Queen Beryl is nb ?
Wouldn’t their title be Monarch Beryl then? Also it would kinda fit in Sailor Moon since we had Uranus and Neptune being roommates together.
Yeah, I’m just assuming “Queen” is their first name since that’s how they’re referred to.
People with “Jr” in their name don’t get to make fun of other names.
Especially when their dad doesn’t even love them.
“Beryl? Even our Hurricanes are gender non-binary now.”
That’s what he said in response to the National Hurricane Center posting the latest satellite image of the storm.
It’s not nonsense. It’s a sustained attack on both people and science. This kind of message brings the science deniers and bigots closer together, helping to shore up that base and give it common ground.
It gives them a new point of focus rather than the record-breaking severity of Beryl this early in the year.
How is that sentence an attack in any way?
I kinda want to start a fake movement to rename hurricanes as “themicanes”, just to piss off dipshit goobers like this.
Why fake?
This made me chuckle. Thanks.
Related: my buddy was wearing a romphim the other day at a party. It’s like a romper but for men.
“Donald Trump Jr claims…”
Sorry, I stopped paying attention. But also, I’m not sorry.
Good, all names should be non binary.
[angry high-frequency noises]
Coercive human gender norms are to be consigned to the dustbin of history, either through progress or via the self-extinction of humanity. Whichever comes first.
Cokehead MAGAt says what?
The liberals can’t even let you fuck the hurricanes anymore.
Aren’t the names decided like decades ago?
Only for people who are decades old. For some babies, it was mere months.
The list repeats until a name is “retired,” as this one probably will be
DON’T FEED THE TROLLS
I usually say this about the comments, but this is about the article itself.
I would not say the most prominent LGBT+ news outlet is trolling. They report on bigotry. It’s part of their job.
And this guy saying he thinks Beryl is a non-binary name isn’t bigotry. Perhaps they’re targeting him for something else that he did that was bigoted? Did he do something else like that?
This is the sort of thing that a non-queer person coming from a position of privilege would say.
This shit is what the Trumps feed off of. It’s what gives them their power.
They already have power and queer people need to know when that power is wielded against them. That nonbinary people are becoming as big a target as trans people is something that people, especially nonbinary people, need to stay informed about.
How is his saying this an example of them being targeted?
You do realize he’s complaining about nonbinary people’s names, right?
A couple of things:
- I’ve only ever heard Beryl as a woman’s name, although I don’t see a problem with a man or a nonbinary person using it. It’s a bizarre claim though. It’s like saying Mary is a ‘nonbinary name.’ Technically true because Donald is also a nonbinary name for the same reason.
More importantly though…
- Hurricanes don’t have a fucking gender.
I’ve heard some of them self identify as typhoons
I see, We really should check if they see themselves as agender or nonbinary then.
Peak cokehead behavior
I never seen a hurricane with a dick or a minge, so…
And gender has nothing to do with genitals…
It’s always a little disturbing when clearly the headline must be from The Onion…but then it’s not.
