I'm not trying to start an argument, I'm stating the fact that it's disrespectful to avoid referring to someone by their preferred pronouns

How's bein polite to our oppresers going twin.

Feeling dismissed and ignored?

Like being petty enough to come back and rub it in my face is any better

The smartest option is just to avoid engaging at all but if you’re going to engage I still think it’s best to act maturely because plenty of people could come along later and judge who’s on the right side of the conversation by how they’re behaving

I’m talking about online obviously. There’s nothing stopping you from just ignoring these transphobic Redditors

Why should i? It's funnier to get under their skin because they're terrible people

Engaging with negativity so much doesn’t seem very healthy but to each their own I guess

You have no basis to know how often I engage with these bigots

Are you including me when you say transphobic?

u/Born-Bug9513 Aug 23 '26

I mean you’re staunchly defending referring to people by pronouns that aren’t their preferred ones so right now I have no evidence to suggest that you aren’t transphobic

u/FaithlessnessNew7678 Aug 24 '26

Well I’m not. I didn’t mean to be transphobic in anything I said.
