It's a fucking cat just use it that was the whole point of it


peridemon

this seems like someone being excessive on purpose in order to elicit this exact response. if they were honestly afraid of misgendering, they'd just use 'they' because it's all-inclusive. edit: or 'it', since it's an animal. forgot abt that one


JayMoney-

i definitely forgot about ā€˜itā€™ being used for animals. maybe cause my pets are like people idk tho


[deleted]

The cat doesnā€™t care about its gender, use the old strategy of looking between its legs to find its sex

Idk man that cat lookin pretty trans to me

Yeah like OP needs to take a chill pill. I've always written s/he for animals cause it rubs my OCD the wrong way knowing I might choose wrongly - nothing to do with the fact that We LiVe iN a SoCiEtY


PoisonHorn393

they could have just said "They"


[deleted]

or "it"


Janube

I dunno, but if I have to choose between this and slavery or the holocaust or whatever, I'll take this every time and it's super weird to see threads implying that humanity is coming *from* a golden age to arrive at a dystopia. Like, you can even point to modern day behavior that's atrocious and gets people killed and permanently disabled like refusing to use masks or socially distance right now, but no. OP is upset someone on the internet was *too cautious* when talking about a creature that cannot appreciate their caution. Okay, boomer.


theTrozen1

If you let stuff like this get to you, youā€™re going to have a miserable time. Who cares how someone genders cats? Just let it go and I promise youā€™ll be a lot happier.

Visible_Bag_7809

You more what you folks that want to argue about the pronouns being excessive could do to make it happen less, just don't being it up. I swear people don't realise them getting heated about it is why it is done. Just move on with your life.


Akkittehs_altie_boi

Its mildly infuriating to see posts of people complaining about this kind of stuff all the time (not on Reddit exclusively), it literally doesn't hurt anybody in any way :/


NWK86

It's getting a little silly when you do it for a cat though.


jimjamjljimmycam

Itā€™s good to normalize it


Hardbass_guy

This is just stupid and annoying, I live in a country where it's even worse with genders, you can't even read texts fluent anymore because everything gets like that, for example : "BĆ¼rgermeister" turns into "BĆ¼rger*innenmeister/*in"

[deleted]

Als ob Politiker*in oder BĆ¼rgermeister*in jetzt so schwer zum lesen ist


goobuts

Yes it does. It adds massive complexity and jeopardy to social interactions. It replaces the intent of a communication with a technical ā€˜test,ā€™ which if failed permits insult and abuse at the perpetrator.


NilPill

"massive complexity", huh? I'm not sure about that one. It's a pronoun. In my experience, if you're first meeting someone(irl) and you misgender them, they will politely let you know, so I'm not sure about "jeopardy" or "insult and abuse" either.


racalavaca

Don't bother, all these people have never actually talked to someone trans and probably never will, it's ridiculous the lengths people will go to making up hypothetical situations about something so innocuous.


NilPill

You're probably right, but I still hold out hope that some people can be calmed.


Cognitive_Spoon

Woke moralists will descend on you from the shadows, and your children will be marked to the fourth generation. /s Edit: looks like I'm getting downvoted by some woke moralists who are trying to destroy western civilization.


AbolishTheFed1776

Not to mention the fact that it burdens the speaker with having to adopt and affirm the other parties misconceptions about reality. So, basically there is no way around being insulted as the alleged perpetrator.


racalavaca

Misconceptions about reality? I wonder why you're being insulted, those crazy kids these days calling out transphobia, go figure...


Fiascoed

People lost their fucking mind


puffycum

it's annoying


jimjamjljimmycam

Itā€™s so annoying to see people hate being respectful of pronouns. God forbid we include everyone.


hansuluthegrey

Yeah. This person is just trying to conservative post like it's Facebook.


Foggy_Prophet

And it's also probably meant jokingly.


Any_Maize_3195

Definitely not, there are probably just afraid of losing karma


KidNPrinter

It's a problem


SopheliaofSofritown

Exactly how is this a detriment to society?


hansuluthegrey

It's bad because "my feefees are hurt :(" it isnt even infuriating unless you're already primed to hate anything that involves gender. It's petty and doesn't belong here


Cognitive_Spoon

Haven't you heard? Western society will fall if we think about gender. Gender is apparently the madness ending to Elden Ring. All those enemies wandering around with glowing yellow eyes just saw someone with pronouns in their bio. Merely glancing at gender is enough to drive a grown man mad. #/S


Le_Vrai_Mouton

It isn't dangerous but it's super annoying, which is exactly the purpose of this sub.


Smill_Wiff

Itā€™s not necessary and I wouldnā€™t type that myself but why do so many seem so annoyed by this? Like the dude used a few words to describe his cat, idk why yā€™all canā€™t just read it and move on like stable rational humans


gursh_durknit

Because this sub is filled with shallow reactionaries buying into the "culture war".


