@macchica26 @TheElliotPage I say liberals here because conservatives will refuse outright and leftists have no trouble with using they/them consistently if that's how someone identifies. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@macchica26 @TheElliotPage It would't surprise me if part of the reason @TheElliotPage is open to both he & they is that they don't realistically expect everyone (news outlets, liberals etc) to understand & use they/them consistently. Offering more options makes it easier for people not to misgender you. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@macchica26 In fact bc @TheElliotPage said "he/they" are both okay, that's the strongest evidence to me that they're non-binary. Usually (but not necessarily), ONLY non-binary people offer "they" as an option. Keep in mind if you don't know someone's pronouns you should default to they/them — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@macchica26 Actually no! Pronouns don't necessarily have to "match." I know plenty of NB people who continue to use the same pronouns they used before coming out, others who switched to they/them exclusively, & others who say any pronouns are fine, dealer's choice. It depends on the person. — PolitiTweet.org

@AnnaTarkov @AngryBlackLady @TheElliotPage That's why I tweeted, yup 💘 — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@AnnaTarkov @AngryBlackLady @TheElliotPage Plenty, thanks for asking! I've also seen some coverage saying non-binary. From what I'm seeing, the sources calling them a trans man are the more liberal mainstream ones, the sources calling them non-binary are the more progressive/leftist and LGBTQ ones, which is why I tweeted. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@AnnaTarkov @AngryBlackLady It seems clear to me from their statement, they said he/they pronouns are acceptable & that they are #trans but DIDN'T said "I'm a trans man" or "I'm a man," that they are non-binary. But yes, it's an identity, so the only person who could definitively clarify is @TheElliotPage. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@celestialEmily Non-binary is under the umbrella of trans. Unless you were assigned non-binary at birth and still identify as non-binary (very rare), ALL non-binary people are also trans. That doesn't mean they are men. They're not men nor women. They're non-binary. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@AnnaTarkov @AngryBlackLady Yup. NB is one kind of trans identity under the trans umbrella. Other identities under that umbrella include trans woman, and trans man. It is just as incorrect to call them a trans woman as it is to call them a trans man. They are neither a man nor a woman. They are non-binary. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

#ElliotPage is not a trans man. They're non-binary. They said their pronouns are either he or they—either is acceptable. A lot of NB people offer the use of multiple pronouns. Some don't even change their pronouns when they come out at all. "He" is correct, "trans man" is not. — PolitiTweet.org

PSA: "Piqued" - stimulated one's curiosity. As in, this article piqued my interest. "Peaked" - past one's prime. As in, Donald Trump peaked in high school. — PolitiTweet.org

Poor people have a right to food, water, clothes, housing, healthcare, & education. Nobody should be poor. It doesn't matter if you work, or work full time. There are more than enough resources to go around. The only reason we have poor people is that we also have billionaires. — PolitiTweet.org

@ScubAwesome If you think the difference between rich and poor is being able to buy a home, I mean..... 34 million Americans are facing eviction right now (more than 10%) from their *rentals.* You're really just proving my point. — PolitiTweet.org

@ScubAwesome If you think the difference between rich and poor is being able to buy a home, I mean..... 10 million Americans are behind on rent right now. You're really just proving my point. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@ScubAwesome 68k is median. If you're dividing into rich and poor, 50% of the population is on either side of 68k. 70k is rich. The fact that you're arguing this point demonstrates that you have never actually been poor. That's about ten times what I make. — PolitiTweet.org

Otherwise, they would never be able to sleep at night. The rest are psychopaths. I really do think that it's impossible to be ultra rich and NOT a psychopath. Only a psychopath would find no ethical problem in hoarding resources while other people are suffering. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

So many rich people ($70+k/yr) have NO IDEA how bad it is. Privilege isn't just advantages you didn't earn & don't deserve—it also creates blind spots, that's how it works. Rich people insulate themselves from ever seeing poor people's lives up close so they don't feel selfish — PolitiTweet.org

Hey @JoeBiden! Will you put your gender pronouns (he/him) in your @Twitter bio as @KamalaHarris, @ewarren, countless others & I do? It would mean a lot to #trans people. It's quick, free, and easy. #TransDayOfRemembrance #TDoR2020 #TransAwarenessWeek2020 https://t.co/z2vRBkvVsp — PolitiTweet.org

Today's the day! You can tune in at 11a Pacific / 2p Eastern. I'm speaking online for @AtheistsLA about all sorts of social justice topics, living as a #trans woman in Kentucky, #MutualAid, #COVID, #TransAwarenessWeek and I'm also doing a Q&A! Link here: https://t.co/jZCc08MCL7 — PolitiTweet.org

@blackonthejob @JoeBiden @Twitter @KamalaHarris @ewarren Thanks for asking! Introducing yourself with pronouns regardless of cis/#trans normalizes the practice. You can't tell someone's pronouns by looking at them. If only trans people do it, it forces us to out ourselves just so we're not misgendered—Allies can help by doing it too! — PolitiTweet.org
