Just blocked about 10 transphobes

I’m upset though at what they said. Why can’t people just respect everyone’s gender identity? In my opinion, misgendering someone is extremely abusive and immediately takes away all your rights to be respected as a human being.

Agreed. Its always amazing to me that people get SO upset and against something, that honestly probably has no affect on them.

If someone feels they are a different gender, why would that affect me? I know my sex is male and I feel male, so I am good. Nothing changes in my world.

Then why would a friend who is a FtM trans make me feel any different? Maybe they wwant me to use "they" as a pronoun. Thats a pain :) I will probably forget, but I will try. Just like I might forget a new person's name and try to remember it.

People just feel like they need reasons to be butthurt these days.

@Pherick Exactly, and it makes the person suffer so much. Not many people can truly understand just how much it hurts to be misgendered.

Well, it shouldn’t be a pain for them to ask you to use they/them pronouns.

They do.

@ShaythePanTransMan No I mean its a pain for me to remember to use them, I have a horrible memory for trying to remember names, and I link this to that.

Its not a pain in any other way.

@Pherick oh XD yes it might be difficult in that case. I myself sometimes have problems thinking my professor’s pronouns right occasionallybecause they’re just so masculine-presenting.
