Beryl is a mineral. There are definitely women with the name, and there are likely some men, too (though A Boy Named Beryl doesn’t have the same ring to it).

intensely_human ,

But is it weird? Beryl is a decidedly androgynous name.

What’s weird is that his saying this turned into a news story.

tacosplease ,

There is a judge - Beryl Howell - who has given some (correctly) unfavorable rulings in Trump cases. Can’t help but think he’s talking about the name because of her.

intensely_human ,

Guess we’ll never know unless someone wastes the energy to find out.

What’s weird is that he’s complaining about androgynous names. Was he born yesterday?

intensely_human ,

Who cares?

JimSamtanko ,

Why do we care about what that human-mouthed pile of shit has to say?

Exactly. Sorry OP but I’m downvoting this post because this turd sandwich does not need any clout.

Fuzzy_Red_Panda ,

It’s always a little disturbing when clearly the headline must be from The Onion…but then it’s not.

cabron_offsets ,

I never seen a hurricane with a dick or a minge, so…

intensely_human ,

minge lol that’s a new one for me

And gender has nothing to do with genitals…

A couple of things:

  1. I’ve only ever heard Beryl as a woman’s name, although I don’t see a problem with a man or a nonbinary person using it. It’s a bizarre claim though. It’s like saying Mary is a ‘nonbinary name.’ Technically true because Donald is also a nonbinary name for the same reason.

More importantly though…

  1. Hurricanes don’t have a fucking gender.

I see, We really should check if they see themselves as agender or nonbinary then.

I’ve heard some of them self identify as typhoons

DON’T FEED THE TROLLS

I usually say this about the comments, but this is about the article itself.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I would not say the most prominent LGBT+ news outlet is trolling. They report on bigotry. It’s part of their job.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble ,

This shit is what the Trumps feed off of. It’s what gives them their power.

FlyingSquid ,

They already have power and queer people need to know when that power is wielded against them. That nonbinary people are becoming as big a target as trans people is something that people, especially nonbinary people, need to stay informed about.

intensely_human ,

How is his saying this an example of them being targeted?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You do realize he’s complaining about nonbinary people’s names, right?

intensely_human ,

And this guy saying he thinks Beryl is a non-binary name isn’t bigotry. Perhaps they’re targeting him for something else that he did that was bigoted? Did he do something else like that?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

This is the sort of thing that a non-queer person coming from a position of privilege would say.

loaExMachina ,

Queen Beryl is nb ? Queen Beryl, a villain from Sailor Moon. A tall person with crimson hair a black diadem and a deep purple dress. They’re sitting on a throne and holding a black scepter. I’m saying “they/them” because I’m following the joke premise that they’re non binary, but I’m almost sire they’re supposed to be a woman. They have breasts and are called “queen”.

DmMacniel ,
@DmMacniel@feddit.org avatar

Wouldn’t their title be Monarch Beryl then? Also it would kinda fit in Sailor Moon since we had Uranus and Neptune being roommates together.

loaExMachina ,

Yeah, I’m just assuming “Queen” is their first name since that’s how they’re referred to.

Gerudo ,

Aren’t the names decided like decades ago?

intensely_human ,

Only for people who are decades old. For some babies, it was mere months.

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

The list repeats until a name is “retired,” as this one probably will be

aramis87 ,

Cokehead MAGAt says what?

webghost0101 ,

Good, all names should be non binary.

Samvega ,

Coercive human gender norms are to be consigned to the dustbin of history, either through progress or via the self-extinction of humanity. Whichever comes first.

intensely_human ,

Fucking amen. We must do away with all coercive approaches to cultural norms.

Lost_My_Mind ,

“Donald Trump Jr claims…”

Sorry, I stopped paying attention. But also, I’m not sorry.

inb4_FoundTheVegan ,
@inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world avatar

People with “Jr” in their name don’t get to make fun of other names.

Lost_My_Mind ,

Especially when their dad doesn’t even love them.

Chozo ,

I kinda want to start a fake movement to rename hurricanes as "themicanes", just to piss off dipshit goobers like this.

grue ,

Why fake?

dogslayeggs ,

This made me chuckle. Thanks.

Related: my buddy was wearing a romphim the other day at a party. It’s like a romper but for men.
