We thought it was disrespectful to the trans community to use joke pronouns. Not only is creepy James Talarico not going to be Texas' next senator, but Gina Hinojosa isn't going to be Texas' next governor. She brought new levels of cringe to her campaign by declaring that her pronouns are Mom, Texan, and (soon-to-be) Governor.

There's a pretty good proposed Community Note:
Those are nouns.
This is not a serious candidate.
What?

Here's school choice evangelist Corey A. DeAngelis, who has a history with Hinojosa.
Those are nouns, Gina.

Did you go to failing government schools?
Does everyone remember how Democrat Gina Hinojosa lied about my Texas residence and then X fact-checked her? pic.twitter.com/clE63H9epJ

So she's not new to Community Notes.
Not happening. pic.twitter.com/z6Ux22d92f

Mom, Texan, and soon to be “unemployed”

Ain’t gonna happen.
You forgot delusional.

None of those are pronouns. You're off to a great start.

Dems are so fucking bad at this. Are you openly transphobic? if not, then why are you speaking like this?

Yeah this messaging sucks.

Wow, what a tone-deaf post! Mocking people who post the pronouns they’d like you to use to refer to them is supposed to be the domain of right-wing bigots, not Democratic candidates for statewide office.

Not a chance in hell. And we know who you really are. You are just another woke clown who uses pronouns, this ad is disingenuous, but I guess that's par for the course for every single socialist on the ballot pretending to be moderate to get elected. pic.twitter.com/NnMBGe8rTZ

Fire whoever came to you with this idea

And just like most of those who tell you their pronouns…

This will all be pretend and not actually based in reality.
She's actually getting slammed by would-be supporters for the transphobic pronouns joke they'd expect from a Republican. Not a great ad.