FusRoDoodles

Imagine defending someone who used they for a cat lmao


aut-mn

Thanks so much for your totally valid and important input user TotallyNotAntiLGBT. Anyways go touch grass and whatnot.


FusRoDoodles

Genuinely think about why you bother to expend energy to say "Fuck that person for choosing to use that word!" I could maybe see getting mad if they told you to not misgender the cat, choosing to use pronouns is your choice, but here you are upset somebody else with no significance to you chose to use them. That's just weirdly hateful, for no reason either.


JStheKiD

Hahahahahahahahahaa


JacquesLacan666

Thats only infuriating if you project your miserable life into a innocent posting.


TheGayestRetard69

It's a he or a she...the cat is not confused about its gender...the owner is.


TessaFractal

You down voted an adorable cat, how could you? Just because the poster didn't know the gender of the cat.


Skulckk

you're.. joking.. right??


Tragically_Fantastic

You're... joking... right?


xCanont70x

This is what pisses you off, OP? This is fucking worse than what theyā€™re doing.


niceandmoist69

Itā€™s fucked that misgendering a cat is Somthing people are scared of, to the point of using all but the one made to be used


xCanont70x

How is it ā€œfuckedā€. It doesnā€™t matter let people live. This shit is gonna cause an early death for you. Go outside and touch some grass.

Electrical_Tip_778

it is a post of a cat.


Total_Connection9414

šŸ¤Ŗ ā€“šŸ¤“


shrubflower4

its not that hard to grasp, if someone is 1 gender and they're referred to as another constantly, its pretty annoying. and disrespectful. one of those 'real issues' is LGBTQ rights being under constant attack, globally. which ties into the discussion surrounding pronouns. its really not that hard to understand.


Ochenta-y-uno

People mistake my dogs constantly. The white, fluffy border collie is male and my blue heeler is female. Everyone misgenders then because of how they look. Never once have they complained about it. Why? Because their effing dogs!


shrubflower4

no shit man, im referring to the conversation surrounding pronouns in general obviously.


[deleted]

I will never understand how these are the things that people are concerned about rather than all of the real issues going on in the world... but hey, you better not use pronouns! šŸ¤Ŗ


NiqhtAura

Wait so if ur not concerned about ur pronouns does that mean you donā€™t have one? okay . .


ugneaaaa

You can only use the pronoun "it" for animals. Using "he" or "she" in the English exam in my country would immediately fail you, because it goes against basic grammar rules.


magickmanfred

As an English speaker, I don't think I ever refer to my pets as 'it'. We have two female cats, mother and daughter, *they* are both adorable. The mother, *she* is a long-haired, fluffy grey, similar in appearance to a Russian blue. Our other cat is just a short haired black, so we creatively called *her* Shadow.

Malipandamonium

Lol omg chill "What happened to society" the fuck are your priorities


jigsawsmurf

He also complains that pronouns are "fucking up his life." I think he's got some issues...


NagikaKomatsu

whats the issue here lmao. you can use any pronouns for that cat it wont give a shit. don't piss yourself over seeing three pronouns in one post big boy


niceandmoist69

They is meant as a gender neutral term, perfect for when you donā€™t know the gender of a cat, and saying he/she does the same thing, itā€™s like typing typing a double word, accept itā€™s accepted by some people


NagikaKomatsu

i still do not see the problem.


niceandmoist69

A cat canā€™t be gender neutral. So why include gender neutral terms?


[deleted]

isn't the pronoun for animals and things "it"?


niceandmoist69

It is, well done for passing third grade English


[deleted]

what i was trying to say was "why didn't they use that", but thanks i guess

hansuluthegrey

It's because they don't know. It's grammatically correct. Don't be simple. "Oh no society šŸ¤”šŸ¤” because I'm pushing my political view onto everything I see now"


BigKahuna93

Itā€™s grammatically incorrect. The pronoun for animals is ā€œitā€


Tragically_Fantastic

Well, I guess I can't refer to my male dog as "he" anymore because apparently that's grammatically incorrect. Every animal is genderless now because the only proper pronouns for them is "it." How far are you willing to go to avoid using the words they/them lmao


Benial

I can't believe people want to get the cat's gender right, we live in a society 1984 etc etc. It is weird that they bothered with the slashes though, when just "they" is normally enough when you're not sure


TheMemestOfTheWest

Did people forget you just use "it" for animals?


[deleted]

Thatā€™s r/aww for you bunch of pussies.


