    Even with a trans person does something shitty, such as Blair White, Caitlyn Jenner or Ezra Miller, it’s not a free pass to misgender them. The only effect of that is the trans people in your life know you aren’t the ally you claim to be. You aren’t misgendering your friends because you are polite. It’s absolutely not okay, keep criticizing crappy trans folk, but when you intentionally misgender then you attack all of us.

    Also applies to misogyny in general. You can call out terfs (or just regular anti trans conservative women) for being bigoted shit faces without resorting to gendered attacks.

    Ooh, this is a great template, can be applied to all variety of bigotry, which people feel is ok as long as it’s aimed at other bigots, ignoring the fact that all they’re doing is putting more bigotry out in to the world, and telling marginalised people around them that they aren’t safe.

      can be applied to any shitty behaviour tbh. Too many people think that once someone is shitty to them, they have free reign to also be shitty as a payback. They think they gave the asshole a piece of their own medicine, but actually they started rolling in the mud with them

      I’m sorry, but what are you trying to say here? Why are you saying this to this specific image?

    The one exception should be teachers who refuse to stop misgendering a student, and then only done by the other students.

    I mean, there’s misgendering and misgnedering, isn’t there?

    Accidentally calling a woman a man on the internet coz u didn’t know is not a big deal.

    It can be something liberals use for their witch hunts.

      not knowing someone’s pronouns & assuming wrong =/= misgendering

      knowing someone’s pronouns and intentionally using the wrong ones = misgendering

    But its still funny how violently some people react to something that they do to other people every day(double standards)
