Today, in history class I was called "ignorant" and "inconsiderate" because I referred to Stalin as a "he". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML
Today in class I accidentally called my teacher very old and almost dead. As we were discussing a book I said that the book character is very old and close to death since it fitted to the context. Turns out this character is one year younger than my teacher and she wasn't amused. FML
Today, I was teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML
Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. FML
Today, I tried to explain to my history teacher why Woodrow Wilson would not have called the Great War "World War 1" as she constantly claims. I was sent to the office for my insubordination. FML
Today, I was once again berated by an idiotic parent. I’ve been called a filthy liberal, a groomer, and had my job threatened several times. All of this because I was teaching second graders about pronouns. You know, the part of English grammar that replaces a noun. Nothing political at all. FML
Today, my teacher called me "stupid and ignorant" for referring to myself as Asian. I'm from Pakistan. Pakistan is in Asia. FML
Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML
Today, I had to explain to my teacher that Czechoslovakia is no longer a country. She kicked me out of class when she found out I was right. FML
Today, I was called to solve a problem question at the start of a lecture. I stupidly went up to the board before telling the lecturer in front of 300+ students that I had no Idea what he had been doing the whole week. The lecturer made a sneery comment about why some of us are blockheads. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is tumblr nonsense. Apparently, referring to a man as a "he" or a woman as a "she" is not only transphobic, but gender binary. You have to be willing, according to tumblr, to accept genders like mayonnaise and helicopter. Obviously, Stalin was communistkin according to the tumblr rules.

Okay, I'll bite. If Stalin wasn't a 'he' then what?

This gender/sexuality craze is getting out of control. I actually watched a video earlier this week about how hymen myths and truths and people were actually mad that they kept saying "women" instead of "people with vaginas" because it was causing gender dysphoria in trans people. For gods sake.

As a transguy, people getting offended over shit like this annoys me way more than it should. Hell, I'm just angry right now reading this. It makes it harder to be taken seriously after hearing these kind of stories. I dare to bet most transpeople wouldn't agree with them.

The only thing I wish is for people to be comfortable with their own identities and stop trying to take someone else's or trying to please everyone. It simply doesn't work. The political correctness has nearly reached its zenith.

I have a friend who is trans and just getting through her first year of living full time and I know for a fact she wouldn't get offended if you said women have vaginas. It's true. It's wildly one sided how many women have vaginas vs how many other identities have or don't have them. It's stupid to pick apart the language like that and it makes you look like a pretentious prick. And I'm pretty liberal but people have got to stop taking everything so seriously.

I think people's problems with solely associating women/men with x genitals is that it allows people to reinforce the idea that trans people are just "crazy crossdressers" and not really a man/woman because they don't have said genitalia. And there's already so little trans inclusive or specific health.

I believe trans people have validity. Anyone who says they are a different species or have the soul of another animal is just retarded. Anyone on tumblr who says kill all men or other shit like that is just retarded. It seems like the people against OP are the kind on tumblr.

I'm not sure what any of that has to do with this specific comment 149.

There's a saying "it is better to be ignorant for a moment than to be stupid for a lifetime."

You must always refer to Comrade Stalin as Comrade Stalin

Watch your pronouns. I'm Mosinkin and it's highly offensive when someone misidentifies my gender.
pandalover69 26
But Stalin was a man who identified as a man. When talking about someone else then your personal pronouns don't matter, they only matter when you're the subject. We shouldn't have to call some dead cis gendered guy by a gender neutral pronoun to make you happy.

A mosin is a bolt action rifle. I was being sarcastic, but that doesn't always come out as well as it should. Espcially over text.

Actually, Stalin was a lizard monster in human form
