That would be the majority, and they’re not getting upset. They’re just choosing to use the language they want to use rather than letting others force them to use it.
Nah. They’re allowed to use whatever language they want.
If you have a problem with that, then you’re the one doing the ‘forcing.’
Something tells me you think “pregnant person” is okay but “pregnant woman” is not. I, personally, don’t really care and think they can use whatever language they want.
Amd now it becomes clear that “choice” isn’t what you actually care about.
Is it clear that I care about choice, now? What about you?
So what? Doesn’t affect you in any way to treat others with respect. If you do not call someone what they ask to be called, that is disrespectful.
You don’t have to do it, either. It’s not against the law. But nobody has to employ you, or invite you to fun things, or let you converse with the adults when it’s time to make decisions, or stay married to you.
Either way, insofar as it’s also a matter your beliefs, that really just means it’s about your emotional reaction. That makes sense but you have to know it’s not rational.
What do you mean? That he purposefully tried to conflate Arkansas government with US government?
No, he’s just bad at arguing and expects other people to go along with it.
The majority of people in Arkansas support this. Saying that the majority of people in the US disagree doesn’t matter because this policy doesn’t apply to people outside of Arkansas.

None of your problems in life are the result of a person you know (or even a person you don’t know) wanting to be referred to as ‘they.’
NONE.
Okay.
I believe you have “who is doing the forcing” backwards here.

How about you just have respect for people other than yourself and call others how they ask to be called?
Because not everyone believes that men and women should be referred to by whatever pronouns they choose.
Because some people are disrespectful assholes?
I think it’s more beliefs and culture.

“In official government documents, the following exclusionary and sexist terms shall be replaced with accurate, female-affirming alternatives"
Isn’t this a small vocal minority forcing people to use gendered language even if they don’t want to use it?
Looks like the majority forcing a minority to use gendered language even though they don’t want to.
Was this passed by referendum?
No, but I think it would have.
The majority of people in Arkansas supports policies like this.
That’s nice that you can speculate but it does not really mean much.

I think you are expecting too much from him.
What do you mean? Did Republicans lose the popular vote in the last 8 Arkansas elections? What elections are you talking about, specifically?

You all know this, you’re just upset at reality.
