Transfolk are free to ask people to use pronouns referencing the sex they were not born as. But no one is required to comply. It is not "misgendering" to decline to "missex" someone.

So when you say this, do you mean to say that refusing to use preferred pronouns is fine, and neutral language should be used in that case? Or are you saying that literally nothing is "misgendering", because at that point, pardon my French, why the fuck have a rule about it if you don't actually have a rule about it?

I never agreed to that rule.

So why is it there then? Why even bother pretending you're going to promote any pretense of a level ground for qt posters (of which there are like 5)?

The whole thing is ludicrous

Are you serious right now? You are not going to enforce the rules because you don’t agree with them? They say “created by Grixit” right beneath them. Why create a rule and then say you don’t agree with it? Why not remove it?
