I like how I never said I would intentionally misgender someone, just that no one should require validation from others as long as we know who we are. Expecting everyone to accept you is a dream not a reality, and the comments from ppl you don’t know or care about shouldn’t affect you.
Im cis gender and have been mistaken for a different gender many times. It never bothered me bc my identity is not dependent upon concepts like gender, masculinity, or femininity. They’re often treated as rigid boxes that people are forced to fit into. I’d rather see ppl free to be themselves without wanting to conform to expectations or labels created by others who are uncomfortable with ambiguity or individuality. And just realise sometimes others won’t accept them and leave it at that.
Pronouns are generally an important part of someone’s identity. They help communicate that strong internal identity. Using someone’s correct pronouns shows you care about them and want them to feel comfortable/safe around you. Changing pronouns is an important part of transitioning, so if you actually care about that person you’ll use their new/correct pronouns. Misgendering someone intentionally, cis or trans, is just disrespectful in general and shows a lack of empathy/care for them
I’m allowed to have an opinion too, you’re not the only one who has rights. It’s people like you that make me ashamed to apart of the lgbtqia community. Instead of excluding people and saying their opinions don’t matter, maybe you should take a DEI and Team Training course. Bc clearly you purposefully missed the inclusive part of the course.
you are treating your experience as a cis person like the epitome of how trans people experience dysphoria. you aren’t even trans. you do not experience dysphoria in the same way. people have severe, life-threatening mental illnesses CAUSED by dysphoria, not just appearing alongside it. please realize how you are speaking for trans people when multiple trans people are telling you that you can’t.
Yes I was hospitalised for mine, always assuming things. So I’m supposed to respect a community and our people who tell people they can’t have an opinion. Most people haven’t experienced death so therefore can’t have an opinion on it. When y’all can be a place that actually provides a safe space for people, then you can earn my respect. But I have no respect for people who are closed minded and demand respect for their own rights but forget about the rights of others.
you realize that the only people who actually know what death feels like is people who’ve died… right? have you died? then how tf are you gonna have an “opinion” on how that feels? even trans people shouldn’t shit on others just because they don’t feel the same way. you’re insulting people when you do NOT understand how they feel. and it doesn’t matter if you were hospitalized, you admitted your mental illness WASN’T caused by dysphoria. even if it was, you shouldn’t talk shit.
you still don’t know how every single individual person who’s died feels lmao, so stop acting like you do. also tf is this red herring, stfu and listen to the people who actually experience dysphoria around pronouns instead of saying “well IIIII didn’t feel that so YOUUU must not have either” 💀
Well that’s tuff kid, I am the star of my own life so it’s always relevant. We all deserve respect, but demanding it, and then treating others like crap is shameful behavior. Our community is so hateful and even to our own ppl. I’m glad we decided to force our ideologies, just like societal norms did to us, instead of seeking neutral grounds. I’m proud to be gay, I’ll fight tooth and nail for everyone regardless what I believe, but some of these commenters are the reason why some don’t accept us
