Pronouns matter

[TexasTowelie]

As if I needed another reason to love Elizabeth Warren, she’s gone and done something yet again that has upset right-wing Republicans. Granted, she pretty much does this every day by advocating for things Republicans hate, like access to health care for everybody and a living minimum wage.

But what I’m talking about is, literally, pretty small. But, figuratively, it is huge: She added her pronouns to her Twitter bio.

Now, in addition to saying, “U.S. senator, former teacher and candidate for president. Wife, mom, grandmother and Okie,” it also says, “She/her.”

Is she the only — or even the first — presidential candidate to include her pronouns on Twitter? I don’t know (though all of them should). What I do know is that some people are not happy. And those people are largely anti-LGBTQ, with a heavy emphasis on anti-trans.

2. made me switch.

this means so much to me and mine.

the simple things, if we did them all, would turn this whole shitstorm upside down.
and she is just the one to do it.

3. Castro and DeBlasio also added their pronouns.

I think all of the candidates should do it.

She is very high on my list of candidates. I'm still undecided about who I will vote for in the primaries. I will happily campaign and vote for her if she is the nominee.

5. not true, her biggest supporters are educated women who do not consider themselves as socialist

or even being left.

but working women who want a system that is fair for them. they got the educationand experience why are they not being paid as much or more than others with similar or less ?

and she is appealing to those who consider themselves to be moderate.

6. Welcome to DU..

7. The funny thing is that whoever gets our party's nomination

will be called a socialist.

Biden, Harris, Klobuchar, Warren, Sanders, Mayor Pete, Castro, O'Rourke...or any of the others, no matter who gets our nomination will be labeled a socialist.

8. Why do you believe that?

9. You don't see reTHUG hypocrites advocating ridding themselves of their socialist perks!

Like the socialist health care for congress-critters and senators, just for one example!

10. Elizabeth Warren has firmly stated that she is a capitalist

She believes in capitalism in the old-fashioned sense that people who work hard and achieve in the business world can have an appropriate amount of success, but they do so in a system that has a "cop on the beat" to enforce necessary rules and make sure there is a level playing field for all.