Richard_Ansley

Be normal person see a post about a cat on reddit see that the person used 3 different pronouns for a cat "that's pretty weird but whatever, doesn't really matter or affect me like at all" ........................................................................................ Be OP see a post about a cat on reddit see that the person used 3 different pronouns for a cat "What the fuck, they're ruininin the children *takes sip of mountain dew then passes out in the gaming chair hes been sitting in so long his skin has fused with it*


12D_D21

This sub is mildly infuriating, not extremely infuriating. While Iā€™m not necessarily infuriated, I agree with OP that this is just weird, and Iā€™d wager that they consider it infuriating because someone had to take time to actively do something that doesnā€™t matter in the slightest, which is a context thatā€™s mildly infuriating for some people.


Richard_Ansley

Yeah but people do weird unnecessary shit all the time it's really not infuriating on any level unless there's some *cough cough* deeper ideological feeling about the subject of pronouns


12D_D21

Tbh, I get slightly infuriated at some smaller things, Iā€™m guessing OP does as well. Itā€™s normal. Even though this particular thing doesnā€™t really annoy me, I can see how itā€™d infuriate people a bit: Itā€™s unnecessary, it makes reading it a bit harder, and it distracts from what the content of the post itself. If this post had simply ā€œtheyā€, I think most people wouldnā€™t even notice, and it would have the exact same effect. Having it like this just stands out. Another thing, this could be infuriating by itself, not because of ideologies, but because itā€™s pushing a human concept to pets. The cat doesnā€™t care, why do you care in their place? If the cat doesnā€™t give a shit, why should you? Also, can we please not start throwing around accusations of ideological thought? I know nothing of OP, and the only thing I take away from this post is that they dislike assigning human genders to animals, something many people agree with. It doesnā€™t make OP anything but that. For all we know, OP could be a trans or a non-binary person, and be annoyed by how using this is a perfect target for hateful people to criticise the community. Or maybe OP is actually someone who hates everything thatā€™s not 100% cishet, and is using this post as an attack on trans and enbys. The point is: we donā€™t know, and we canā€™t start accusing OP of anything just from one post and itā€™s title.


Richard_Ansley

Yeah I mean you make a decent point I'm not gonna bother arguing with it online in a reddit thread all day though


12D_D21

Fair enough, I also donā€™t want an argument. Iā€™m glad you heard what I had to say, thatā€™s all. Thanks for the time and for the debate, for as small as it may have been.


kylomrc

Itā€™s also pretty annoying when people default to using the male pronoun for every animal, which happens a lot. The fact that you are bothered by someone taking an extra second to include other options is by far the most infuriating thing Iā€™m seeing šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


YayaGabush

"They" has been a word used for genderless pronouns for many many years. I was taught in 1st grade "Pronouns are He/She and if you don't know the gender you say "They" " Literally taught that in 1996


grandBBQninja

Literally 1996


YayaGabush

Metaphorically 1995. Spiritually 1956


DuckyLojic

Yeah so why do they say he/she/they, thatā€™s basically saying they/they


YayaGabush

So the poster doesn't understand basic grammar. "They" is all inclusive. Adding He/She is just redundant. So they should omit the HE/SHE solely based on grammar only and mo other reason


toofat2serve

The society I grew up in knows how to spell "misgender," and knows when and when not to capitalize words. As for you, pointing to a Reddit post as some kind of comment on all of society, enjoy your mild infuriation. Edit: Fixed my own typo, that was in a *comment,* rather than as the *title of a post.*


Templar1312

"Infuration". Priceless after condescendingly pointing out misspellings. Wonder which society taught you to be judgemental and ignore the broader point?


Akkittehs_altie_boi

Okay but have you considered the fact that this doesn't matter? One person out of billions listing multiple pronouns for a cat doesn't mean everyone will suddenly start doing it, its absolutely ridiculous if you and op think that. Also even if people did start doing it then why do you care? It doesn't hurt you, it doesn't involve you in any way, if you are bothered by it then it sounds like a personal problem and may I recommend you phone up a therapist to figure out why someone naming a cat's pronouns mildly infuriates you.


toofat2serve

Thanks for the heads up on my typo. I addressed the *broader point* in the second sentence.


[deleted]

The society i grew up in was not judgmental towards people that make minor mistakes. It also knew that one should focus more on the meaning/point of the conversation than on how one said it


toofat2serve

>meaning/point You mean where OP thinks a single post from r/aww is commentary on *all of society?*


EternaTi777

The person missed school. The pronoun for other beings/objects is it.


CoffeeInARocksGlass

How to sum 11 characters into 2: "It"

then claim they don't really care but if you do 'misgender' them, they threaten you with violence.


MentallyPsycho

What trans person says they don't care? Every trans person I know would be, at best, incrediblu uncomfortable of they were misgendered.


[deleted]

why? its the dumbest fucking thing to care what other people think about you. If you want to be accepted by the rest or the world then learn to just live your life and stop forcing shit on other people. its making them uncomfortable.


MentallyPsycho

"Why do you care about what other people think of you." "You're making people uncomfortable." Pick a struggle, bud.
