🐱 the birth of the gender-neutral ‘theyby’

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/apr/26/steven-pooles-word-of-the-week


Babies are so passe, even royal ones. The hip new thing to have is a “theyby”, according to a trend spotted by New York magazine that sees parents bringing up their offspring in a gender-neutral fashion.

There was of course nothing gender-specific about the “ba-“ part of “baby”, which is already a diminutive form of the original English word “babe”. The Oxford English Dictionary says that its origin is probably onomatopoeic – two syllables of “ba”, which is a typical “early infantile vocalisation”. So while a baby can call itself a baba, even if by accident, it will take much longer to pronounce itself a “theyby”.

So “theyby” here points to the desired attitude of others, rather than removing any bias from the traditional description of the object in question.
It is often unimportant whether such bias really existed anyway: replacing “mankind” with “humankind” hurts no one.)

Meanwhile, the possibilities for today’s theybies seem endless. If they need looking after they can go to theycare. In time they will even eat gender-neutral smoked-pork slices (theycon) on a Saturday morning while reading a language column in a theyper.

Imagine a baby's first words being their preferred pronouns

Maybe it's about time to for these parents to get a theybortion.

 

[Splendid]

Imagine a baby's first words being their preferred pronouns

Imagine those two words being attack helicopter.

 

[OpenBASED]

But babbies tend to naturally gravitate towards behaviour that is considered "gendered" and it's not a societal construct.
But of course, letting kids be kids is CHILD ABUSE now.i

Imagine those two words being attack helicopter.

Now that's a pronoun that I approve of.

 

[Mimic]

What the fuck I love abortion now.

Seriously though, isn't this the exact same shit they cried about before? "How dare you assume this child's going to be a boy or lady killer! Or a pretty princess girl!"

Now they're assuming it's gonna be some nonbinary human blob.

This generation that millennials are raising is going to be the most fragile and mentally ill set of people we've ever seen, isn't it?

The opposite, in fact, when rebelling against your parents will mean calling yourself by your biological gender and using non-made up pronouns, being 100% heterosexual and proud of it, and wanting to make something of yourself other than being a victim.

 

[Snuckening]

(Kind of a tangent, and possibly pretty autistic, but anyway...) The quiet, deliberate replacement of "sex" with "gender" in popular language is sinister as fuck. 15 or 20 years ago everyone, even the most liberal, progressive types only talked in terms of "'sex". Even troons has "SEX changes" not "GENDER change" operations, and feminists talked about "sexism" not "genderism". "Gender" just wasn't part of everyday language, even on the far left or in LGBT circles.

But once you throw out the objectively defined "sex" for the subjective "gender", all kinds of retardation like this "theyby' shit is on the table. All this "76 gender" shit, or "Assigned Male at Birth" (both the comic and the terrifyingly science/reality-defying idea) would be impossible to even argue for if people still thought in terms of "sex" like we did a decade or two back. But now even conservatives and "anti-SJWs" talk about "gender" instead of "sex". "Gender" has been successfully Trojan Horsed into people's heads without 99.99% of people even noticing.

[And this isn't even an anti-trans thing- I have no issue with legit trans people who want to live as the opposite sex. Shit, I have no real issue if someone wants to get around in a full beard, a tutu and heels (well, tbh I might snigger a bit); Do/dress/live how you want. I just hate the way objective, biological reality is being eroded from under my feet by a tiny group of people pushing some weird ideological agenda]

Au contraire, Mr. Devito, Gen Z will be just fine. Just the other day, some bitch was called out for wearing a qiapo for prom, and Gen Z defended her all the way through. They are not listening to SJWs. They are listening to H3H3, a liberal that made that whole case break out in the first place. They do not see this as "politics", they see it for what it is: bullshit. The only ones pushing social justice talking points are millennials. But they are not as popular as politically indifferent, but honest people like H3H3 that, alongside faggots like Sargon of Akkad, have made SJW millenials the laughingstock they are. They are not listening to humiliated clowns, they are listening to the people and the viewpoints on top.

Why do you think Trump was elected? Motherfucker's character was assassinated several times by those in power. But SJWs are so vehemently hated and laughed at, that the normal person didn't want (((their girl))) solely because she was associated with the social justice movement. People are learning that SJWs are not normal, and those people are going to teach Gen Z that they are not normal. So, they'll be okay.

In all fairness, I don't think Gen Z is of voting age yet.

But once you throw out the objectively defined "sex" for the subjective "gender", all kinds of exceptionalism like this "theyby' shit is on the table.

It's a bit like the post-modernization of sex and sexuality, isn't it?

 

[sperginity]

It's like announcing your intention to troon out your kids as soon as possible, these people disgust me.

 

[Diabeetus]

But they're going to be. The oldest Gen Z kids are like 17 years old. That's only one year from the legal age to vote, that ain't long. They're being taught now that SJWs are bad, so that when they can vote, they will avoid the candidate cosigned by SJWs. It's a snowball effect. The older they get, the less likely they are to read Feminism Is For Everybody by all lowercase author "bell hooks" while dying their hair bright red.

 

[RG 448]

traditional description of the object in question.

That wording is spot on. The infantile versions of our race are the new version of those purse puppies that get dumped on the side of the road once they start clashing with mommy’s rainbow-vomit animal-productless ensemble.

The generation being discussed here are infants and are almost guaranteed to not be considered part of Gen Z when they grow up, but the one following them. Demographers aren't super consistent but ever since Gen X they've been sticking to ~ 15 years per generation. Gen Z stopped being born around the late 2000s.

Babies are born playing with extremely.gender neutral toys. Look at all the playsets you can get for your baby. Most of them are gender neutral because a company can make more coins selling to neither/both sexes then creating playset specifically for either gender separately. Babies don't really show a marked preference until older, and generally after their shitlord parent has pushed gendered toys on them for months already.

So going by that, Gen Z started being born at around 1995? That means the oldest of them were able to vote in the 2016 election. I wonder if there's data about how extremely young voters voted.

Babies demonstrate a preference for gender stereotypical toys as early as 9 months.

Tabula Rasa is utopian fiction by adults with extreme hangups about gender.

I've seen conflicting definitions depending on the demographers in question. Some put millennials as 1985-2000 and gen Z as 2000-2015, some put it 1980-1995 and 1995-2010.

"The study that asked the youngest children, 120 aged under two, that Arney could identify was conducted by Professor Melissa Hines at Cambridge University and it concluded that if you ask children under the age of two, there is no colour preference, with both sexes preferring pinker tones and both also prefer rounder shapes. It concludes:

The sex similarities in infants' preferences for colours and shapes suggest that any subsequent sex differences in these preferences may arise from socialisation or cognitive gender development rather than inborn factors."

http://theconversation.com/when-do-children-develop-their-gender-identity-56480

"In my own research, I’ve found that children don’t begin to notice and adopt gender-stereotyped behaviors (e.g., preferring colors like pink or blue) until the age of two or three. A few years later, their concept of gender becomes quite rigid."

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opini...determines-personality-s-dangerous-ncna814841

"While there is no consensus within the scientific community, many studies assertthat there is no male or female brain (one study calls them “intersex”), no inherent desire for cleats or ballet shoes tied to gender, no special skill sets or ingrained behavior. “There are very, very few differences in cognition and behavior,” between young boys and girls,” says Brown."


No marked preference difference in color or shape found in babies, male or female. In fact, both sexes showed a preference for pink/light red curved toys or shapes. So one could argue that both genders prefer female-typed toys or shapes below the age of 1 1/2 years old.
