The biggest offense here is calling something without sleeves a jacket

Call him "ma'am" and see how upset he gets when you misgender him

The shirt is using an aggressive tone, which is inferring the person wearing is someone who would complain about "those damn libs and their pronouns."

But even with the aggressive tone, the shirt is letting us know that which pronouns he uses.

Thats a lot of words just to say "I'm a dumbass"

If homosexual people have rights to publicly say that they're 'homosexual' then why not him.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

He has the right.

And everyone else has the right to laugh at his insecurity.

As if the truck nuts weren't a clue.

As a man, I have never been "proud" to be a man, I mostly feel ambivalent about it, it is who I am, I'd rather be proud about my actions than my gender.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Same. I'm no more proud of being a man than I am proud of having a nose.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

But what a fine nose it is.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

I worked hard to achieve my nose as it is today.

In case you get any odd responses, while many people use ambivalent to mean they don't care, it actually means you have contradictory feelings, i e., you are both for and against something.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 hour ago

Which is true, there are parts I like about being a man, and there are parts I dislike about being a man.

In general I am comfortable

[–] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

This. I think it's kinda ridiculous to be proud of something you haven't done anything for. I'll much rather be proud of the thing I did than about shit like where I'm born or as what I'm born.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 45 minutes ago

The only time I would say that doesn't apply is when you're part of a traditionally marginalized group. Black pride, or queer pride or indigenous pride all make sense to me. Because it's a collective pride thing more than an individual pride thing.

I will make no secret about how I don't really understand transgender people, it used to annoy me, but since about a year or two ago I realized that it doesn't matter to me, and it apparently matters a lot to them.

So I stopped caring enough to be annoyed, I realized that if they are happy and it doesn't hurt others, then I have no reason to make their day worse.

To all trans people, I may not understand what you feel, but I will not be a dick about it, my confusion is my own issue and I will do my best to not make it yours.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 43 minutes ago (1 children)

I wish more people were okay with not understanding other people or what they do to express themselves and their identity, but accepting them regardless, so you have my commendations.

People way into body piercing confuse me, but if that's your thing, go for it. As long as you are doing what makes you comfortable in your own body, that's the important part.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 15 minutes ago

Thank you, you are very kind, I try to be a decent person

[–] peetabix@lemmy.world 48 points 7 hours ago

He's proud fucking men. Good for him.

Some people would have just cut their hair to give the societal cue about their gender, but I give this guy credit for making a special pronoun vest instead of conforming.

(Not only) Metalheads will give you a weird look for such statements.
