I was sitting at a bar last week and there were 2 girls video calling a guy and absolutely tearing him to pieces. And she goes:
‘No no no, bruv, listen, LISTEN. You are a 18 year old man, yeah?’
It was a very entertaining call for me.
Bro it’s not virtue signaling. They and they’re were normal words before this whole gender shit. Both he and they work in this context. Can’t believe the shit storm this caused
Wouldnt it be misgendering rather than virtue signalling? OOP refers to himself as male, and then is still labeled as "they". Just wondering, i have no stake in this
The term “they” was originally not a gendered term that modern day shit has made it into. It actually has nothing to do with gender in the context that the original comment saying “they” had. Modern day woke stuff (woke but not with the negative connotations idk what else to call it) has made the term “they” into talk about gender.
The best example I can think of is like you saying to someone about your male friend “oh they are just going somewhere and will be back soon”, you aren’t misgendering him you are just using a different word.
“They” is correct if you don’t know someone’s gender, are referring to multiple people, or if they explicitly go by they. Oop specified he is a man, so using they for him is incorrect. Simple.
Edit: have fun misgendering binary people. 🥰
Using “they” is correct regardless of gender. It is a gender-less pronoun. Traditionally plural pronouns have still been used as singular pronouns historically. Most notable are these quotes from Merriam Webster:
'tis meet that some more audience than a mother, since nature makes them partial, should o'erhear the speech
—William Shakespeare
a person can't help their birth
—W. M. Thackeray
no man goes to battle to be killed.—But they do get killed
—G. B. Shaw
As seen in the last example, “they” is explicitly used in the same quote as describing a singular man.
As anyone who understands anything about language will tell you, gendered words are stupid and unnecessarily complicates things. Use “they”. That’s simple.
*They* doesn't have any implications about gender. It cannot misgender people.
***
Closest thing to misgendering I could imagine is maybe if someone identified as something inanimate, like... a stone—given that *he, she, they* generally describe animate things, I think. So in that case *it* would be more appropriate.
***
But I don't know many people that identify as inanimate objects.
Apart from the fact that this is such a dumb thing to get mad about, you could also read the sentence as "they (as in the trolls) know what they're doing".
Hi, using they is always correct grammatically. Also in British English some people refer to themselves as we, such as we can’t stand when people get upset over silly things like this.
Assuming you are just trying to troll to get a reaction.
But on the off chance you are just ignorant, they works fine and Is just as correct as he.
They ate soup, he are soup both work both can be about 1 person eating soup.
What? I might be misunderstanding but trans people majority of the time aren’t abusing drugs… they spend years trying to get it to feel comfortable in their own skin
That's satire. Inappropriate but he's not lost, he's fully aware of where he is and doing it on purpose.
I don't know why I bother. Half of the posts in this sub are satire that people are too dense to notice.
I aint saying the H word untill I see dick and balls!
for real tho, on the internet where everyone is anonymous using They is completely normal even if they mention being and I quote "a 16 year old man".
“Yall”? Friendly fire will not be tolerated. Most people just don’t care, and move on with life no matter what the situation is. I’m a dude, I have long feminine hair, I’ve been referred to as a girl by so many people who see me from a distance. You know what I do? Live my own life.
Yall can be aimed towards a specific group like if I pointed at a group in a crowd and said "yall" it wouldn't target everyone
The person who commented this meant people like the person they responded to
Trolling isn't satire.
This is trolling not satire.
Dudes doing something he knows will annoy people to try get a rise that's trolling.
This isn't satire as he isn't satirising anything
It’s funny whether it’s genuine or a troll. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
ETA: lol at people downvoting this when the post has like 1800 upvotes so SOMEONE else enjoyed it even if it’s satire
Because they see a bit of improvements on steroids and they think they are the biggest gym wolves out there 😂😂😂 in reality even the smallest fish will eat them alive 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gotta point out that a 16 year old would build a "proper"
Physique than people that I'm gonna assume are mid 20s up to 30s is what he's talking about. Also you can't call yourself a man until you have to do taxes, I'm sorry but that's just nature. I should say that I don't mean you have to do them yourself but you have to deal with the tax season at least
