Shrek wore armor to save the Princess from the sexy Dragon in the movie, you're Shrek, I'm the Dragon and WHOEVER THE FUCK I was responding to originally before you decided to butt in lmao is the gender-neutral princess
Edit: Who the fuck is this third wheel who keeps downvoting along with you, bitch do you know how deep we are in this shit thread, stop following us
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
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
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
So you literally don't know what the phrase "Knight in Shining Armor" means? Lol that's even funnier, is that a British thing?
I know what knight in shining armour means, dunno what the fuck shrek has to do with it

Not "defending them" at any point in this conversation, but ok
Edit: and I'm not downvoting you, except the two misgendering comments up top
This thread is literally on their behalf, that is LOVE bruh and don't you deny it
So there's two of them huh, damn got yourself a Donkey and Puss-y in Boots

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.
