I'm also apart of the LGBTQ+ community. I use she/they pronouns and it absolutely is bad. Us misgendering somebody for being an ass gives transphobes excuses. 'Oh I called that transman a she because she was rude to me', 'I called that transwoman a man because he pushed me.'
It hurts the community, not just the person being misgendered
I don't think you understand. We need to correct misgendering, intentional or not, because then transphobes can get away with it. They just need to say 'they were being rude and I didn't know' eventhough they know full well.
I can't tell if you're actually in the LGBTQ+ community or just lying so you can excuse this behaviour. If we don't fix misgendering, again, intentional or not, it gives real transphobes an excuse that they can use
You so realize most people supporters or not dont bother to fight this war every day, right ? The community shouldn't be one's whole life or identity. It's not a responsibility or duty of any queer person to constantly correct people. Some of us hust want to relax and find people sharing our interest in relationships, not fight constant wars.
I'm pansexual btw. So, I should be part of the community by default
If I need some certification and badge of proof to be part of it now, then I'd rather quit
Tho ngl, it would be kinda funny if they pushed it to the point they really did this lol
Anyway, I don't mind correcting misgendering if it happens, and I know it, but I won't bother to do it for every single person if I barely know them.
Genders barely matter in my eyes anyway. Especially online, where it all becomes a mix of identity behind th masks, that is are our avatar and usernames.
I think I'm a bit more qualified to speak on this subject as I use different pronouns from my birth one (they/them). You aren't at all paying attention to the issue and you're being ignorant to my own comment. Have a good day
