"i don't have pronouns" or "don't call me cis" have real "axle differental? my car doesn't have that" vibes

@mavica_again axle differential? no thank you, i never need to turn my car

@00dani @mavica_again what's an axle differential? Also can you not have pronoun? I mean it's like not you to decide but people referring to you in a sentence

@goodvibes @mavica_again the axle differential is a component that allows the wheels on the same axle to rotate at different speeds! it's necessary when you take a turn, since the wheel on the inside of the turn is gonna be traveling a shorter distance than the wheel on the outside of the turn

if you literally never turn your vehicle then you do not need a differential

and yeah, it's technically possible to not have pronouns: some trans folk prefer that their names always be used in sentences, rather than a pronoun?

however the op was not talking about that, but rather the trend of cis people insisting they don't have pronouns because they think only trans people use pronouns, and presumably do not know what a pronoun actually is

@00dani @mavica_again Thank you. I'm still a bit confused about this non pronoun idea. Trans or not it's something quite weird to request it seems.

@00dani @mavica_again cis people requesting no pronoun because only trans would use them, this is a joke?

@goodvibes @mavica_again no no, it's not a joke, it's reactionary. cis people insist they don't have pronouns because they know trans people use them and don't like trans people. i would assume they don't really know what "pronouns" are, just that trans people happen to talk about them?

@00dani @mavica_again but it's extremely stupid!
Like saying Trans people talk about hormones so I don't need hormones

@goodvibes @mavica_again yes, it's exactly like that! and it's nonsense!! cis people are often very silly
