.
She believes the wage gap is real and due to sexism. I countered every point she made, then suggested she read through an article that had a more detailed takedown of every absurd claim she was making.
This is a woman who prides herself on being reasonable. Naively, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and acted like she was willing to consider the facts and change her mind. She got FURIOUS and told me if I even sent it to her she'd never speak to me again LOL
Needless to say, we stopped hanging out after that day.
I have dozens of similar stories, but the bottom line is you're absolutely right.
That's been their go to for a while.
They saw how effective it was at cutting them down, and tried to coopt it. But they think its just words and if they say them then BOOM magic, and then instantly win. Because again, it works that well on them.
Its why the blacks keep trying so hard to find one slur that stings as much as N does. Its why they tried so hard to call us snowflakes. Its why they keep trying to make their own "epic take down memes" that require an intermission to finish reading.
The problem is that there's not much recognition on the right that tranny pronouns aren't pronouns, they're titles, but we're all still using the term "pronoun" to refer to them, because it's just too damn difficult to do otherwise.
Pronouns are descriptive. A thing can be blue, or large, or dry, or masculine, and these are all obvious to anyone with functional senses. All a pronoun does is refer to a person in general, using their plainly obvious description, rather than specifically.
Tranny pronouns are titles. They aren't descriptive, they're prescribed. Just like tranny pronouns, your senses don't tell you if somebody is a Sir, or My Lord, or Your Honorable. Trannies have to tell your their pronouns the same as nobility once had to present their titles. And like titles, if you choose not to use one after being told to, you can be punished for it.
Backdooring titles into pronouns makes it damn near impossible to deal with. There's no other language you can fall back on, and it's a complicated enough trick that people aren't going to independently invent and settle on pithy comebacks to their attacks.
My best attempt at a comeback to your example would be something like "They stopped being used like pronouns a long time ago," and that doesn't exactly embed that entire explanation into one sentence, does it? It's one of those end-stage leftist tricks that's so complex and manipulative, I can't imagine how you can beat it with speech. Language and human limitations are more easily weaponized by the dishonest.
Had another thought I want to expand on.
When somebody refers to a normal person by "their" pronouns, it's not because they were told, it's because it's obvious. But it's also because they're being honest. In the most basic terms, they're experiencing the world and truthfully describing their perception. It's not something most of us even need to explain, it's just a natural state of living. Even literal drooling retards do this, to the best of their ability.
If an otherwise intelligent person repeatedly misgendered a normal person, it would be a problem. Not because of it's an insult, but because it's deeply dishonest. That's a level of dishonesty and belligerence that would make them incompatible with polite society. Being honest with your senses is the single most basic form of honesty there is, that's why we medicalize dishonest senses as "delusions." If you aren't suffering from delusions, you're just that dishonest by nature, then you're evil almost by definition.
Trannies use their social power to make us lie to remain in polite society, meaning any time we're in the presence of a tranny, we're a society of sociopaths, choosing to lie about our basic senses. What would otherwise be psychotic, violent anger is a totally healthy and justified reaction to a sociopathic society. Some dude having a whinge is almost too tame, by comparison.
No, see, you're looking at this from the etymological perspective of someone utilising tools (language) to describe a characteristic (perception).
The Left are using the tools of language to alter perception. This is why instead of trying to combat them from the intellectual perspective, simply refute their insistence on altering perceived reality.
My number one response to when they say, "Why are you so triggered over pronouns?!"
It's... "Because you're trying to defy reality to accommodate delusions."
You can use this basis for every aspect of their argument.
When they say.... "Don't be a tronsphobe; respect the pronouns bigot!"
Simply reply.... "Entertaining someone else's mentally ill fantasy is not living in reality."
These replies bypass the entire argument of Left-wing sophistry and semantics; it avoids pronouns as the topic, and instead directly addresses the fact that they are attempting to reorient how we describe and/or perceive objective reality.
Simply outlining their arguments as delusional, fantastical, and/or illogical completely nullifies any further need for them or for you to engage, because either they acknowledge they are entertaining delusions, or concede and leave. Though, I'm sure their next step would be to simply make it illegal to offer counterpoints at all.
