ah, yes. because respecting someone's identity and being willfully evil by refusing to are exactly the same things, yup. Brilliant deduction there, sir Watson!

Freedom of speech my ass. You just want to be an asshole without facing the consequences.

I was confused because the original post now says "deleted_by_moderator" and I thought this was in response to that comment. Ha.

Are you a man? Would you enjoy someone calling you ma'am?

Are you a woman? Would you enjoy someone calling you sir?

How about even after you've corrected them repeatedly?

How about even when you know they're doing it specifically because they don't respect that you're a man/woman because they hate men/women?

if this is your take on misgendering, i don't think you're going to last very long here and this may not be the community for you.
