I kinda want to start a fake movement to rename hurricanes as "themicanes", just to piss off dipshit goobers like this.
- Why fake?
- 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.
People with "Jr" in their name don't get to make fun of other names.
- Especially when their dad doesn't even love them.
A couple of things:
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...
Hurricanes don't have a fucking gender.
- I've heard some of them self identify as typhoons
- I see, We really should check if they see themselves as agender or nonbinary then.
"Donald Trump Jr claims..."
Sorry, I stopped paying attention. But also, I'm not sorry.
DON’T FEED THE TROLLS
I usually say this about the comments, but this is about the article itself.
- I would not say the most prominent LGBT+ news outlet is trolling. They report on bigotry. It's part of their job.
  
  This shit is what the Trumps feed off of. It’s what gives them their power.
Queen Beryl is nb ?
- 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.
  
  Yeah, I'm just assuming "Queen" is their first name since that's how they're referred to.
Cokehead MAGAt says what?
Good, all names should be non binary.
- [angry high-frequency noises]
- 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.
I never seen a hurricane with a dick or a minge, so…
- And gender has nothing to do with genitals...
Aren't the names decided like decades ago?
- The list repeats until a name is “retired,” as this one probably will be
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).
Peak cokehead behavior
It's always a little disturbing when clearly the headline must be from The Onion...but then it's not.
