I went to the zdoom forums to read their id24 thread and noticed people putting their preferred pronouns in their posts and it made me lol. I'm just a regular male with XY sex chromosomes. Has anyone encountered one of these pronoun people in real life? I haven't. I'm not even sure if I've met a gay person in real life (I did see one in downtown Toronto one day, after I overheard him speak). I went to three different high-schools in the '90s and literally nobody was openly gay. There were two or three guys total who I assumed could be gay. One of those guys ended up being in the same ballet class as my girlfriend and I remember going to one of her recitals with her family. At the end of the recital everyone was waiting down by the changing room for the girls to come out and out comes Billy. He probably got a better look at my girlfriend at that point than I did lol.

I've met plenty but I'm a lot younger than you.
A good childhood friend of mine came out as gay and subsequently became one of those REALLY faggy gays. Does light makeup, wears silly clothes, goes on drag shows, listens to Lady Gagavolunteers at Pride. I even went to pride in 2022 just to see him. I mean I don't really like that gay shit that much but it's my homie.
As for pronoun people I met two "nonbinary" girls but both let me call them he or she, so it's whatever

Known plenty of gay dudes, lots of bi chicks and a handful of trans people. Never met a pronoun person. All the trans people I've know irl have been fully accepting of the gender they actually are. One is a childhood friend and it wasn't surprising. He was always a bit femme but it's not the sort of thing you think about as a little kid. Relatively normal people for the most part. I'm in my mid 40s and I've only encountered the pronoun cult online.

Never in the wild. Always online.
I was in Boise recently to see Dweezil Zappa (amazing concert btw) and there were many 'hip' bars and coffee shops there hanging those multi-colored alphabet people propaganda cloths on the walls. Probably could have met them there but luckily no.
In the professional world there were people, mostly women, putting pronouns in their emails and also on LinkedIn. People have started removing pronouns from these places but no one forgets who had them in their email or on zoom calls. Some people would get very angry at us for using silly ones like 'attack/helicopter' a while back but it never went anywhere with management.
Edit: I never go to Austin anymore (because it is no longer weird) but I would bet I could find these people there if I tried.

My religion forbids me from associating with sodomites.
That said, I think I saw some in my country (Kazakhstan) - a lesbian couple and a group of athletes. In the case of sodomite athletes - they were in the same track and field organisation as I am. At that point, I only switched from triathlon half a year ago (relative to 2023). I won't go into much detail, but I found out seven of those guys have made a little gay ring, where the six of them jack off into a jar, and the seventh guy drinks it, in his words "to substitute protein shakes. Because it's cheap and natural". After learning that, I contemplated what to do for one day, went to one more training session, and then left the organisation altogether one more day after.
Moral of the story - third world athletes are gay as shit.

The city I live near is absolutely chock full of homosexuals. Everything is adorned in rainbow flags and also those weird pink/blue striped flags that refer to trans/gender-fluid/non-binary/whatever else. I've met so many gays it's not even funny. Been hit on by them countless times, especially when I used to work security at bars. Plenty of trans people also. There's one club that used to be a fairly cool goth/industrial spot, but after about 5-6 years slowly went downhill after changing management, mostly due to the manager enlisting her husband full-time as the DJ (he is a terrible DJ). Now it's basically become an LGBTQ bar (which saved the club from going under), and you can walk in on any given weekend night and there will without a doubt be at least two trans people, though probably more, and that's on a slow night. They have yearly popularity pageants and a trans person won the pageant one year (probably more than one year, but I wouldn't know since I never go anymore). I haven't been there in quite a while, but it's still funny to browse their official pictures online. Everyone there looks exactly the way you would envision them to look.
