Had a convo with an actual tranny a few weeks ago, whose a batshit crazy communist and still manages to be more sane than most of these people, about the whole misgendering thing and it's wild the language the use to essentially describe someone yelling "YWNBAW" on the corner of twitter. It was always abuse. Assault. Violent intimidation. Harassment. Stochastic terrorism."Some cis ppl seems to really underestimate how much damage wording like this can do to a trans person's mental health"
You're demanding that everyone worry at all times that they may be harming you if they deviate in any way from your beliefs. You're claiming psychic harm from being exposed to someone else's true thoughts. You believe yourself to be a progressive on the edge of rationality but you're following in the footsteps of every religious totalitarian in history who also sought to stamp out anyone who didn't accept their doctrine. To put in language you might understand better: you're an abuser. You're putting the burden of maintaining your own mental health on other people and holding them responsible only when it's "harmed" by their disagreement. You're demanding they perform ceaseless emotional labor solely so that you can hold them "accountable" when they inevitably fail.
I'll tell you one thing, they've definitely got the stereotypical neurotic worrying down pat. But this time instead of asking you to walk them home from a party once a year it's that if we don't stop NATE HIGGERS with a profile picture of Bobby in a wig posting YWNBAW on twitter, moon man himself will descend from on high to rip out xers organs and Lynch xim with xers on small intestine.