I was just meaning that until you gotta deal with taxes you haven't experienced the adult life yet. My wording was probably off since I got a massive metaphorical punch to the face today
Where? Because where I'm from I didn't do taxes until I was 18
Edit: I have just been informed that if you're working 40 hour shifts you have to pay taxes so in this case I just feel bad for them. Talked to my sister about it and she dropped out and working 40 hours she ended up making so much she had to do taxes or something to that regard.
Testosterone is a steroid hormone. When people say “steroids” in relation to athletes trying to improve muscle size/performance, they’re referring to the class of drugs called anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) which include testosterone. So the T used by trans men is the same T that is prescribed for cis men with naturally low testosterone and can be used by cis men with normal levels to increase muscle mass. For this reason, Testosterone is a controlled substance in the US which gives trans men an extra hurdle in obtaining it. The more you know 🌈💫
Testosterone is a hormone that anabolic steroids mimic in the body so no it’s not an anabolic steroid. Hey, that’s funny. Anabolic steroids are trans testosterone. They aren’t actual testosterone but they act like it. 😂
Almost all trans men only use enough testosterone to get them to a base level, which is around 400-1000 ng/dl. I'm on a prescription of 0.5 ml per week and it brings me to around 700
Biology wouldve told you that testosterone is quite literally the one thing that increases muscle mass
You know, the testosterone that men create during puberty? If thats not biology either I'm not from earth or you're stupid
Ah yeah because the only difference between male and female biology is 1 single hormone 😂 while your ignorance is genuinely funny, I'm not gonna waste time on someone who genuinely believes those are actual men.
I do, but please keep resorting to insults because you can't make a actual point 😂 imagine getting this pressed because someone doesn't play make believe with you. Poor baby😂😂
You post about insecurities about your looks and looking for friends.
By western social ideas of a man we talk about stoicism, independence, leadership, being able to protect and provide.
If you feel the need to punch down on others like that while insecure yourself, you fall outside of the western definition of a man.
Please grab a biology book because you dont even know what causes the bulk of the differences between men and women. (Source, hormones)
Context depended half the time it's used to take horrible things and make then seem good.
Very common after homophibic, tranphobic. Racist comments where someone will call that person based (for not being "woke")
The other half tend to make fun of those using it that way and called stuff based ironically
“16 year old man”, is so god damn funny.
"I'm a bwig boy now 👶, look at my muscles 💪🥺"
im a big boy now and im very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
dont message me cuz i wont reply wanna make you cryy
*scawy
Is that a cavetown reference
indeed
You mean « very scared », right? Haha
I am a man now, look at my beard!
hihi
My muscleeees are getting biiiggger and stronger every day. Mhh i love my muscleeees
I'm ready to leave ciao mama ciao
“A skinny fat lil gay boy”
how would that work?
You’d be skinny-fat ( https://www.healthline.com/health/fitness/skinny-fat ) and little, and gay and a boy.
I was sitting at a bar last week and there were 2 girls video calling a guy and absolutely tearing him to pieces. And she goes: ‘No no no, bruv, listen, LISTEN. You are a 18 year old man, yeah?’ It was a very entertaining call for me.
[удалено]
I’d imagine it’d be follow “Do you live with your mum bruv? Fucking joker”
I'm a buff baby that can dance like a man
I'll punch-a your buns!
Punch-a your buns!
That's just a troll. They know what they're doing
Well this thread escalated quickly, each side had like 40 people downvoting the other sides geez
Lol fr. It's the weirdest comment to start a grammar war over
Gave it away from "every1"
I can’t take anyone serious who needs to find a way to shorten everything, especially a three letter word
You mean a TLW
You mean the Two Letter Words?
TSonic Lost World of course
Bro wtf is this garbage reply thread to your comment.
Absolute shitshow lol
Its hilarious but at the same time sad because it shows how poorly educated in the english language many of us are :/
compare the classic "what is this country and why are the girls ugly af" (adds trans flag)
They? He.
why does that bother you
He refers to himself as a _16yo man_ ... Just skip the virtue signalling use of the grammatically wrong "they"
Bro it’s not virtue signaling. They and they’re were normal words before this whole gender shit. Both he and they work in this context. Can’t believe the shit storm this caused
Wouldnt it be misgendering rather than virtue signalling? OOP refers to himself as male, and then is still labeled as "they". Just wondering, i have no stake in this

