This thread is literally on their behalf

I just stated the meaning of the turn of phrase they used because it looked like you didn’t know what it meant.

Then you somehow managed to misgender them twice, when we all have our pronouns right next to our names, in a thread about a fucking pronoun struggle session.

You then argued that “I can see [thing i predict]” isn’t a turn of phrase (it is)

Then you accused me of “white knighting” but tried to be cute about it

That’s it

That’s all this thread is

Does “turn of phrase” mean something different in British land, you literally don’t know what the term means, since you confused a declarative statement that used the word “see” as an Intransitive Verb, there is no expression being used, they clearly thought they would literally see (as in the action of seeing regarding the action of reading) a state of alienation as a result of the struggle session

If they used the word “see” as an idiom then their comment is gibberish

Then you somehow managed to misgender them twice,

Yeah I don’t know any trans people in real life so this doesn’t come easily, I have to think and check before I type, and I got your pronouns stuck in my head instead thanks to your reflexive white knighting

Then you accused me of “white knighting”

Want me to say it again

“I can see [thing i predict]” is an idiomatic way of saying “i predict [thing i predict]” which is what a turn of phrase is

And i literally have not defended them at all in this entire thread, go back and read it.

It’s not idiomatic, “I can see” is a positive declarative statement using an INTRANSITIVE VERB “see” to lead into another positive declarative statement in the form of a prediction, there’s no “turning” because the phrase was already clear, there’s no allusion
