Calm down Karen, I'm making your point for youFFS, It's got to be investigated first.
thought that might drag out a reaction from the gatekeepers..it really isnt that difficult to understand surely ?Wait... which other realms are there?
You haven’t got a leg to stand on with this subject.Is your real name "Dan"?
Did Laidley legally change his first name through BDM?
If he hasn't then those who are referring to the name 'Dean' (the very person who has had that name for the vast majority of their life so far) are morally sound.
The rest of you that keep trying to force corrections can swing the sjw flag elsewhere.
I have a rule of thumb when reading posts: if someone uses “FACT” without any irony, their ideas are usually ill-informed and wrong.
Thanks for reaffirming this for me.
How hard is it to write Dani? It’s just courtesy.My opinion is Dean or Dani is fine if you are actually just having a proper discussion about the topic…but if you’re here to just troll and mock then you can leave.
This isn’t a thread about sexuality or people thoughts on how anyone should dress and what gender anyone has to be. It’s really no one business.
Haha what an embarrassing and weird post. Does it really offend you that her name is Dani? That she is a woman and just wants to live her life? Must be tough living in the 21st century where people can be themselves and (most) other ‘morally sound’ people respect that.Did Laidley legally change his first name through BDM?

It’s not hard for me at all, ‘Dean‘ slips out sometimes and I don’t beat myself up over it….I guarantee it happened to her 100 times at the club and she laughed and said ‘all good mate, it will come naturally in time’How hard is it to write Dani? It’s just courtesy.

This is different to just a preferred name. It’s a woman’s name that comes with female pronouns. It’s not that it’s hard, it’s just that for some people to use the language which is demanded is to express views they don’t possess.Post intolerant content - check
Complains about sjw - check
Some mention of morals - check
You win grumpy boomer bingo!
Seriously if someone wishes to be referred to by a certain name, is it that hard to respect their wishes? If anyone in your life has a preferred name do you use their official name instead to be a hero?
Good one.Oh there's certainly a view being expressed. Or rather, a knowledge gap.

I have seen people being very understanding of others getting used to their new identity.there's passive sorta 'you have to submit to referring to this person my/our way' and if you don't you're a bigot or spreading hate speech.
Cool, I don’t think people refusing to comply with the language being demanded would pretend like it doesn’t matter. If it didn’t matter to them, they would just comply without a second thought.I have seen people being very understanding of others getting used to their new identity.
But there are also plenty of people who flatly refuse to use the new name, pretending like it doesn't matter.
There's a great comedy bit with the comedian starting to introduce their bigoted cousin as a paedophile to prove words really do matter.
I can hear QWait... which other realms are there?
I’m not enabling you, what I’m saying is that it was Dean Laidley who was arrested so there is some understanding in that context, but if you are digging your heels in and citing your expert thoughts on human biology as a reason to dismiss her transition then you’re just being obnoxious.No.
I'm just more custom to the previous name and the person in question being a man.
Change you're name, gender etc whatever....like wosh said it takes time to adjust.
The issue I really have is that some will stick to biology in how they view people. Each to their own but there is this passive sorta 'you have to submit to referring to this person my/our way' and if you don't you're a bigot or spreading hate speech.
I'm little bit more progressive than having all the eggs in the biology basket but some people (including me to an extent) view matters like this in the simplest of terms. ie- A man is a man & A women is a women.I’m not enabling you, what I’m saying is that it was Dean Laidley who was arrested so there is some understanding in that context, but if you are digging your heels in and citing your expert thoughts on human biology as a reason to dismiss her transition then you’re just being obnoxious.
She is Dani Laidley now, wont kill you to accept it.
You can't be a man for most of your life, get married, have children and then at 50 make the most drastic of changes a person can do. Now everyone has to conform to that persons gender pronouns and you even got others trying to enforce it in this thread.
Good on Laidley for sorting her sh*t out.
My question though, do we have to refer to her past as Dean with the female pronoun, or is it still onto refer to that time as him? Do we refer to her past as Dean, or is it re-written as dani?
He/him on account of being maleGood question, I do not know the protocol for that. Anyone know?
If you get a PhD it is your title, not your identity. Your former life could be spoken about without complication. Whether Dr is included or not, everyone knows what you’re talking about.Er, why not?
If I get a PhD people can start calling me Dr all of a sudden despite a lifetime of having Mr for a title.
Easy change, costs you nothing.