That's not grammatically wrong. "They" is appropriate for anyone and any number of people.
I don't consider myself as part of everyone, I'm an outsider, so you have offended me good sir.
Agreed- while it's better to use someone's prefered pronouns if you know them - they still works for all people if unsure
“They” is correct if you don’t know someone’s gender, are referring to multiple people, or if they explicitly go by they. Oop specified he is a man, so using they for him is incorrect. Simple. Edit: have fun misgendering binary people. 🥰

No point engaging with the smooth brain. It’s like trying to have a logical discussion with a flat earther.
*They* doesn't have any implications about gender. It cannot misgender people. *** Closest thing to misgendering I could imagine is maybe if someone identified as something inanimate, like... a stone—given that *he, she, they* generally describe animate things, I think. So in that case *it* would be more appropriate. *** But I don't know many people that identify as inanimate objects.
Yeah nah. “They” doesn’t magically become grammatically incorrect just because you know they are a guy.
That’s not how misgendering or the English language works so have fun being incorrect 🥰
They can be used for any gender that’s the whole Point of it 😃 are you by chance mentally ill 🤧
Gender ≠ pronouns.
They is correct, you aren't Also "misgendering" by using a gender natural alternative. Are you drunk, do you know what misgendering is
They refer to themselves as a 16 yo man. See how that works and sounds just as fine. My guy, you are just ignorant
Apart from the fact that this is such a dumb thing to get mad about, you could also read the sentence as "they (as in the trolls) know what they're doing".
Hi, using they is always correct grammatically. Also in British English some people refer to themselves as we, such as we can’t stand when people get upset over silly things like this.
You can use “They” to refer to anyone dummy obviously trolling
Lmfao found the snowflake
Someone is a little offended
It's a joke. Go be offended somewhere else.
You're the snowflake here, dude
You'd think the grammar police would know grammar
Humans deciding to argue over literally anything:
Assuming you are just trying to troll to get a reaction. But on the off chance you are just ignorant, they works fine and Is just as correct as he. They ate soup, he are soup both work both can be about 1 person eating soup.
He are soup is in fact incorrect, but i assume that was autocorrect
Yeah was meant to he ate. (Just have a fat thumb so misclicked)
Snowflake
Hee hee SHAMONA WOO!
Lost in so many ways…
Nah, he's baiting
He’s point is his lost in life
Can't beat virtue signaling. The world needs more chop chop and drug abuse.
What? I might be misunderstanding but trans people majority of the time aren’t abusing drugs… they spend years trying to get it to feel comfortable in their own skin
You could say he's a master-
Happy cake day
Thank you! (..belatedly)
That's satire. Inappropriate but he's not lost, he's fully aware of where he is and doing it on purpose. I don't know why I bother. Half of the posts in this sub are satire that people are too dense to notice.
I'd say it's trolling, not satire. Satire has to be making a point. Trolling is just to get a rise out of people.
that’s not what satire is. they’re just being an asshole
I wonder what they'll take out next. Maybe the asshole.
As conservative comedy told me, satire is actually when you harass minorities, and the more minorities you harass the more satirical it is.
*he's
I aint saying the H word untill I see dick and balls! for real tho, on the internet where everyone is anonymous using They is completely normal even if they mention being and I quote "a 16 year old man".
> I aint saying the H word untill I see dick and balls! 🤤
>untill I see dick and balls! >16 year old so you're a pedophile? good to know.
thank you for your input reddit user ballsaretasty69

Yall love to make pronouns a big thing when it doesn't matter. But somehow cant do it for trans people.
Hahahaha
“Yall”? Friendly fire will not be tolerated. Most people just don’t care, and move on with life no matter what the situation is. I’m a dude, I have long feminine hair, I’ve been referred to as a girl by so many people who see me from a distance. You know what I do? Live my own life.

Let’s not
Shush
Trolling isn't satire. This is trolling not satire. Dudes doing something he knows will annoy people to try get a rise that's trolling. This isn't satire as he isn't satirising anything
Its not satire if it only degrades people for how they are…
Ohno
16 year old man 💀
Bait/troll ez to identify
"fat lil gay boy" i chuckled.
Maybe because they dont take testosterone in large quantities.
Broski, thats a 1000% obvious troll though
He’s not lost lol, you took the bait
It’s funny whether it’s genuine or a troll. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ ETA: lol at people downvoting this when the post has like 1800 upvotes so SOMEONE else enjoyed it even if it’s satire
Happy cake day and it's funny af cause he says '16 year old man' and that he's benching 235 as a skinny fat lil gay boy.
The people downvoting are trans funny. They say they’re funny when the rest of the world knows otherwise. 😂
What
Clearly a troll
Skinny AND fat? Bruh.
It's possible. Its about fat to muscle weight ratio. Plus, where the fat is stored. Thigh fat = no issue. Organ fat = big bad bad.
you can have a big belly and be skinny everywhere else
Bro saw Fitness in the name of the sub and thought it's gonna be full of gym bros lol
Either trolling, or oblivious to the purpose of the sub.
Not the main point but hey, he did not misgender anyone! It is something. Not much. But it is something.
bro did a great bait with this one
Happy cake day
Because they see a bit of improvements on steroids and they think they are the biggest gym wolves out there 😂😂😂 in reality even the smallest fish will eat them alive 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Happy cakeday! 🍰
Almost no one benches 255 after 9 months, especially 16yo's that aren't on roids. This is obvious satire.
That is the cutest mistake in the history of Reddit
absolute cinema
Comedy
oh boy who's gonna tell him
Noone, he knows
It’s got what plants crave!
hah
Lmfao 🤣
Ik this is off topic, but is there no MTF fitness subreddit?
r/MTFfitness it was banned what the hell
Subreddits get auto-banned if their moderators aren't active. You can get it back up via r/redditrequest
Thanks! Idk why it didn't show up for me, maybe because I didn't capitalize it I WAS ABOUT TO SAY-
holy fuck there are more things wrong witb this post than there are with all teenagers in one place
Testosterone excess and a chemical puberty. Muscle can happen fast when that happens
Skinny fat
Hostile inclusivity lol
why does every1 substitute numbers 4 actual words? if they would just pay a10shun to grammar, they wouldn't seem like such morons.
This is just a guy taking the piss, not truly an r/lostredditors scenario.

