Richard Stallman Has Been Vilified by Those Who Don’t Know Him
Dude has gone out of his way to make other people uncomfortable. I use singular they for my pronouns. He&#x27;s so bothered by this that he goes out of his way to not only tell me I&#x27;m wrong for doing so, but to invent his own language for referring to folks who use gender neutral pronouns (which no one will understand, because it&#x27;s not widely used).<p>I would certainly question whether I was welcome at an event where he was a speaker&#x2F;key presenter. Even if I was told I was welcome, I suspect others would feel emboldened to antagonistically challenge my pronouns. To me, it makes sense that if he&#x27;s causing people to consider not attending events or signing up for his causes, then he&#x27;s maybe not the right &#x27;perse&#x27; for the job.
