I get what you’re saying but we’re trying to reclaim the right to label reality accurately without being punished for not using nice friendly lies. Personally I was sold on singular “they” back in high school when it was too awkward writing without it, so I default to that if I can’t bring myself to use someone’s pronouns (and I don’t have an issue using inaccurate, preferred pronouns sometimes for trans people who don’t behave like their birth sex). I’m pretty sure Buck Angel has bigger issues in life than what pronouns GC feminists use, and it isn’t an irrelevant detail that one of the “good ones” was born female. Our fight is very much a defense against the demands of natal males, and you can’t say it costs us nothing if we’re forced to obscure that detail.
