"there's no such thing as ''preferred'' pronouns, there's only correct pronouns, it's not an option"

Stormfront. SJW would say using "preferred pronouns" is not a choice.

So, this is either someone who believes your pronouns should be determined only by your biological sex, and are therefore not a preference...
...or, it is someone who is trying to stir shit with people who are genuinely trying to be accommodating and polite by using the pronouns that people ask to be used. The implication here is that you do not choose your gender, whether it matches your biological sex or not, and therefore the pronouns that should be used are not actually a preference.
It could really be either, but I'm going with the second; i.e., "SJW".

I'm thinking SJW, because Stormfront wouldn't deny that preferred pronouns exist, just that they're not dumb.

I'll go with SJW trying to legitimize "preferred pronouns" into being not just a respect issue, but a legal/factual issue.
SJWs have no chill and take everything to the extreme, even when it's already extreme.

Hm. My first instinct was SJW, but I think they would be more comfortable with the idea of experimenting with several different sets of pronouns before choosing. I vote Stormfront.

Yeah, this is too easy. Definately SJW.

This one is tough. I'm going with Stormfront though. SJWs don't believe in the gender binary so they wouldn't be offended if someone started using a different pronoun.

This has to be a curveball.

Which way?
1
Stormfront. SJWs love pronouns.

It screams SJW at me. Seems to me like he is calling "pronouns" pronouns.
1
...What are they actually?
1
a word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g. I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g. she, it, this ).

I'd call those pronouns too. Does that make me a screaming SJW?

A normal human being?

I guess neither. Just someone saying that this is not a game: just gender people correctly.

"Gender" is not a verb. Just speak English correctly.

Oh, oh, I know this one. Stormfront.

Just literate, but thanks for playing.

That's not one of the options.
Seriously though, if you have a better verb to refer to what gender-related language people use to refer to a person, then suggest it. Until then, I'll use what has become the standard term.
Edit: or you can just cravenly downvote. Either way.

But misgender is term, so I don't see why gender as a verb couldn't be a back-formation.

I only guess SJW because would Stormfront care enough to talk anout pronouns?
