        You realize the downvotes came from your comments and not the post itself right?

        You made the shittiest attack helicopter joke I’ve seen in a while

        Also it literally goes against this community rules and the instance as a whole, wonder why you are still allowed to post.

        Go join truth social or some other alt right fork instead of waisting everyone’s time

        I know, why didn’t the beehaw mods consult you before they decided their names?! How selfish of them!

        They have their pronouns in their names so you know whether they prefer if you refer to them as he, she, they, or whatever else.

        It’s not even an LGBTQ only thing. I’m a cis male with a non English name. I’ve been referred to as “she” many times in emails and other text based communication because people don’t know if my name is female or male and that’s all the information about me that they have. In places where I can put my pronouns in my profile, there is no longer any confusion.
