  • She wasn’t insisting on gender neutral pronouns.

    Sje was angry people didn’t know her son was a son. Which they didn’t know because they were never told before (directly or indirectly). She intentionally chose to obscure gender for some reason and then got pissed people got confused.

    I should have used “they” because babies aren’t “it”s, I could care less about disrespecting the mother, but the kid didn’t deserve that.







  • I knew a lady, new mother, who insisted on putting her baby in green or yellow rather than pink or blue.

    Which, wouldn’t be something to make fun of except she got furious when people misgendered the baby boy. Even more furious when some jackass named me got fed up and started referring to the baby as “it”.

    She didn’t catch the point. The husband did, though.

    (Hindsight says I should have used “they” but they’ve subsequently turned weirdly conservative, so maybe that would have pissed her off just as much.)








  • It would depend on if the deflector shields in Star Wars work to disrupt transportation or not. (Also on phasers.)

    Also the kind of effects ion weapons would have.

    Also the empire was never meant to actually be a competent military. Their vehicles are designed for terror, not practicality. Their pilots and infantry are all incompetent and mass produced.

    In short they were actually designed to fail.

    In any case, there’s too many assumptions that have to be made to put them in the same universe and that’s going to go which ever the way the judges want it to go.

    I just fantasize about Miles having several thousand torps just transport in a cloud and zip off to eagerly suicide into something - and Kira’s snark, or maybe just have her glare with a twitchy eyebrow.
