As opposed to naturally occurring titles?
Ms/Mrs/Mr all reflect objective truths. Mx reflects how the person feels.
We literally made up Ms., Mrs., and Mr.
That's how language works, we get to make it up as we go along.
How do you think we got here??
As I said, they all reflect objective truths. They're descriptive. Mx is not.
Oh I get it, you're just in denial about modern gender theory. Good luck with your rocks. The trick is to bang them together.
As opposed to commonly accepted titles. Not made up, flavor of the day nonsense. Your generation can put up with this shit after mine is gone. Good luck, you are most definitely going to need it.
Hypothetical question:
I have a friend named Richard. He prefers to be called Rich but his boss calls him Rick.
Should his boss adjust to call him Rich because that is what he prefers, or should he just accept being called Rick because it is a commonly accepted nickname for Richard?
That's a name, not a title. You don't get to choose titles, they reflect objective truths.
Exactly, those titles have meaning that reflect "objective truths". E.g. I don't conform to society's male or female gender roles or expectations.
It's almost as if language exists to convey information and has been evolving with the constantly changing society that uses it.
... or was your comment an appeal to made-up semantics because you don't actually have a compelling argument?
Follow well established societal mores, do not change them for .001%.
Answer the question. Why reply just to dodge it? Could have simply not engaged. It's so weird to me.
I did give a valid and correct answer to the question. You either didn't understand or know I'm right so dropped back to the default... ItS sO WeIrD tO mE
So, answer it? Rich or Rick? Both are well established.
So what would you call him?
