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.

It takes strength to be different. However, when someone doesn’t agree with me I don’t feel the need to come up with a label for those people and insinuate that they have some type of phobia. Just simply be yourself without announcing your differences.

@Markymark The issue is...it’s not about strength. Being trans has nothing to do with being strong or different. It’s literally something you can’t choose. It’s not at all about strength.

Uh...k? Transphobia is literally not a phobia. It means that someone doesn’t respect trans people. It has nothing to do with a “label” I put on them—it’s literally just what they are.

@ShaythePanTransMan the root word is phobia. Maybe it’s an inaccurate term. Also, you can be strong and different regardless of whether or not you choose something or you’re born a certain way. Being argumentative about arbitrary things might be your biggest obstacle.

@Markymark It is an inaccurate term.
Markymark · 46-50
@ShaythePanTransMan so why use it?
ShaythePanTransMan · 22-25, T
@Markymark Because it’s the word that denotes someone who is disrespectful to trans people.
Honestly, no need to deliberate about something stupid like this. Transphobic is the correct word.

No insinuation is necessary. They fear transgender people. Full stop.

@ShaythePanTransMan but you just said it’s inaccurate. Whatever. I guess you’re terminology fluid? 😁
Markymark · 46-50
@daisymay you’re saying nobody in the world simply disagrees with it? Everyone is fearful? That’s a convenient way to see the world. Anyone who disagrees with me must have some type of phobia or insufficiency. 🙄

It's like disagreeing that rocks exist. So, yeah, you can't simply disagree that something exists.
daisymay · 51-55, T
@Markymark Oh, 🙄, you, too.
Markymark · 46-50
@daisymay but if that rock could speak and tell me it’s a tree I’m unwilling to go around asking all rocks if they prefer to be called a rock or a tree. The frustration I’m afraid you’re going to encounter is that not everyone is willing to participate in the game.

Wow, that's a mighty false equivalence you've got going on there. You should be careful to not hurt yourself.

[quote]not everyone is willing to participate in the game[/quote]

It's not a game. That you view it as such puts you squarely in the transphobe camp. 🤷‍♀️

Please, continue to predict my future, Nostradumbass.

@daisymay false equivalence? Well saying I’m wrong is like saying rocks don’t exist. (is that how you do it?) I’m going to save myself some frustration and ridiculous analogies. Mark the Hetero OUT! Have a nice life ma’am or sir or both?

@Markymark [quote]false equivalence?[/quote]

Yes, you're stating that you now have to go around asking everyone what their pronouns are. That is false. You definitely don't do that.

Furthermore, no one has to do that at all. When someone is corrected (OH THE HORROR!) or informed ahead of time (OH THE HORROR!), there is no need to ask, now is there?
