"Share your Pronouns

Pick up a pronoun sticker from registration to share your pronouns with
other conference attendees. Please be respectful of attendees’ pronouns."

https://events.linuxfoundation.org/lsfmmbpf/attend/diversity-inclusion/#onsite-resources

Anyone wearing a "pronoun sticker" needs to wear an "I'm an asshole"
sticker right above it.

It should be noted that the Linux Foundation doesn't represent Linux and
its users. It barely does anything for the operating system. Still, this
pronoun garbage is not a good look for Linux.

I disagree.

It's absurd for anyone and everyone to kowtow to the mental illness and
childish entitlement of a tiny, tiny few people. Allowing men to
compete in women's sporting events? It's actually evil.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree in this particular case. It seems
that the Foundation takes advantage of Linux's success but contributes
very little to it.

It is, and I encourage all women to refuse to compete in any event where a
deluded man is a participant. Since the courts are siding with the
homosexuals, the only thing which can potentially work is to completetly
dismantle the event itself by making it a joke without participants. The
feminists themselves are hypocrites for not protesting about this.

Possibly, but 'pronouns' and 'pronoun stickers' idiocy isn't discussed
in any of the MS events I looked at.

I actually think it's clever, to have a system by which one's pronouns
are made known, but I really would question whether it's unique to any
particular organization, in the industry.

Hey, DumFSck, what came of your prediction, made seven years ago, that
"Soon Google will replace Android"?

Idiot.

Yeah, radical leftists have embedded themselves almost everywhere.

I don't even think a lot of these men who pretend to be women are
homosexuals. They often claim to be lesbian women. In other words they're
full of crap — just gaming the moronic system.

I find it bothersome mostly because they tell us that they want to be free
to see themselves as whichever gender they have created out of the blue,
all the while removing our liberty to believe that there are only two
genders. They believe in freedom through restricting everyone else's
freedom.

I'm getting the feeling that I will eventually have to play into their
game too, and identify as something else just so that they leave me alone.
It pains me that my field, which is supposed to separate fiction from
reality and propagate truth to the young, impressionable minds, is
participating in this idiocy.
