   If you deliberately misgender someone and think it is okay because you don't like them, or because they hurt you, or any other reason:

   That. Is. Transphobia.

   I don't know why this is hard for people.

   That. Is. Transphobia.

   If you see this and you are in the person's trusted orbit and you _don't_ call it out or call them in (even privately) that is also transphobia.

   Having trans friends or trans people who agree with you does not obviate this in any way, shape, or form.

   It is dehumanizing.

     @hrefna “Treat your neighbor as you would wish to be treated” is so simple a moral axiom and somehow so ignored…and anything eise IS attempting to treat them as inhuman and undeserving of that bedrock respect.

     You are saying that our basic humanity is contingent on whether _you_ _like_ _us_.

     Which is absolute BS.

     I despise Caitlyn Jenner and Blair White. I don't deliberately misgender either of them or treat misgendering of them as a "well I hate them so it is okay." Doing so would be _transphobia_.

     So if you see this in your orbit you need to be calling this out, or calling the person who is doing it in, or you are complicit.

     Period. Full stop.

     "But they…"

     Okay, and you don't understand how transphobia is not just about you? That it contributes to dehumanization of others outside of the scope of your disagreement?

     That dehumanizing contributes to a _culture_ of dehumanization that is currently a very, very real threat to many of us? That there are overarching _systemic_ and _societal_ issues at play outside of your own feelings?

     Go challenge them to a duel or whatever. Don't misgender them.

     Hey faggot. How about you crowdfund a shekel or two for a short length of rope and a stool. You can have the gravity for free!

     There is no such thing as "transgender". There is only the mental illness of gender dysphoria. If you cross dress and demand others call you a "woman", you are not a "woman", you are a nutcase. If you use chemicals or mechanical surgery to alter your body, you are not then a "woman" either. You are a tragic Dollar Store bargain bin Frankenstein's Monster - so, who is doing the dehumanizing here? We're just merrily mocking things that USED to be human, gelding.

     @Bunsen @Saint-Tarrant @The_Almighty_Kek @hrefna I do potentially have sympathy for the parent(s); not that they’re necessarily innocent - but the impulse to be “normal” isn’t in itself evil.
     I think about that poor Orthobro who got screwed by the state in favor of his Munchausen-by-proxy wife. Awful.
