    “Beryl? Even our Hurricanes are gender non-binary now.”

    That’s what he said in response to the National Hurricane Center posting the latest satellite image of the storm.

    It’s not nonsense. It’s a sustained attack on both people and science. This kind of message brings the science deniers and bigots closer together, helping to shore up that base and give it common ground.

      It gives them a new point of focus rather than the record-breaking severity of Beryl this early in the year.

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

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

          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.

        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?

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

    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".

      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.

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

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

      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.

      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.