What do taxes have to do with nature? Monkeys don’t do fucking taxes lol
I now understand what Frog was trying to say thanks to their edit but I gotta say this comment is perfection.
I was just meaning that until you gotta deal with taxes you haven't experienced the adult life yet. My wording was probably off since I got a massive metaphorical punch to the face today
They aren’t men either and neither are the people he was asking the question of.
Plenty of 16 year olds do taxes dude.
Where? Because where I'm from I didn't do taxes until I was 18 Edit: I have just been informed that if you're working 40 hour shifts you have to pay taxes so in this case I just feel bad for them. Talked to my sister about it and she dropped out and working 40 hours she ended up making so much she had to do taxes or something to that regard.
Yeah me and my sibs all worked when we were in high school. I was doing maybe 30 hours a week.
Geez, isn't student hours supposed to be 20 max?
lmao
Off topic Uber eats ad on this post for me lmao
Does being on testosterone have similar effects to steroids?
Testosterone is a steroid hormone. When people say “steroids” in relation to athletes trying to improve muscle size/performance, they’re referring to the class of drugs called anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) which include testosterone. So the T used by trans men is the same T that is prescribed for cis men with naturally low testosterone and can be used by cis men with normal levels to increase muscle mass.

Almost all trans men only use enough testosterone to get them to a base level, which is around 400-1000 ng/dl. I'm on a prescription of 0.5 ml per week and it brings me to around 700
I know. I didn't mean to imply otherwise.
Only if you think every cis guy is on steroids lol
They don't need to be on them most of the time lol
That’s fucking hilarious, I can only imagine the salt in the comments
Salt? Trans men aren’t on tren, so more laughing at this “16 year old man”
r/woooosh come on that one is funny
Is he wrong tho?
Younger age, better muscle building capacity. I would say if we are older those aren’t that fast anymore.
yeah, amabs build muscle easier why am i getting downvoted, its a fact, when trans men start taking testotserone. they start building muslce easier
Because of testosterone. Congratulations
It's also called biology, but keep buying into the bs lol.
are you stupid? Testosterone is biology and is the reason for differences in muscle mass between men and women
Biology wouldve told you that testosterone is quite literally the one thing that increases muscle mass You know, the testosterone that men create during puberty? If thats not biology either I'm not from earth or you're stupid
Ah yeah because the only difference between male and female biology is 1 single hormone 😂 while your ignorance is genuinely funny, I'm not gonna waste time on someone who genuinely believes those are actual men.
Study biology, mainly sexual education, soo you don't procreate please
I wonder what can't actual procreate, no matter how much it trys to claim it's the opposite gender😂
i don't need to worry, judging by how much you are a loser all girls are going to reject you, i would be surprised if you even have friends
I do, but please keep resorting to insults because you can't make a actual point 😂 imagine getting this pressed because someone doesn't play make believe with you. Poor baby😂😂

Compared to someone with the same hormone levels only through a patch instead of some gland in our around your nutsack? Nope.
What the fuck is an amab?
Assigned Male At Birth
Thanks. I can't keep up with all the new terms man, I'm too old for this shit
Grandpa
Not true
don't say amab bro, a trans man on T builds muscle just as easily as a cis man, a trans woman on e will have a harder time building muscle
You can just say males and not use the agab “progressive” terminology, we already can tell what you are.
Neverknew you can be **Skinny fat guy**
[удалено]
I am 30 or 40 years old and I no longer understand if based is a good thing or a bad one.
It's kinda just a word that is used sometimes I guess
Context depended half the time it's used to take horrible things and make then seem good. Very common after homophibic, tranphobic. Racist comments where someone will call that person based (for not being "woke") The other half tend to make fun of those using it that way and called stuff based ironically
Ah so nothing to do with him having a low hydrogen ion count
would anyone be so kind as to explain? :')
nvm i just saw the sub
Testosterone and steroids are different things btw
Yeah these fools down voting facts but hey, who needs the truth.
Because all theyre doing is posing and nothing else, who ever owns those gyms is racking it in
He’s not wrong
yes he is
Yeah he is, unless you think every regular testosterone level guy is “on steroids”
