I wonder if this poster on Reddit uses the term “pregnant person” instead of “pregnant woman” in the most straight-faced way possible, without a hint of irony.

Authors ask Waterstones to rehire worker fired after tweet about gender-critical writer
Over 500 industry professionals sign open letter to bookseller after employee’s post about ‘tearing up books’ by Christina Dalcher

More than 500 authors and book industry professionals have signed an open letter calling on Waterstones to reverse a decision to dismiss an employee who said she would tear up and throw away books written by a gender-critical author.
Figures including Chocolat author Joanne Harris, writer and podcaster Dorian Lynskey, and author and culture journalist Jason Okundaye have backed Tilly Fitzgerald, who posts book-related content and reviews under the username TillyLovesBooks on social media. Fitzgerald was sacked after responding to a post on X by author Christina Dalcher, which appeared to endorse a publishing network for those “concerned about the impact of gender ideology” on the sector. Fitzgerald wrote: “Ooh, I’ll enjoy tearing up your books and popping them in the bin today. Thanks for the heads up.”
Fitzgerald, who had worked for Waterstones as a bookseller since August 2023, explained in a video posted on 8 July that Waterstones had sacked her over her social media activity. “I’ve just been sacked from the only job I’ve ever loved,” she said.
“I told [Dalcher] on Twitter that I was going to throw away her books after I found out that she was a bigot”, Fitzgerald added. “She tagged Waterstones and they have decided to fire me for my social media usage. It’s the first mistake I’ve ever made, I’ve been nothing but an exemplary employee there”.
A spokesperson from Waterstones said Fitzgerald was dismissed “on the grounds of contravening Waterstones policies” and that the decision “has nothing to do with transgender rights”.
“We are an inclusive employer and follow due process in HR matters,” the spokesperson told the Guardian. “For obvious reasons we are unable to comment on the specifics of individual cases.”
Fitzgerald told the Guardian: “My intention responding to Dalcher was only to let her know that I would no longer be supporting her books in my personal capacity as a reviewer.”
The open letter, which was published by British comedy script writer Sara Gibbs, said that its signatories “feel it is an egregious error to terminate the employment of a dedicated, passionate and knowledgeable bookseller for expressing a personal opinion about an author and their work on their social media page.”
“We would like to express support and solidarity with Tilly, and to urge Waterstones to do the right thing and reinstate her,” the letter goes on to say.
A store fires an employee who publicly threatens to destroy its inventory. This is an "egregious error?"

People arguing with her don't realize that's this is making her feel good. There are people who feed off of any kind of attention be it positive or negative. The more you tell her how wrong she is and the angrier you get the more superior she is feeling. The only way to stoo these people is to ignore them but since it's Xitter there will always be idiots trying to argue and giving her the attention she is craving.

An opinion would be her saying that the book is shit, not her saying she's going to destroy the inventory. Freedom of speech isn't freedom of consequences, sweaty
Wow, what a crazy thread. I have said it once, I will say it again: every single one of these retarded queers crying about HIV/AIDS demanded that you mask up and get an untested vaccine four fucking years ago so their fat asses wouldn't die from COVID. Every. Single. One.
Figured I might as well show the pic of the man who reblogged/started that thread:
And some of the things he's reblogged. Of course, this fat fuck is a loyal male feminist and he's going to let you know how progressive he is! BTW, this creature is twenty two years old.
The shitlibs crying about patriarchy and rape culture have a terrific solution for rapists: let them roam free.
Doing anything against rapists is fascism in this fuckstick's mind:
You think you hate these people, but you don't hate them enough.
Libshits go back in time to find some racy jokes in 2012. Ah, those were the days.
You can try dragging someone behind your truck for racism. You tried that in 2020. I seem to recall an enby by the same of Summer Taylor eating a grille and pavement as payment.
A Frenchman laughs at the shocked faces of Le Pen's supporters, saying they have the looks of 'smacked arses' and gloats that the racists lost. Link / Archive
If you don't support mass migration and imported rape, you're an Original Fascist. Good to know.

Did you know porn addiction isn't a thing? Let this piss fetish pooner give you the facts. She just hates imprecise language. Archive.
"It's a stupid term because I say so." Archive.
A little lore: this disabled obese Jew pooner, who hates white men but loves reading porn of them, had a Pajeet boyfriend who only lasted a month. She also can't cook and has "disordered eating." Lives with her parents (who pay for her tuition), and spends all her free time raging at those bigoted TERFs. Also draws like a child, bug that's expected.

I get that rightoids tend to overuse the term porn addiction (no Patrick, jerking off to hentai of attractive women is not porn addiction. An odd fetish isn’t a porn addiction either), but porn addiction 100% exists. You see it with those guys that get fired for looking at porn at work, or (like my sister’s ex) those guys who talk about nugget porn apropos of nothing or constantly stare at women in a creepy way.

Friend of mine loves to tell stories of a guy at his job (he's in I.T.) who kept looking at porn on his work computer. And they REPEATEDLY warned him, "don't do it at work!"
The guy was apparently into midget porn and his favorite website was "itty bitty gang bang."

Famed computer programmer John Carmack does not believe that people wishing for the death of Donald Trump after his attempted assassination this past weekend, should be fired and he’s a free speech advocate. He believes that it could have dire consequences which would make both sides of the political spectrum look bad
Sam Hyde, on the other hand, thought differently. He’s currently being lauded over it, while adding a screenshot of a tweet for people that think they can get along with people that wish death on you for having a difference of political opinions:

I don't think they should be fired for thinking or even saying it, depending on the context, but it's really likely anyone engaging in insane, bloodthirsty screaming on the same accounts where they do business are going to have people turned off by that, and they're probably not doing their jobs anyway.
Like when even a woke outlet like Disney will fire a guy like Chuck Wendig from Star Wars novelizations because he constantly insulted the audience and told them things like "eat a boot covered in shit" from the very account where he advertised his Star Wars shit, really what are they supposed to do?
I think it's autistic bullshit to go hunting for stuff like this to get people fired, but what do they expect when they rile up a bunch of shrieking autists? Sympathy level for these clowns getting what they've called for done against their enemies? Less than zero.
If the idiots doing this think they're striking some great blow against evil, though, they're, well, idiots.

Sam's kinda right although he overdoes the point and Carmack is a libertarian and therefore terminally gay.
It doesn't have anything to do with cancel culture honestly. I mean call it whatever you want, but If you cheer on murder you're probably going to end up getting fired. That's been the case forever.
