If you "misgender" Aimee, and I get how ridiculous that is, it just gives people ammunition to dismiss you as transphobic. Not that they need a reason to dismiss people as transphobic.

I'd rather """Get in trouble""" than have anyone leaving that thread thinking this person is ACTUALLY a WOMAN.

It's not about getting in trouble, it's about effective communication. You automatically turn some people off your argument by "misgendering" and then side track the conversation.

I call it the gender pretend game btw.

Calling him a she IS misgendering him.

Just say what comes into your head, don't over think it. Don't use up your time working it out.

Some I call he, some I call she.

I don't waste my brain cells on other people's special gender feelz.

Storme Delarverie said “People used to ask me if I preferred being called he or she. I said, ‘Whatever makes you comfortable’.”

That didn't go over so well for the terfs and lesbians.

We're still here.

I little name calling never hurt anyone.

It turns out words aren't actual violence and don't literally kill anyone.

You're a terf?

Yeah the terfs are here cause they got kicked off reddit. They got silenced. People are getting sick of it but we're not in the clear just yet. Baby steps.

Speaking of babies... I name today's bowel movement Aimee cause it was fat, disgusting, and I can't believe it came from my ass.