Then they'll point to the word "you're" and laugh you out of the room. I didn't make that up, that is their current method of attack. It's just one example of how their language hacking is so insidious.
The problem with direct attacks is that normies exist. They're both valueless cowards who would literally rather kill you rather than be ostracized, and also make up the vast majority of social power just by sheer numbers. With lefties, for all their hand-wringing about bigotry, they love a bigot. There's nothing in the world they love more than having an excuse to go on the attack. As soon as the lefties attack en masse, the normies notice, and they side with the mob 100% of the time.
You know what scared the shit out of lefties, and got a lot of normies perking up? Superstraight. There's an inherit conflict between transgenderism and consent in the "transwomen are women" dialogue that normies could always see: If you identify as straight, and transwomen are women, not sleeping with a transwoman solely because she's trans is bigotry.
Superstraight didn't create the conflict between the tranny identity and sexual consent, it just found a way to embed it within itself, being implicitly obvious without being stated outright. Normies knew that conflict existed, but always had to talk around it. They didn't have the language to address it directly, not without fear of becoming a target.
There was no way for lefties to confront superstraight without either invalidating sexual consent, or invalidating trannies. So they didn't. They freaked the fuck out and shut it down as hard as possible. As long as it existed, the normies could speak truth without fear, and that would ruin the power trannies had over them. So leftists didn't take their time "playing" at righteous outrage. They didn't go after people's livelihoods or relationships for the sadistic glee. They just stomped it out as fast as they could, and hoped it wouldn't take root.
Superstraight made it to the front page of Reddit within a day or two, and "suck the girldick, bigot" never has.
You might call what I want to do language hacking, or you might call it meme magic. Our handicap is that we have to be truthful, and we don't have the same mechanism to enforce language as our enemies. But if it didn't work, they wouldn't be afraid.
This is also good because you leap ahead of them when they inevitably fall back on "You're being unreasonable". They LOVE painting their enemies as unreasonable.
I manage a residence for literal drooling retards ("individuals with developmental disabilities" as I say in my day to day...) -- and this is spot on. If I tried to explain to one of my people that a MAN who looks like a MAN should be called she/her, it would short-circuit their already-faulty wiring.
I mostly appreciate their candor and the bullshit-free existence that they lead.
I think you have a point about titles, but I also think it's just a perversion of perception enforced at gunpoint.
They have zero tolerance for "homophobia" or "transphobia".
I have zero tolerance for homophilia or transphilia. I don't care what names that prompts them to call me.
You assume they're people instead of gotcha-bots.
Fleshy organic bots in some cases, but bots just the same.
That’s true
There's several takeaways from this Starfield nontroversy:
a) They're trying to "reclaim" triggered and snowflake, don't let them
b) How can the Right win when they don't even have a united front against the most minor pushes. Having a game that had one possible maybe right-wing point in it wouldn't be a big deal to anyone that isn't the CTRL-Left. But guess what? The extremists will make it an Everest. When they get push back, guess who comes in to play defence? It isn't extremists by their lonesome making these plays, it's extremists making the move and the mainstream consolidating ground.
c) Stop. Caring. About. Your. Double. Standards. The Left set the table, so flip it and leave.
Except for all the times they were upset over the very same thing, yes.
They've convinced themselves that they are right and good. So anything they do is good, even if it's something bad, because their enemies are the bad people, so it's right do to bad to bad people.
I think they call it "No bad tactics, just bad targets"
The entire pronoun concept is based on hysterical overreactions of left-liberal progressives, where are every facial expression and spoken word is policed. That cross-eyed nephew of Chunk has shown just how emotional he gets when talking about developmentally challenged trenders.
This is just the same role assignment as always. "Trigger the chuds." "Trigger the libs."
The entire trender cause can be dismissed out of hand. Every single last one of them is an attention seeker.
I don't think anyone can forget that clownshow of "funding feminism to own the trannies"
