I'm so tired of seeing these narcissists use the word "educate" in this context. "I have to teach you what to think because I'm objectively right and you're objectively wrong and you're not allowed to disagree with me." Maybe someone should educate you on the difference between fantasy and reality because your gender identity only exists inside your own head while everyone else is out here in the real world. People have to learn to accept reality because they have to live in it their whole life whether they like it or not.

It's basically just saying "I'm going to school you."

The general response I give now to "it's not my place to educate you"

Is to basically say "Yes it's not your place to educate anyone. Idiots shouldn't be teaching."

That makes people very angry but it's funny.

It's the same thing with "mansplaning" accusations. "You assume I need an explanation because I'm a woman"

No I assume you need an explanation because you seem like an idiot. I don't get angry at people who explain things I already know I thank them for trying to help me learn. Only an idiot would get angry if someone tells them something they already know.
